Taylor Made Working Dogs

Couldn’t be a bigger fan of Kris and the team at Taylor Made. I had just lost a Gsd and i needed to make sure we had a dog with the right temperament and training. He made sure to match me with the right dog and the training he provided it was fantastic. He was patient with all of our questions, thorough with the training/education for my wife and I and he’s been extremely responsive every time I have a question. He genuinely cares about these dogs and it shows. Willie has integrated into our home seamlessly, we know he’ll be great with our future kids and we couldn’t be happier. Couldn’t be a bigger fan of the work they do, the quality of their dogs and the service they provide.

I meet Kris years ago via a mutual “dog” friend when I got my first dog from him. He’s very knowledgeable and actually cares about the right fit for the dog and family. In fact, we just got a second dog from him for my daughter. Again, he made sure it was a fit for both. I would highly recommend Kris. There’s no way you can go wrong. By no means am I a dog expert, however I’ve been around more than enough dog trainers and dogs to know good from bad. Kris is definitely one of the good ones, trust me.

Exceptional training, incredible results, and a team that truly cares. If you want a well-trained, happy dog and the knowledge to maintain it at home, Taylor Made Working Dogs is the best decision you can make. We adopted our Rottweiler puppy, Meli, 13 months ago, and Kris Taylor and the team at Taylor Made Working Dogs have been instrumental from day one. From the very beginning of the adoption process through raising a high-energy puppy, Kris was always available—often via text—whenever I had questions about behavior or needed guidance on how to encourage or correct something. We’ve done both puppy board-and-train and adult board-and-train programs, and the results speak for themselves. Our friends and family are constantly amazed that a 13-month-old Rottweiler can be this obedient, focused, and well trained. There’s no way we could have made it through the past year without Kris and his team. Meli also LOVES Taylor Made Raw dog food. She’s been on it since she was a puppy and has grown into a healthy, strong dog who genuinely gets excited for mealtime. On top of that, we board her at Taylor Made when we travel—and she is thrilled every time. Once she realizes where we’re going, she can’t wait to jump out of the car and be with Kris and the team. We’ve worked with other trainers in the past, and lesson learned. With Taylor Made, you don’t just get a better-trained dog—you learn how to work with your dog so they’re happier and truly thrive at home. If you’re considering board-and-train or need help correcting behaviors, this is absolutely the place to go. I only wish we had found Kris sooner. Go with Taylor Made Working Dogs—you won’t regret it!

I purchased my second German shepherd from Taylor Made, and he is a wonderful addition to our family. Healthy, mentally focused and stable (unlike my first shepherd!), and incredible drive. We also did basic obedience training with Taylor Made and also have frequently used their boarding service. Even though it is a far drive from home, it is a comfort during travel to know he is cared for in an environment that understands shepherd behavior. Highly recommend these dogs!
