Success stories from real clients.

"...especially his training of us. Charlie is a two year old pit bull mix who is extremely reactive and hyper vigilant to stimuli and triggers inside and outside our house. Chris's expertise in training dogs with behavioral issues has provided us the training tools necessary in dealing with Charlie's exhausting behavior so that we can provide Charlie with a good home and still enjoy our lives. Charlie loves his training time with Chris and constantly waits by the door for him. We highly recommend his services if you have a dog with challenging behaviors too."

"Mazie is a rescue dog and had a very rough start. When I adopted her she was malnourished, just had a litter and was afraid of any human contact. Even years later she is still highly reactive to anyone coming into the house, loud noises and anything on wheels. Our walks were very stressful because of those triggers. Chris has been very patient with the both of us and taught us strategies to get past those stressors. Thanks to his patience most of our walks have become enjoyable. I appreciate that Chris has not given up on us and even when she regresses he knows exactly how to help her through it. I highly recommend Chris as a trainer and feel so fortunate to have his continued help and expertise."

"When our daughter brought home a rescue from her college's local animal shelter, he came with a lot of fear built in — not from abuse, but from neglect and simple lack of exposure. He'd never really been around men — didn't like hoodies, cars, bikes, sudden movement, and little kids could send him into a panic. Walks were stressful for all of us. Chris changed that completely. He helped us acclimate our new dog to our home and our neighborhood — the cars, the noise, the dogs barking behind fences, little kids on bikes, all of it. He explains everything in plain English, is always available when we have questions, and his walk-alongs gave us the confidence to actually handle triggers in real time instead of just avoiding them. Our Heisman isn't 'perfect' — no dog is — but he's happy, healthy, and we both genuinely enjoy our walks now. We highly recommend him to anyone."

"Maci is the first reactive/anxious dog I've ever owned. I had no idea what I was in for. I met or worked with three other trainers before I met Chris. While some trainers were better than others, nobody comes close to Chris. Chris isn't just a great trainer he becomes an invaluable part of your team. He was the first trainer that seemed to be truly invested in not only helping Maci, but helping my family navigate this challenge. He cares and understands the way you hope a trainer would. He just gets it. Our Maci girl has made great strides since we started with Chris. While the work is never done, having Chris on our side gives my family the confidence and belief that our sweet pup can live the long happy life she deserves."

"Training a reactive dog can be very overwhelming but Chris has made it feel so much less stressful. He is SUCH a great teacher and has done an amazing job with me and my partner! Not only showing us what to do but explaining why we are doing it. He's patient, kind, and celebrates our small victories with us. We have already noticed such a big change with Cinnabun and I know that is because Chris is helping us build such a great foundation. So thankful we found you and would recommend you to anyone looking for a trainer that cares about you and your pup!"

"Chris is great! He has been walking our 2 year old Border Collie 1 1/2 years. He has taught her how to walk without chasing squirrels! No reaction to other dogs. She has a wonderful 30 minute walk three times a week. Chris is professional, kind and friendly. Thank you Chris!"

"We, my dog and I, have used Chris for a couple of years. At first my dog pulled and was very reactive on walks. Now he walks great and he is overall a much better dog. I continue using Chris for walks with my dog because I'm unable to. Chris has helped changed my dog's reactions and has helped me understand how to handle my dog's behaviors."

"Me, my partner, and our dog have loved our time with Chris! Cali has been working with Chris for a little over 1 year, and after 6 months we were able to correct over 6 years of ingrained reactive behavior. He has given us a new version of our pup, allowing us to take her out in public / crowded spaces while remaining below her reactivity threshold. We are now all able to remain relaxed while out and about, even in situations that would have been far too challenging just a year ago."
