I can’t recommend Christian and his team highly enough. I brought my dog, Rainy, to them for a board and train focused on reactivity and off-leash obedience, and they did an incredible job. From the very first meeting, Christian’s calm demeanor immediately put Rainy at ease, and it was clear he truly understands dogs and how to build trust. The progress Rainy made was noticeable and meaningful. What I appreciate most is how confident I now feel in Rainy’s recall. Before the training, I was always hesitant to let her off leash because I worried she wouldn’t listen if something distracted her or triggered her. Now, I feel completely comfortable letting her roam free knowing she will return on command. The off-leash e-collar training is there as a safety backup, but I’ve found that 95% of the time I don’t even need it, she responds right away to just my voice. Still, having that extra layer of security gives me real peace of mind in case of an emergency. They were professional, patient, and communicative throughout the entire process, and their approach truly strengthened both Rainy’s behavior and our bond. If you’re looking for a trainer who delivers real results and genuinely cares about your dog, I couldn't recommend them enough. I had considered some board and trains in other areas outside of the city like in Hudson Valley, but it was important to me that the training she did would translate directly in the city, so knowing she was doing all of the training in an urban environment was very important to me. They communicated very well and gave constant updates and videos throughout the entire process.

This was the first time my family owned a puppy. We wanted to make sure our new pup Champ had an understanding of obedience because we didnt want to make the same mistake with our previous dog. We want to be able to give Champ the freedom he needs to let out his energy & be outgoing but also to ensure his safety overall. Thats when we reached out to Christian at Blunt K9, based on the reviews and the service he offered for puppies, we knew we could trust him to help Champ go on the right path. & he did not fail. We left Champ as an energetic puppy who didn’t understand the foundation of obedience and we left him with Christian for the 6 week training program & Champ came back a whole new puppy still with alot of energy lol but he is a puppy and we know its just part of his personality. but obedience wise we saw a whole new side of Champ that we cant wait to see him progress more as he gets older. Christian was very helpful in teaching us each week what Champ learned, keeping in contact and updating us on what Champ learned. And as Champ is still a puppy, Christian is still there for us now that he is home, by giving us follow ups and ensuring that if we need any help, we can reach out. I am excited to see Champ get more better as he gets older to allow him to be a playful dog when it comes to activities. We cant recommend Blunt K9 enough to help your dog get on the right path. They were amazing!

Christian made a huge difference for our family. We sent both of our dogs to his one-month board-and-train program, and it was exactly what we needed: personalized, thoughtful, and transformative. Our older dog (6 years old) had been the “only child” his whole life, and bringing home our second dog—full of puppy energy at a year and a half—turned both their worlds upside down. On top of that, both dogs had reactivity around other dogs, which made walks and everyday life stressful. From the evaluation, Christian was able to understand each dog’s unique personality, tendencies, and triggers, and he came back with clear plans tailored specifically for each of them. He truly understood what makes our dogs tick. Their self-control has improved dramatically, their reactivity has significantly decreased, and, maybe most importantly for us, they’re now able to play, relax, and actually enjoy each other’s company at home. Watching them peacefully hang out together has been such a joy, and we didn't even think it would be possible. Christian brings so much expertise, calm presence, and genuine care for the dogs he works with. They absolutely adore him. We first heard about him through the owner of Brick City Pets, and I’m so glad we followed that recommendation. We’re walking away with happier, more grounded dogs and a lot more confidence as owners. Highly recommend!!

I came to Christian with concerns about Scooby’s behavior around other dogs/animals. As well as obedience issues because of his breed. Although I was worried that Scooby would be defiant or against the training with proper techniques and guidance we were able to get him to be a completely different dog. No leash pulling, follows orders and has lost all reactivity. His methods may be new to people and looked at differently but it’s a necessary step in the process to build a bond with your best friend and being able to effectively communicate with them. Christian is a great trainer and understands the tougher breeds to handle. Definitely look into training if you want a deeper connection with your dog.

Chris helped me with my super reactive dog, D, in ways I will forever be grateful for. D was super reactive towards other dogs of all sizes and breeds. She has a really high prey drive. She is a 40lb pebble girl that needed to learn boundaries in order to correct her undesirable behaviors. And she had a number of them. Pulling really badly on walks, jumping on people, attempting to attack other dogs, possessiveness of me in my home to the point I didn’t feel comfortable having people over. I adopted her from the Newark Animal Shelter. She came in as a stray, was in the shelter for 7 months and they knew little about her. When I brought her home I quickly learned about these undesirable behaviors and started to panic. Bringing her back was not an option so I invested in Chris’s knowledge and expertise. Along with D’Souza training, I learned while she did. He always let me know what they were working on and I got plenty of update videos throughout the process. Through the process, he taught me about her behavior, he commands he implemented and why as well as how this works to correct her behavior. 10 OUT OF 10 HIRE BLUNT K9. He has so many options to help you and your dog and he is so patient in working with you to figure out what you and your dog need in order to live healthy and happy lives together!
