We took our unruly shelter pit bill mix to Chris for board and train and received a very different dog. Chris is amazing. His techniques are kind and firm and he seems to have this innate ability to understand and communicate with dogs in a way that few people can. He lives close to our home in Lees Summit, so that’s an extra bonus we appreciate. Harley loves him and we do too!

I was looking for a trainer locally that did frisbee training and I have to say that Chris is an excellent trainer although Lexi, my dog had to get polished up on some of her obedience he has shown me some of the basic mistakes I have made in training my dog now with that in mind, my dog is a lot more engaged with me and listens so much better I would refer Chris to anyone looking for such training once again, my highest regard for Chris and his training methods. I appreciate him so much.
Chris is a very experienced dog trainer. I was a little nervous until I was able to hear him train and talk to my dog. He is very patient and keeps at it until he is satisfied. This is a comfortable home setting rather than a kennel.
Amazing dog trainer. We had Chris do a two week training with our 9 month old puppy. He is now has much better impulse control and is a delight to take on walks. He places so well too! Chris has such a great approach to training and really understands each pup. We are so impressed!
