We contacted Chris after adopting a black lab puppy Gracie from a rescue group. She was about 4 months old and we spent a wonderful training session with Chris. He worked with Gracie on basic commands and leash walking. He also gave us numerous tips on how to work with Gracie after he got to know her and answered all of our questions. He also watched us work with Gracie hands-on and provided feedback on proper commands, corrections, etc. Since then Gracie has been working with us per Chris' instructions and is doing great. We highly recommend Chris- we don't think you could find anyone better! Mark and Mary Ostrander, OH

I highly recommend The Dog Trainer!! I have 2 dogs, a pomeranian and a caton de tulear. We had lots of barking, territorial issues, and just not listening issues. We could not have visitors into our home and they would bark and bark until the visitor would leave. One of our dogs had such terrible anxiety that he actual bit a friend of ours. The Dog Trainer came into our lives and we could not be more pleased! We did the boarding and training option and received nice, polite, loving dogs back to us. It is so enjoyable to have the dogs around and we can have as many visitors as we want! No more barking and the dogs listen to my whole family including the children! My dog with anxiety actually has no more anxiety and is just a happy dog! We love The Dog Trainer as he is a miracle worker!!

My wife and I had a 1 year old German Shepherd with severe aggression issues with strangers coming in our house. Additionally, it was clear this big dog made the rules in our house. It got where we were at our breaking point. My wife was emotionally distraught and I started looking for a new home for this gorgeous animal. We decided in a last ditch attempt to let Chris at The Dog Trainer take him in for a 20 day in house training. Our dog returned completely different. Disciplined in every way. This dog is so amazing we blow people away by how good his behavior is and how well he responds to commands. Not only that, his personality has changed. He is just a happier dog and seems as though a weight is lifted from our dog's shoulders. We now have beautiful, smart, disciplined German Shepherd. Chris and Autumn know what they are doing. They saved our dog and gave us this amazing gift!!! I could not recommend them any more highly!!!
