Questions & answers

What people have asked about this business.

Is the training center still operational? I've sent an email through their website, I've called and left messages with no responses.

I would think so, they just recently moved to this location. Chris does most everything on his own, maybe he's on vacation. FYI: he is an honest, straightforward guy and a great trainer!

What a difference in Max. Thank you Chris! Max went from a hyper puppy to a calm puppy without losing his personality.

We recently enrolled our one-year-old mini poodle, who is incredibly lively and energetic, in a ten-day boarding and training program at Stronghaus. Milo has always struggled with containing his excitement and curiosity, making obedience difficult. However, upon his return, we were astonished by the transformation he underwent. Chris not only taught Milo the essential commands, but also provided us with the necessary insights and techniques to continue his obedience training at home. The transformation was immediately noticeable during our review session. Our once impulsive poodle had become alert, responsive, and well-mannered, filling us with immense pride. I was literally grinning from ear to ear while Chris was demonstrating all Milo had learned. Although it has only been a few hours since we welcomed him back home, we understand that it will require continuous effort on our part, but the positive change in his behavior is undeniable. We are now excited to explore new adventures with him, confident that we can guide him safely and joyfully without causing any inconvenience to others due to his unwanted jumps of excitement. We owe this all to Chris's expertise. If you are struggling with your dog's behavior, I highly recommend using Stronghaus. Their methods help to establish a relationship of respect and understanding between you and your furry friend. Additionally, their training techniques will turn the learning process into a fun and enjoyable experience for both you and your dog. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Chris for unlocking our dog's full potential.

Meet our baby Frankie, she is 7 months old German Shepherd mix, and was a handful and a 1/2, until we met Chris. The whole time he had her, I was missing her something awful, even to the point where I was even okay with the no sleeping, the stress of her not learning how to walk properly, and scared of everybody, including her own shadow most of the time, but I'm glad that we gave her this chance with Chris. She is a joy, and a love, and she deserves so much especially a chance to show how good she can be walking on a leash, and behaving while she's with other people and other animals. She did have it in her, and Chris was just able to find it in her, and bring it out. She walks so nicely and she's learning to make friends with people when she was scared of them before. She even has a young lady who comes 4 times a day to walk her for us, and our contractors are now able to come into the house without being afraid of her barking or jumping on them, and tonight is the first night she was able to sleep in her cubby. I am so proud of her. And I am so so very proud and thankful for Chris. I appreciate all the time he took with her and I was so scared that it wasn't going to stick, But it did. Thank you again, Chris, for all you done. You are truly a dog whisper. Thank you for helping her.

Wish I could give more stars. First what a stand up gentleman, great guy and his assistant is awesome. I had just the month of March 2024 had my Cane Corso/Great Dane pup take the 10 day basic course. What an amazing difference and not only did she learn, I learned as well as his one on one instruction the day of pickup was great and explained very well and made a ton of sense. I would recommend his service to anyone and trust him whole heartedly. This is the first place to go
