Kris did an amazing job helping us with our 1yo lab mix rescue - Max. Max had some behavioral issues due to his rough start in life. Kris gave us the tools we needed to help Max adjust to his new home. In just a few weeks we saw significant improvements, and had a new family member we could be proud of. Kris' method is a perfect balance of reward and correction. He spent time explaining the reasons for what he was doing, and made sure we were set up for success.

Having a 3-1/2 month old Mini Bernedoodle puppy (cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog and standard Poodle), I was looking for a trainer with 'heart', someone who could direct Murphy's gentle nature and teach him the basics within a 4-day travel window. Kris customized Murphy's training and was beyond my expectations in teaching him to leash walk, recall (come when called), spot placement (place), and respond to all the basic commands. He provided a loving, learning environment with reasoning for me to understand how simple commands such as sit, down and free can pave the way toward better behavior. Murphy loved Kris from day one and responded to his commands with ease. Beyond that, Kris taught me how to continue reinforcing what Murphy has learned. Having met with other trainers, I can say without question that Kris is the only trainer I would trust to handle my dog's training. I am from AZ and will fly up again with my dog Murphy in August for follow-up training with Kris. For now, I appreciate having a dog who knows the basics and whom I can continue to train, with Kris' guidance. He understands the nature of dogs, how they think, and is a fantastic trainer - the best! Thank you, Kris, for providing guidance to both Murphy and I that has led to a better mannered dog!

So many great things to say about Kris and his training! Most importantly though, he knows what he's doing, and it works if you work with your dog! Not only is your dog learning but you're learning as well. He's easy to talk to and great to work with. Our previous Rotti was an angel who we never struggled with. Walter, our new pup, was giving us a run for our money at only 6 months old. We called Kris and after only one session, we saw results. After completing his training, Walter is confident, respectful and loving. We can't thank Kris enough for helping Walter become the best version of himself! If you need help with your pup, Kris is your guy!
