Last year our sweet Golden puppy turned into an energetic, 70 lb unruly teenager. He was so big and strong, we couldn’t walk with him or take him out. We worried about having visitors because he would jump up on them. He is sweet boy, but we were struggling to control him. We found Chris online and sent our dog for a two week board and train.
The change in Finn was amazing! Chris then spent time with my husband and I training us too. Chris is great about explaining behavior and pointing out how we often encourage unwanted behaviors through our actions. We can go on walks and take him with us to the park and shopping!
We recommend Chris wholeheartedly!

We had Chris board our Great Dane for 8 days and he provided excellent care and knowledge. Being away from home is easier knowing someone like Chris is taking care of our dog. We would recommend him to anyone.

Chris had our Goldendoodle for 3 weeks and made a tremendous difference with his behavior. We can now take him for enjoyable walks and we no longer have upset neighbors related to his barking.

Chris did a great job with our 4 month old lab puppy. Before his training our puppy was barking, jumping, biting and being a menace in general. After two weeks with Chris, he’s a changed dog! He understands commands. He’s no longer barking in the kennel, he knows how to place, he’s not biting anything other than toys, and little to no jumping! Highly recommend Chris’ services.

We got an older German shepherd that paced around a lot and had some discipline issues. Chris and Kayla worked out a training program with their board and train. They gave us instruction on how to continue working with her. She is now a calm obedient dog. Their prices were roughly similar to other places, but I felt Chris and Kayla offered a lot more training time with the dog.
