Chris and his crew are terrific, supportive and did amazing work with our 5 yo Yorkiepoo Mr. Beasely.I rehome him from a sick friend in Florida and he came with a number of behavioral issues. He needed repeated corrections, nip at heels, dash out the door etc. Chris gave him the structure and training have made Beasely respond to commands, easy to walk him and have him off leash. He still has some road to cover but I would highly recommend Chris and his wonderful staff.
Posted on Googlesteven Pelczar6 November 2026Chris did amazing job with our husky, Lucky Before board and train not sure we could have kept this rescue dog Now completely off leash Very rarely use collar Highly recommendPosted on GoogleAbby Jeffers19 October 2026I cannot speak highly enough of Chris and his program. In our household we refer to him as “Jesus Chris” bc of how effective his training and work has been for our dogs. We first found Chris about 5 years ago when we desperately needed help with our new rescue’s behavior. He did wonders for our dog Oliver but also in training US in how to maintain the work with Oliver after training. My partner and I adopted a new dog this past May and knew we wanted Chris’s expertise in getting her trained as well. Our new pup, Chloe, was sweet and smart but was a flight risk and listened poorly, making us nervous to take her out and about with ease. After her stay with Chris we saw an immediate change in her demeanor and recall. He has been very responsive even after training when I needed a little guidance for a challenge Chloe and I were having with one of the commands. Chris was patient with us along the way as we learned the training protocols and how to use them effectively with both of our dogs. Chris’s sense of humor and hands on approach makes the process less intimidating and hopeful. Working with Chris for your dog is absolutely worth the investment. Now, my partner and I get comments all the time when we are out by surprised passers by with how well behaved our dogs are. But most importantly we can see the confidence and happiness our dogs have with the new skills they’ve obtained and mastered, and we also feel so much more confident and at ease. Thank you Jesus Chris! 🙏🏼
Posted on GoogleKatelyn Devereaux14 October 2026We couldn’t be happier with our experience with London and Chris! They were both absolutely amazing throughout Roux’s training stay. From the very beginning, they kept us updated with messages, photos, and videos, and were so great at communicating her progress along the way. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing how she was doing and seeing the progress she was making. After Roux came home, our continued training sessions with Chris were just as valuable. He helped us improve our own skills and really understand how to continue her training at home so Roux could have the best chance at long term success. They didn’t just train our dog they taught us how to better communicate with her and continue building on everything she learned. Roux is a true cattle dog with a LOT of energy, so finding someone who could help her learn obedience and structure that would fit into our everyday life was incredibly important to us. Especially with having a toddler and another baby on the way, we wanted to feel confident that we could manage her energy while still giving her the best life possible. We feel so much more confident with Roux now, and we know she is only going to continue getting better as we consistently use everything London and Chris taught us. One of the things that meant the most to us was how they reassured us that if we ever needed anything, we could reach out. And you can genuinely tell they mean it they truly care about their clients and the dogs they work with. We are beyond grateful for everything they have done for Roux and for our family. If you’re looking for trainers who genuinely care, communicate, and give you the tools to succeed, we couldn’t recommend London and Chris enough! 🐾❤️
Posted on GooglePaige Perricone13 October 2026Amazing experience with a truly gifted team who are willing to go above and beyond to train our notoriously stubborn dog. After much skepticism that our dog could be trained, I am happy we finally decided to get our dog trained, and even happier that we decided to work with Chris Park K-9. I’m so appreciative for the extra time the team took to ensure our dog made his milestones.
Posted on GoogleAlexander McCool9 October 2026Chris is an exceptional instructor who is unbelievably thorough in his process. He takes the time to explain not only the new commands, but also the reasoning behind each and why they are necessary. I would recommend Chris to any dog owner looking to properly train and understand their pet. Fantastic!Posted on GoogleMeeKyi Tung3 October 2026We absolutely love Chris Park K9 Training! Chris and London were amazing with our 1-year-old GSD, Sora. They were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and really took the time to understand each dog’s personality and needs. We’ve already seen such a huge improvement in Sora’s obedience, focus, and overall behavior. Chris also does a great job teaching us as owners how to continue the training at home. You can truly tell that Chris cares about the dogs he works with. We’re so happy we found him and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great trainer! 🐾❤️
Posted on GoogleMike Fantasia1 September 2026Brian was hands down the best choice we ever made for our dog Draco. The amount of knowledge and patience and love that he showed to our boy was everything we were looking for and needed. He really is the dog whisperer . Anybody who is looking for a dog trainer Brian is your guy and I will always recommend him to anyone I come across looking for a trainer. Thank you again for everything Brian your the man !Posted on GoogleBreanne Gilbert18 August 2026We had such a great experience with training our Cavapoo, our dog enjoyed his time during with Chris!Posted on GoogleGiuseppina Stifano4 August 2026We had a wonderful experience with Chris and his team! Luna, our Goldendoodle, is our first dog. She is very active, super sweet, and always gets excited. She weighs about 50 pounds, and with two young daughters in the home, it was very important for us that she learn not to jump on people or pull on the leash during walks. Chris and London did an amazing job not only training Luna, but also teaching us how to work with her and reinforce the training at home. They gave us the tools and confidence we needed to continue her progress after the program. I was very nervous about leaving Luna for two weeks, and I was also worried that she might come back less of her sweet, crazy, playful self. The team reassured me throughout the process and made everything so much easier. They regularly sent videos, responded quickly to my text messages, and kept us updated on Luna’s progress, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. The best part is that Luna’s training has lasted. The skills she learned are still with her today, and our walks and daily life with her are so much more enjoyable. She did not change her personality—she is still the same sweet, playful, energetic dog we love, just much better behaved and easier to manage. Thank you, Chris and the entire team, for your dedication, support, and excellent care of Luna. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable, caring, and effective dog trainers!Posted on GoogleMichael Keohan30 July 2026Chris and team worked with my 1.5 year old Boxer, Bodhi, who was very reactive and protective. After the 3.5 week board and train, Bodhi was significantly better around other dogs and receptive of all commands even in highly distracted scenarios. His leash pulling significantly declined and I now feel comfortable bringing him around others dogs. Most importantly, Chris continually emphasized to me how to handle Bodhi in high stress situations and stressed the importance of thinking like the dog. He helped me understand Bodhi's "body language" and how to handle him in specific scenarios to make him feel comfortable. I highly recommend Chris and team, specifically for dogs who are reactive "alphas."Posted on GoogleJulianne Girolamo23 July 2026Chris and his team are amazing. My 2 year old Shiloh Shepherd Rocco did the board and train for almost 3 weeks. He came back a new pup. His recall is outstanding now. The videos and texts throughout his stay really made things easier for my family, as my children missed him so much. I can’t thank Chris enough for helping and guiding us all.Posted on GoogleSam Owens20 July 2026Chris and his team were an incredible resource for training our 3 year old, easily excitable, and surprisingly aggressive dog. They worked very hard to emphasis the importance of us as owners remaining in control at all times. We have had Casper back now for a couple months and have seen a drastic improvement in his behavior and social skills. We feel fully equipped moving forward to handle our dog, and, if needed, Chris and his team are fully available to us as well going forward. We are very happy with our results and 100% recommend Chris and his team!
Posted on GoogleAmanda Hinchcliffe29 June 2026I brought my pitbull Boston to Chris and couldn’t be happier with the results. He is so well behaved while still enjoying being a puppy. I recommend Chris to anyone serious about having a well trained dog. My family recently grew with my newest pitbull puppy Petey and already booked his training with Chris for August . So worth every penny !Posted on GoogleLynnie Holland27 June 2026Chris is a life saver and has the patience of a saint ! He was so thorough and patient with not only my dog but me as well. Learning his proven techniques and seeing the results is truly amazing ! If you want a better relationship with your dog, and a controllable dog I can’t recommend him enough .Posted on Googlejohn ventilato22 June 2026The best place to board and train your dogs. Chris and his experienced staff worked their magic on our 2 JRT’s. The care and training they received was first class. Of course it was hard to leave them for 2+ weeks, but everyday we received progress videos that kept us connected and showed their progress and care. We will miss our daily connection with Chris, but no worries, we have him on speed dial🙂.Posted on GoogleClara McComb21 June 2026Chris and his team were great with Lottie and great with teaching me how to communicate with my dog! With their training, her reactivity has greatly improved which just allows her sweet nature to shine through! I look forward to all the great adventures that have opened up for both of us! Thanks again 🥰
Posted on GoogleBrianna Colon20 June 2026I decided to put my 8 month old Goldendoodle in the board and train program with Chris after my other dog had a very positive experience with him and is a very good and obedient dog now. Before, Sage was always pulling on the leash and did not have basic obedient skills. After Chris she is more obedient and is definitely better on the leash. I definitely recommend Chris to everyone!
Posted on GoogleTim Stewart18 June 2026Chris and his team are amazing! We were referred by a family member who also used Chris Park K9 boarding program after I witnessed how well their dog listened and behaved off leash. I am very glad Our Golden Retriever pup Rosie (as well as my wife and I 🙂) went through the training program. We highly recommend Chris Park K9.
Posted on GoogleLuann Wellman17 June 2026I highly recommend Chris Park K9 Dog Training. My overactive ADHD German Shepherd was a real challenge—she pulled on the leash and tried to chase every rabbit and dog in sight. I had just moved to the area and couldn’t even meet neighbors because her energy looked so aggressive that people kept walking. After working with Chris and his staff, everything has changed. My dog now walks calmly beside me, comes when called, and responds to basic commands like sit and lay down. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly with both dogs and owners. I’m so grateful for the transformation they helped us achieve.
Posted on GoogleMatt Steenbergen16 June 2026Chris Park is one of the most passionate and responsible people I have met when it comes to dogs. I called him based on his Google Reviews in the area for help with controlling my German Shepherds obedience, reactivity and anxiety. She did the 3 week boarding program and I got updates nearly every day. By the end of her board training she was still the same dog just much more confident and relaxed. The next part of the training (and most important) was my training. Chris has spent the last few weeks training me on the commands he taught my dog and how to trust my dog. I knew Chris was the right choice when I noticed in my training how much he emphasized following his directions 100% of the time. This showed he wants the best for the dogs he works with and for them to live a more confident and relaxed life. Chris has been fun to work with these last couple months and my relationship with my dog has never been so great!
Posted on GoogleAndre M.13 June 2026We put two of our puppies through training at the same time, and they are not easy breeds to handle. We have a Turkish Kangal Shepherd and a Presa Canario, and Chris and his staff got the job done. Both dogs came back much easier to manage. We can now walk them off leash with no issues. Our Presa was starting to become reactive, and now he is much more manageable for us. Chris and his team clearly know what they’re doing, especially with strong, difficult breeds. Highly recommend.
Posted on GoogleBenjamin Billings31 May 2026Chris and his team have helped so much with our dog Remy! We rescued her about 3 years ago from an abusive situation and soon after settling her in realized she was very reactive toward people and dogs and territorial of our apartment building. We previously tried multiple positive only dog trainers (with no real results) and a veterinary behaviorist (who told us she was inbred and to avoid basically unavoidable situations) we didn't know what else to do. After lunging at and almost biting our neighbor despite being on a short leash we knew we HAD to try something else. Thankfully we found Chris online and after boarding Remy for 3 weeks the results were tremendous. With the e-collar and shared simple command language, we finally are able to communicate effectively with Remy and her behavior has drastically improved, and we know it isn't hurting her at all on such low settings. She is just as sweet and happy as ever but is also more calm, confident, and responsive to us on the leash and off! She is not perfect and will need ongoing training but that is what was expected and we are so happy with our results. I would highly recommend Chris Park for anyone struggling with reactive or anxious dog who feel like they are stuck where they are.
Posted on GoogleJ31 May 2026Chris does an excellent job. We are very happy with the results of the training for our golden retriever puppy.Posted on GoogleMark Eid25 May 2026We cannot recommend Chris Park K9 enough. Working with Chris completely transformed our confidence in handling our 95 lb, 2-year-old German Shepherd, Blaze. Before training, walks and off-leash situations could feel stressful and unpredictable. After completing obedience and off-leash training with Chris, Blaze is more focused, responsive, and confident — and so are we. Chris has an incredible ability to understand both the dog and the owner. His training style is professional, patient, and extremely effective. The off-leash training in particular has been life-changing for us. We now feel comfortable taking Blaze on hikes, walks, and outings knowing he will reliably listen and respond. What really sets Chris apart is that he truly stands by his work and continues to support his clients long after the formal training is complete. He routinely checks in with us and offers refreshers to help ensure Blaze stays obedient and consistent. That ongoing support has made a huge difference and shows how much he genuinely cares about the long-term success of both the dog and the family. An added perk is the boarding service he offers to all past training clients. Being able to leave your pet with such capable caretakers, gives us peace of mind during short and long trips alike. There is no just keeping your dog locked in the kennel all day, they are part of the pack and continue to work on training during the boarding time. Beyond the results, Chris took the time to teach us how to communicate clearly with Blaze and maintain consistency at home. If you are looking for obedience training, behavior work, or off-leash reliability — especially for a large, strong working breed like a German Shepherd — Chris Park K9 is absolutely worth it. Thank you, Chris and your entire team for giving us a whole new level of trust and freedom with Blaze!Posted on GoogleM. Martinez22 May 2026Our 7.2-lbs Cavapoo graduated today, after successfully completing Chris Parkiotis’s program—aka Chris Park K9 Dog Training. I’d like to say Chris did an outstanding job training our puppy, but I think it was my husband and me who learned the most! Chris is strict, stern, and extraordinarily disciplined in his approach. He understands dogs. And they respond to him like no other. He is also wildly good humored, which makes for some funny moments when the dog performs but the humans do not. (Like I said, he was training us, too!) I would recommend Chris without hesitation—feel lucky we found him and that we were able to benefit from his undeniable expertise.
Posted on GoogleHannah Hancock3 May 2026Chris did an amazing job training our pointer diesel! Would recommend to anyone needing a trainer for their 4 legged companion
Posted on GoogleIzhar Sharon21 April 2026Chris was introduced to us as a dog trainer that can handle anything throws at him. He did not disappoint. He knows his dogs and more importantly he knows how to educate and train the dog owners. I have waited 4 months to write the review in order to verify Chris’s training works. It most definitely does. The dog is obedient, remembers everything he was taught and a changed person.Posted on GoogleJacquelyn Gordon29 March 2026Chris Park K9 Training is the best! My puppy spent almost three weeks with trainer Kristina for the board-and-train program, and I can’t believe the difference in him. He’s still the same playful, happy puppy, but he listens so much better and is much more focused. He follows my commands and now has the freedom to be off leash, which has been amazing. I was sad and nervous sending my boy away to an unfamiliar place, but I felt hopeful after reading so many positive reviews. Chris kept me updated throughout the entire process and sent pictures and videos, which meant so much. I loved seeing him socialize with other dogs and watching his progress. The follow-up sessions were also great. Chris took the time to show us how to maintain everything he learned and set us up for success at home. I’m so grateful to Chris, Kristina, and the entire team for taking such amazing care of my puppy. I highly recommend them to anyone thinking about a training program!
Posted on GooglePhoebe Barnett13 March 2026Chris did such an amazing job with my Aussiedoodle, Baker. Baker was a dog who was afraid of people and other dogs. He would lung, bark, not be accepting to being around new people or dogs. I thought he was reactive and aggressive but from Chris’ professional perspective he taught me that he was acting out of fear rather than aggression. After 4 weeks, Baker is a changed dog. Baker is extremely obedient on and off the leash. He is open and accepting of new people and dogs. I am able to bring him in crowded public places (that allow dogs) and he does AMAZING. Before he experienced his training with Chris, we were unsure of how to help him or didn’t have the smallest bit of control over him which was stressful and overwhelming at times. Now he is the “perfect” dog and we are so proud of him. Chris walked me through every command and expectation before I brought him home and that made all the difference. He explained the why behind each command and how they will help me and my dog be on the same page. While 4 weeks was a long time for him to be away it was worth every minute & dollar. Additionally, Chris is available even after the training is complete. He sets up times to do follow up training practice and it is so helpful. Our lives have changed for the better having a dog who respects, tolerates, and enjoys the training he received and continues to put the practice in use throughout our everyday routine and lifestyle.
Posted on GoogleRuth Flores2 March 2026We had an incredible experience with Chris at Chris Park K9 Services. He trained all three of our dogs — ranging from 6 months to 9 years old — in obedience and off-leash work, and the results have been amazing. Before training, the idea of walking all three dogs off leash felt impossible. Now, we confidently go on off-leash walks with reliable recall, and it has completely changed our daily life. Their obedience, responsiveness, and overall behavior have improved tremendously. What really sets Chris apart is his continued support. He is always available if we need guidance, have questions about new behaviors, or need help with corrections. Knowing we can reach out at any time gives us so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely invested dog trainer, I highly recommend Chris Park K9 Services. We are beyond grateful for everything he’s done for our dogs and for us.
Posted on GoogleAmanda George25 February 2026We sought out Chris’ help after trying and failing with a different type of training program for our “foster fail” rescue pup, Charley who had become suddenly reactive to other dogs. Prior to committing to the training we met with Chris who talked us through his training regimen, regaled us with success stories and answered our many questions. We left that meeting with one very important thing: Hope. Fast forward a few months and Charley went to Chris the weekend before Christmas; which coincided with our family trip to Florida to visit the grandparents. The whole family anxiously awaited texts and videos of Charley with updates and progress, which Chris did provide. When we arrived to finally pick up our girl after three long weeks we were thrilled she was excited to see us, but had also formed a bond with Chris. After four follow-up visits with Chris in “the real world” Charley, as well as us, finally graduated! These follow-ups were crucial to ask Chris questions in real-time and truly understand the training methods that Charley had worked on with him. Is our dog perfect now? Of course not, Chris is good … but he isn’t a miracle worker. And no dog is truly perfect, of course. But this training was exactly what our stubborn and strong-willed dog needed. She learned basic commands we wouldn’t had otherwise instituted that literally make our lives easier and less anxiety provoking. Chris also gave us the tools to combat her reactivity, should it arise in the future. He makes himself available for any questions or concerns that may come up, even long after the official training has commenced. We are so happy we decided on this choice for Charley and our family.
Posted on GoogleGrace Pimental21 February 2026Chris did an incredible job working with Denali and Everest! They’re still the same fun, crazy girls we love, but now they’re trained to listen and respond to us. We can let them just be dogs while feeling confident that they’ll follow our lead. Thank you so much, Chris!
Posted on GoogleEric Merrill9 February 2026We just completed the 1:1 training. When our puppy started pulling us on walks, we knew we had to do something. Chris gave us 2 options and we decided to do the 1 on 1 training, which requires us to work with the dog a few times a day to get the commands down. Chris trained our dog and showed us how to, told us what to work on and how frequently. He presented all the information really well and his training methods are professional and direct. He cares about your relationship with your dog and wants both dog and owner to succeed. I highly recommend Chris and his team.
Posted on GoogleFaith Courtney8 February 2026I started doing one on one training sessions with Chris for a month. I came in one day after being sick and my spouse overseas for work and started telling him jokingly to take her because I’m exhausted and then broke down (ugly crying). Once my spouse returned home we met with Chris and decided the best choice for our Doberman was to give her to a top tier expert Chris. She came back a better version of herself, night and day difference because of Chris’s expertise, attention to detail along with love and patience. Khaleesi is living her best life ❤️!
Posted on GoogleNeela Kaushik5 February 2026We had a wonderful experience working with Chris and his team! When I was deciding whether to enroll my dog, Chris spoke with me at length on the phone to explain the process and establish expectations. The boarding went great and I received regular updates. I was a little worried about coming back to a dog with a changed personality, but that wasn't the case at all. Dyno is still a happy and goofy pup, but I could see when Chris interacted with him, how he commanded the dog's attention and respect. In our follow-up sessions, Chris showed me exactly how to practice the training methods so that I could also start having that kind of relationship with my dog. The improvement in Dyno's attention and recall has been tremendous- I was so impressed with him at his graduation! There are still areas for us to work on but I have more confidence and trust to let him enjoy freedom more, which has definitely improved the quality of our outings together. Most importantly, I feel equipped with the tools and knowledge to continue the training process and keep strengthening our relationship. In summary: if you are looking for a dog trainer (especially one close to the Boston area), I would 100% recommended Chris!
Posted on GoogleSally Kriebel3 February 2026Our dog, Rosie, very much enjoyed being with Chris and London. They trained her, and us; we cannot be more pleased and grateful. The follow up sessions really added to our knowledge and boosted our confidence. We give CrisPark k9 Dog Training thousands of gold stars.
Posted on Googlemike whalen3 February 2026Chris is the very best at what he does!! I want to start by saying my dog absolutely LOVES Chris and London. One of the biggest concerns I had when looking for a trainer was "is that person going to treat my dog right" When he was dropped off to us he was super happy and wagging his tail and was so good with London. When we went to our follow ups with Chris, he ran right up to him wagging his tail, genuinely happy to seem him and vice versa. Such a relief knowing he was in such good hands during the few weeks he was away. My 5 month labradoodle is so unbelievably trained that the constant comments and small from shocked and wide eyes dog owners are getting annoying. "he's only 5 months?!?" is the most common comment. George hasn't been on a leash in 4 weeks and I regularly walk him around Boston, job sites and around my neighborhood where I live. He is completely on command and is only getting smarter and smarter with our nightly walks. I am so grateful I chose the right trainer....run don't walk to sign up for Chris' board and train and enjoy the best dog in the neighborhood for a longtime to come. Everybody wants that dog that's chill and listens and Chris will provide that REVIEW #2!!!!! Don't walk but run to Chris Park! Chris trined my first dog and the results were simply unbelievable. We get compliments every single day about how well trained our dogs are and its thanks to Chris and his team. I wasn't sure if my first dog was just insanely smart out not because the training worked so good, but after I sent my newest pup to him, I know that its the training. Both of my dogs absolutely love chris and rub to him every time they see him. Couldn't recommend him any more!Posted on GoogleMike Reedy3 February 2026Chris and his team are outstanding. He took amazing care of our dogs and the follow-ups were beyond helpful. We now have 2 dogs that are confident and can be trusted off leash with full control. You won't be sorry - the only place we will go.
Posted on GoogleJohn McCool27 January 2026Chris Park K9 is absolutely outstanding. From the very first meeting, Chris demonstrated deep expertise, patience, and a true understanding of both dogs and owners. His training approach is structured, clear, and incredibly effective — but what really sets him apart is how well he teaches the owners along with the dogs. Our golden retriever stayed with Chris for two and a half weeks. When she returned to us there were remarkable improvements with her behavior. Chris explained to us the “why” behind each technique that he applies. Beyond the results, Chris is professional, reliable, and genuinely cares about the success of each dog and family he works with. If you’re looking for a trainer who delivers real results and builds confidence in both you and your dog, we can’t recommend Chris Park K9 highly enough.
Posted on GoogleKait Tenters25 January 2026Chris is a natural with identify dog behavior. We had a very unique and urgen scenario and he was willing to immediately help with a family member’s dog. He advised virtually and gave us confidence in handling an uncomfortable situation with a German Shepard. Everything worked out, family is happy and the dog is happy! Thank you Chris, you are truly a blessing.Posted on GoogleJohn paul Sayah24 January 2026Chris and team are the absolute best. Maurice and I did a full 180 with Chris’s training. Thank you Chris and Landon!Posted on GoogleLena Karp15 January 2026Our dog Hank had an amazing time with Chris Park! Chris Park’s training is superior. He is dedicated to ensuring both you and your dog are well trained together. The 1:1 sessions were truly so helpful for us to ensuring we were giving proper commands and preparing our pup Hank for his graduation to be fully off leash trained and beyond. Every time we had a 1:1 session, Hank would run as fast as he could into Chris’s arms! He treats every dog with such love and care while away from home. We are so thankful for Chris’s time and commitment to our dog and us. He is extremely flexible with meeting times and we could not recommend him enough! Thanks again for everything, Chris!
Posted on Googleshauna cronin13 January 2026I’m 82 years old and I would not have been able to keep my husky if it wasn’t for Chris. I am so astounded with the transformation of my dog’s behavior after training for 2.5 weeks with follow up visits to ensure that the training lasts outside of the training location.
Posted on GoogleJannice Gründer11 January 2026Chris is the only one who got my boy to stop biting my dad and I. Other trainers kept telling me redirect etc and it was just making it worse. It got to the point bonding between us had stalled because all he would do was bite. Chris and London saved us! Maximus and my bond is now impenetrable. Things like snuggles are occurring often which didn’t happen since he was 3 months old. He loves being between my legs whereas before he would do the safety command but he would be scared between my legs now it’s his favorite spot. I’m able to watch movies with him. Take longer walks with him. Go on adventures with him. Take him to pet friendly stores. We can now continue to more advanced training classes like agility . He made me become a confident handler and now I don’t have to read 50 million training manuals or pay for 1:1 sessions . And I don’t feel like a failure anymore. Everyone has seen the difference in him. I’m so proud and grateful. He truly cares for his clients. He taught me for two months after doing board and train. And he sent us videos and photos during board and train. If you feel like a failure and nowhere to turn to and tired of all the different trainers voices, trust me he is the one to go to.
Posted on GoogleMaureen O'Connor7 January 2026I couldn't have expected any better of an experience working with Chris and his crew. At drop off when I was already starting to miss my girl, Sasha, Chris spent the extra time to talk to me and ease my worries :) The communication and the photos that were sent to me throughout training were awesome. The videos especially were something that I looked forward to. I got to see Sasha playing with others dogs, training or working with London or Chris. No matter which.... always a good time. Great people, great philosophy, great facility, great results, great choice! Hands down!! It's such a good feeling when you go back to see your trainer and your dog gets so excited that she can't wait to get out of the car. Training with Chris and crew was definitely the right decision.
Posted on GoogleMohammad Khan30 December 2025I was extremely hesitant to start dog training because I do not agree with e-collar training. As first-time dog parents who had just adopted a 4.5-year-old Goldendoodle, we truly did not know what to expect. My biggest fear was that training would change who our dog was or make him fearful, and that was something I was not willing to compromise on. Before committing, I spent 30 to 40 minutes on the phone with Chris. He was patient, transparent, and thorough in answering all of my questions. While I appreciated his approach, I will admit that I was still unsure. My husband felt strongly about moving forward, and when we met Chris in person, he again took the time to walk us through the process in detail and address my concerns. Throughout the training, Chris regularly shared videos of our dog’s progress along with thoughtful commentary, which helped ease my anxiety and build trust in the process. London, who worked directly with our dog, was absolutely fantastic and clearly cared deeply about both the dogs and the outcomes. When we picked our dog up after training, the results were remarkable. He was truly a better version of himself. Not only did we notice the positive changes, but friends and family did as well. He was not fearful, shut down, or different in personality. He was confident, happy, and still very much himself. Most importantly, our bond improved and we genuinely enjoy each other more now. After our dog graduated, Chris continued to support us by meeting once a week for three weeks to walk us through the training and ensure we felt confident continuing at home. By the end of the process, I told Chris how apprehensive I had been at the start and how genuinely glad I was that we trusted him and his team. I would 100 percent recommend Chris and his team. Even if you are skeptical or nervous like I was, they are professional, transparent, and truly care about the dogs and their families.
Posted on GoogleTiana Jenkins21 December 2025I did a lot of research before deciding on what would be the perfect fit for my female American Akita; I have to say, working with Chris and London was the best fit for Luna and I. As Luna started growing up, she started testing her "abilities" more and more. I was having a very hard time with controlling her barking, basic commands (she would do as she wanted in the classic Akita way), and her reactiveness. Now, she was/is not aggressive in the slightest but she would try to pull me to whatever she wanted to go see. She would sometimes listen for a treat but that was not sustainable. I wanted more for Luna and I. After having the initial meeting with Chris, I knew sending Luna to him for boarding and training would be our best option. It was really hard to send my girl away for two-ish weeks but London and Chris would send me updates, pictures, and videos of my girl to assure me everything was going very well. In the process of our follow up visits/training, I tore my ACL and ended up having knee surgery which put a pause on everything for around 6-7 months. I had to have help from others who did not know Luna's training. Throughout this time, I could tell Luna started to test my boundaries more again as I could not keep up with the level of training we had until I could start walking again. Luckily, Chris was very patient and understood the circumstances and was very willing to continue our training. After just the first follow up meeting after all of this time, Chris refreshed not only Luna's memory on what to do but also mine. She has now graduated his program!! Chris' willingness and responsiveness to help us again through this time is forever appreciated!
Posted on Googlesamantha trombly16 December 2025Would definitely recommend Chris!! Kaiser loved him, and we loved working with him. We bonded more with Kaiser, learned a ton about training, and our communication—especially off-leash and in real-life scenarios—improved so much. Highly recommend!Posted on GoogleArianna Jesi25 November 2025Chris and London are outstanding! Their dedication to understanding and training not only these dogs but their owners is amazing. Our 200lb Saint Bernard, Moose went through the board and train program and we have seen such great improvement in his behavior and obedience. Moose would get nervous and protective of his family around new people, but thanks to Chris and his team we can have people over our house again. Moose has been such a good boy! Forever thankful to have found Chris and London
Posted on GoogleTyler Mathews25 November 2025We had an incredible experience working with Chris Park to train our Saint Bernard, Moose. From day one, Chris was patient, knowledgeable, and truly understood how to communicate with Moose. He went stubborn and nervous to confident and well mannered. Chris tailored every session to Moose’s personality and made sure we were comfortable continuing the training at home. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and takes pride in helping dogs reach their potential. If you’re looking for a trainer who combines professionalism, results, and heart, Chris Park is the one to call. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!Posted on GoogleMona14 November 2025We had an excellent experience with Chris and his team. Our 3 year-old miniature wirehair dachshund lacked basic obedience skills and barked at every other animal he saw or heard, even those on television. We tried multiple training classes with only minimal success. After three weeks with Chris and Christina, our dog is transformed. Chris provided us with regular video updates along the way and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome.
Posted on GoogleJillianne Liotta12 November 2025I highly recommend Chris and his team. I did a ton of research looking for the right place to take my rescue who struggled with reactivity. Chris has immense knowledge and I particularly loved that he treats each dog individually based on their needs and behavior. He is highly communicative and while Fitz was at the board & train program, I received frequent updates on his progress. The training has helped us immensely in how he responds to other dogs & people in our neighborhood - it’s made my life far less stressful. Thanks again!Posted on Googleadam darisse12 November 2025A true master of his craft. Chris is the best. I’ve used him for all of my dogs. He’s turned difficult dogs for me into obedient and loving gentle babies. I refer many people to him and would always be a reference for potential clients to speak to. Me and my family would never use anyone else for our dogs.Posted on GoogleDavid Gleich3 November 2025The training with Chris was a game changer for Pancho and our family. Pancho is still a happy, crazy, and fun dog, but now he listens when we need him to. I couldn’t recommend Chris and his team more.Posted on GoogleCorin Angelini29 October 2025- [ ] Chris and London were amazing dog trainers to work with. After training most our dogs on our own we had our first “problem puppy” that that needed professional help and I’m grateful we found Chris Park K9 training. Chris and London helped resolve the obedience and dominance issues we were having with our puppy and the socialization they provided with other dogs helped Romeo learn how to respect other dogs and interact appropriately. We are still working with Chris to handle fear aggression since it is not something Romeo can overcome overnight and is situational but they have given us tools and guidance to help better handle these stressful situations for our puppy. We loved the daily pictures and videos while Romeo was boarding to reassure us our big baby was doing just fine. We have already boarded our dog with Chris while we were away and knowing how well he was cared for in training we were completely at ease knowing he would be in great hands again and the only place we will send him to in the future.
Posted on GoogleMike Doyle15 October 2025We rescued a brother /sister pair of 6 month old Pit Lab mixed pups out of Maine. They had been in a accident with their owner . They had little socialization with other dogs or people and little discipline. A friend recommended Chris and his team to us . We dropped them off at 1030 am . By 1145 Chris had sent us videos of them playing with other dogs in his care . When we picked them up they were totally different, for the better , dogs . After a couple of follow up visits , to make sure we knew what they had learned, we all graduated. I tried to include photos Chris had sent us but was not successful. We would absolutely recommend Chris and his team to others that want their dogs trained . We may have graduated but Chris is available for questions and further assistance if needed .Posted on GoogleValerie G7 October 2025I'd recommend Chris a hundred times over. It was worth every minute and every penny. He was incredibly caring, made sure to address all the issues I was having and made himself available at all times for questions and assistance. Thank you very much!Posted on GoogleMelinda Constantino30 September 2025Chris Park k9 did a great job with our bernedoodle pup. He had just turned 1 and started guarding random things. A plant outside, socks in the house Our puppy training wasn’t effective in changing this behavior. We reached out to Chris and his team. Tucker went for 2.5 weeks of board and train which has been a blessing. He is responsive to commands and when he ignores there is a consequence. He is actually stopping and thinking instead of reacting. We highly recommend this team and plan to board Tucker when we travel.
Posted on GoogleJulianne Teichert30 September 2025We could not be more happy with Chris, his team, and training program! Our 3yo Golden, Sox, constantly pulled, was leash aggressive, and barked at anything with a pulse. After 2.5 weeks with Chris and his team, he was a different dog but the same quirky personality! We especially loved the follow up appointments after Sox came home, ensuring we are trained, just like Sox. We also loved getting updates while Sox was with them, showing us what he was learning so we could prepare for him coming back. While we have officially graduated, Chris reminds us that we can always text or call with questions, a testament to his commitment to ensure you and your dog succeed! We cannot recommend Chris, London, and the entire team enough and highly recommend them for dog training!
Posted on GoogleCorey Mosher19 September 2025Our 11 month old GS Runa, went to see Chris and his team anxious, constantly whining and chewing things. It was next to impossible to walk her on a leash, between her pulling, and barking constantly at other dogs, showing teeth and raising all the hair on her body, she made it very difficult. She stayed with Chris and his team for about two weeks and came home a different dog! The commands and socializing with other dogs they taught her have made such an incredible difference! While she is still learning, we learned how to help her and how to reinforce all the Chris and Londen taught her. The after care and follow up visits were truthfully the best part of this program! While I think Chris scolded me more for my bad behavior, it was so worth learning how to help my girl in the best way possible! We thank you both for all the time and care you out into our girl!Posted on GoogleNikola Verrette27 August 2025Looking for an amazing trainer? Chris and his team are the ones for the job, hands down. I have a 5 year old European Doberman named Zeus! My absolute pride and joy! I brought Zeus to Chris when he was a year old, put him through obedience 1 and 2 and off leash trained! This has extended the life experiences Zeus gets to have, all while taking so much pressure off of me where I can now just spend time with my little dude! Chris has not only been there for zeus’s training, but boarding when I have to go on trips, making house calls to work with him on new situations, always one call away and gives me and Zeus his undivided attention to make sure we have the best possible outcome! As much as people say a trainer only helps the dog, Chris helped ME as well and I couldn’t be more grateful. I recommend if you want your fur-child treated like FAMILY, cared for like their CHILD and have the best results you can find. No doubt about it, Chris and his team are the ones for you! (Picture of my baby boy living his best life 🤩)
Posted on GoogleHaley Budge13 August 2025Chris and his team did an amazing job with our dog (and us!) They provided us with a great foundation to continue building his skills and obedience. Our dog wasn’t super comfortable with strangers before starting his training and within a couple of days he fully trusted the team at Chris Park K9! I highly recommend their services! Just be prepared that the training of the humans is the most important part of the process!
Posted on GoogleJessica Blagojevich12 August 2025Absolutely best decision we made for our puppy. We got Cato in November of last year and struggled with obedience training. We tried other places and online classes - but nothing worked - he felt like he owned the house and us! After reading the testimonials online and friend’s recommendations, we decided to send him to Chris and his team. We were sad to see Cato leave us, but after less than two weeks, he came home a different dog. He is still a puppy and has that puppy energy - but he is manageable! We now enjoy our time outdoors on walks, at different places, and anywhere we can with Cato. Before he got trained by Chris, I dreaded taking Cato to a park. I didn’t even want people to come over to the house because he was too hard to control. And Cato would play too rough with my kids. Not anymore. We can’t thank Chris and his team enough. Total game changer and really, life changer.
Posted on GoogleKerri Foley28 July 2025Blown away by Chris Park and his team! We sent our 5 month old Cane Corso to boarding training with Chris a few months ago for obedience training. Although it was an incredible hard decision to send our baby away, Chris ensured constant contact and updates throughout his stay. He was so happy there and also had the opportunity to socialize daily with other dogs - huge bonus! Bodie is now 7 months and is off leash. We live in the city and our yard is not completely fenced in. Since he came home, we have no worries about Bodie playing in the yard and his recall is nearly instant. If you considering sending your pup to Chris - do not hesitate! I promise you will not regret it! Chris and team, We cannot thank you enough for all you have done for our family and for Bodie! He is thriving!
Posted on GoogleNikki V9 July 2025Chris Park K9 completely changed the game for us and our Dalmatian, Patches. After a less-than-stellar experience with another trainer, we were discouraged and unsure if we’d ever find the right fit. But from our very first session with Chris, everything felt different—in the best possible way. Chris’s approach is thoughtful, intuitive, and effective. He took the time to understand Patches’ personality and tailor the training accordingly. The transformation has been amazing—Patches is more obedient, confident, and genuinely happy. We’re not just impressed; we’re relieved and grateful. If you’re searching for a trainer who listens, adapts, and delivers results with heart, Chris Park K9 is the one.
Posted on GoogleDavid Cohen1 July 2025Chris is amazing. He transformed and drastically improved my experience with my dog in a very short time. Realistically, he trained me to be a better owner for my dog, resulting in clear expectations and results from my dog, who learned to lovingly obey my commands. Now my dog enjoys off-leash freedom, and I can trust him to do what he is told.Posted on GoogleSteven Fritz27 June 2025Best in the business!!!Posted on GoogleSheila Burglund26 June 2025I highly recommend Chris Park k9 Dog Training. We had tried other training programs/trainers that gave us a foundation, but they did not compare to the level of training Chris and his team have given to us and our crazy pup. His experience and reviews are what made us trust him, and we're here to say his method really works. He has a way with dogs, and an energy he brings... he speaks their language. Yes, it's expensive, and I was nervous to leave our pup in someone else's care for a couple of weeks, but it was all worth it. Our pup is still a super happy girl, and now understands what we expect/need from her, because we know how to communicate with her more effectively. The concerns we had before training are gone, and we've all gained such a better quality of life together. Thanks Chris!Posted on Googlebrandon amodeo25 June 2025This was by far the most incredible experience I have ever had. My wife and I trusted Chris and his team with our Belgian Malinois Zeus. The amount of care, and support we got from them has been amazing. We sent Zeus to training for a couple weeks and when he returned we were shocked at how well behaved he is. Chris and his team are hands down the best team to work with. I highly recommend reaching out to them for any of your needs when it comes to your dog!!
Posted on GoogleRandy Robitaille21 June 2025I cannot express how grateful we are to have found Chris Park K9 dog training in Salem, NH! Chris is a phenomenal dog trainer, and we consider ourselves blessed to have access to his expertise. He has successfully trained both of our dogs: Blaze, our toy Aussie, and Xena, our 8-month-old Rottweiler. Despite their vastly different temperaments, Chris demonstrated exceptional skills with all breeds. Xena returned home not as a different dog, but as the best version of herself—truly amazing! We faced some tension between Blaze and Xena after her arrival, but Chris stepped in and worked tirelessly to resolve their issues. His dedication and passion for helping dogs and their owners shine through in every interaction. Thank you, Chris and London, for being the best trainers around! We can’t recommend Chris Park K9 enough!
Posted on GoogleEliza Bigelow16 June 2025Chris and his team saved us and our sanity. We brought our 10 month old German Shepherd after a not so successful try with another trainer. Our puppy’s listening and obedience has improved significantly and we cannot recommend Chris enough.
Posted on GoogleJune Hee HAN10 June 2025Awesome training experience. Must stick to program after. Dog loves Chris and his team. Still the same dog I love who is now warehouse environment ready.
Posted on GoogleColin Murphy10 June 2025Chris and London were excellent with Poa, our 8 month old Bernese Mountain Dog that needed help on and off leash. They did amazing work and showed so much love to her along the way! We are very comfortable with Poa off leash now and very comfortable on leash too. Training is, the owners, with the commands & e-collar took some practice but they were great coaches. Poa was very much herself when she returned from training but knew her commands! Would highly recommend.
Posted on GoogleChristine Coughlin5 June 2025I probably just needed a hug, but I got a German Shepherd Dog instead…. We brought Chilli home when she was 8 weeks old and knew right away that we wanted a well behaved dog. We also have 2 young children so an obedient dog is a must for safety. Chris Park had the best reviews. Like, who has all 5 star reviews? Could this be real? Without mentioning my research on him, he was recommended by 2 colleagues of mine as I was wallowing to them about my puppyhood misery. Chilli is a wild and crazy and happy GSD puppy. She was biting a lot. We couldn’t even pet her, she’d get so excited and start to bite us. My sons were scared of her and avoided her like the plague. Not at all what I pictured. We did some basic obedience and socialization but clearly we were missing the mark and messing something up. So I gave him a call. We scheduled her drop off for when she turned 5 months for board and train. At first I felt a little nervous then I got my first update video and realized my dog was in her happily ever after era. I loved that the first video I got was of London (one of Chris’ trainers) playing with her, getting to know her before they started their work. My family and I loved getting video updates! She did board and train for almost 3 weeks. Chris said they don’t want to push the puppies too hard because they’re young. I like that they don’t just have a single plan and time frame but they really work with your dog, where they are and figure out what they need. We picked up the same wild and crazy and happy GSD puppy except trained. We could finally pet her, she responds to commands and corrections much faster. And my sons could play with their dog! At pick up, they give you a lesson and instructions and then you book follow up sessions. Chris makes sure his work is complete after drop off. He first trains your dog and then you! (Let’s face it, training dogs are probably the easy part) Follow up sessions were so great, and helpful. Chilli keeps progressing everyday! She’s still only 6 months old, but we’ve been on off leash hikes and walks (ignoring bunnies, squirrels, dogs and even the dreaded high pitched “a puppy?!?). She’s officially graduated from Chris Park K9 but Chris still checks in to see if I need anything (knowing full well she’s a wild and crazy and happy puppy). Another reason we did board and train is my husband and I work, have 2 kids and busy schedules. This totally sped up and accelerated the training process and we bought good quality time with our dog. So if this is 300th 5 star review you’ve read, just call him and book it!Posted on GoogleJoe Iannelli5 June 2025We are thrilled to have worked with Chris and his team! From the very first session with Milo after training, we could immediately see the difference. He was focused, responsive, and just so much more in tune with us. It honestly blew us away. Chris and his team clearly put in the work and built a solid foundation. Everything just clicked, and it felt amazing to have that kind of connection with our dog. Milo seems happier and more confident, too, which makes the whole experience even better. Our whole family is so grateful. It’s such a great feeling knowing your dog will listen to you and enjoy it. Can’t recommend Chris and his team enough!
Posted on GoogleShaun M18 May 2025We are so happy with the results, Chris & his team are great at what they do! Our puppy is a sweetheart but a puppy - pulled very hard on a leash, nippy, didn’t know how to approach other dogs, couldn’t be left in a room by herself if not gated, etc. We opted for the multiple week boarding training and are thrilled with the results!! In just a couple weeks there, she has been MUCH better on a leash, can be off leash and listen to commands, understands no, gets along much better with our older dog, and can be trusted to roam around our house now. She has become a disciplined, confident puppy while still maintaining her goofy, loving personality!! At just 7 months old, she is already better behaved than most adult dogs. She has been back with us for about 2 months now & hasn’t lost any of her new found discipline either. If you have any kind of behavior with your dog/puppy that you can’t seem to change on your own, I highly recommend you give Chris a call. He will get you the results you desire & teach you how to continue the training at home!Posted on GoogleKacie Carli18 May 2025Can’t say enough good things about Chris Park K9. When I first started working with Chris, my 1 year old golden retriever was shy, timid, and easily overwhelmed by new environments.It was so hard to see my pup struggle with confidence and fear in situations that should have been enjoyable. From the very beginning, Chris was patient, understanding, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to understand my dog’s unique personality and also took the time to teach me how to best support Winnie in new environments. Now, my dog is noticeably more confident and comfortable in situations that used to be too much. Walks are less stressful, new experiences are met with curiosity instead of fear, and I’m seeing my pup’s true personality come through more every day. I’m so grateful for Chris and highly recommend him to anyone looking to build a stronger, more positive relationship with their dog—especially if you're dealing with fear or anxiety issues.Posted on GoogleMichelle Winter17 May 2025I can’t recommend Chris Park and his team, enough, (thanks, London!). Our 5 month puppy, Ollie was crazy before Chris’ program, jumping, biting, barking, not listening to us at all. We had tried other training programs, with no results, Ollie would just get barricaded away from other dogs. After 2 weeks with Chis, he is much calmer, quieter, he listens to us, and no biting. He is still a rambunctious puppy but, so much better behaved. Chris taught us to understand the puppy brain. The training continues at home and he just keeps getting better! Thank you! 🙏🏼
Posted on GoogleDella Bradt9 May 2025I can’t say enough about the impact this training has had on our dog and our quality of life! Chris and team took our reactive, high energy, high prey drive dog and helped transform her into a dog that can now be off leash in a busy NYC park and sit at cafes and relax. Most importantly, Chris and team worked with us to prepare her for welcoming a baby to our family and the transition has been incredibly smooth! The program helps your dog learn to make better decisions and improve your communication with your dog. If you’re on the fence, I promise it’s worth it!
Posted on GoogleMark Bankover9 May 2025Reached out to Chris after reading all the reviews online. Have a 2 year old golden who refused to walk. Chris spent 30 mins with my dog and I, worked on some commands and other things, and now the dog walks. I never thought my dog would!! Very grateful for Chris’ patience and efforts during our time together!!Posted on GoogleNoelle4 May 2025Working with Chris has been an incredible exaperience—not just for my dog, but for me as a handler. From our very first session, his professionalism, deep knowledge, and effective approach stood out. He took the time to understand Louie’s unique personality and patiently taught me how to give effective comands, and provide calm and consistent leadership. Thanks to Chris, my dog now has excellent off-leash recall—something I never thought possible before training with him. Chris doesn’t just train your dog; he teaches you how to build a stronger bond through communication and consistency. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and gets real results, Chris is your only option!
Posted on Googlelacie chase1 May 2025⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plus Plus Plus for ChrisPark K9 and His Amazing Team! We cannot express how thrilled we are with the training experience we had at ChrisPark K9! We entrusted our Buddy with ChrisPark and his team for basic obedience training, while we participated in canine behavior instruction. From start to finish, the professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care of everyone on the team were evident. Over the course of two weeks, Buddy stayed with the team and received top-notch training. When it was time to pick him up (I thought he gave us a different dog), we were provided with a detailed folder containing clear instructions on the commands he learned. The team took the time to walk us through Buddy’s progress, ensuring we felt confident in continuing his training at home. What truly stood out was the real-life training exercise we had at Home Depot one week later. It was an incredible experience to see Buddy apply what he learned in a busy environment. ChrisPark offered valuable feedback on how to refine our approach, which we greatly appreciated. Fast forward to today: we just graduated as a trio—Chris, Buddy, and myself! We were able to navigate Home Depot off-leash and through the parking lot safely, without a leash or training collar, which is nothing short of incredible! I can’t recommend ChrisPark K9 and his team enough. Their expertise, kindness, and dedication made all the difference in our training journey. If you're looking for a supportive and effective training program, look no further! Thank you, ChrisPark and team, for helping us bond and communicate better with our Buddy! 🎉🐾
Posted on GoogleRich Mazzocchi1 May 2025We cannot recommend Chris and his team enough!! They are truly amazing. We have 2 golden retrievers (4.5 & 2.5 years old) that were very hard to walk, handle & manage. After training with Chris and London they walk off leash and actually listen!! They are so much happier now and we are too!! It's such a pleasure to go places with them now because of this training. We are forever grateful to Chris and his team!
Posted on GoogleKaren Hamelin26 April 2025Without reservation and with much gratitude, I highly recommend Chris and his team. After more than a year since completing "Basic Obedience Training and Canine Behavior Instruction" I remain as pleased as the day we "graduated." My Belgian, a rambunctious powerhouse of joy, continues to successfully follow the targeted goals tailored to his uniquely specific needs. Chris intricately understands dog behavior and was quick to identify my dog was constantly "on duty" and needed to learn how to be a dog! After his brief residential stay, I was trained along with him on how to keep both his mind an body active. Six months ago, when Chris came to my state for a wedding, he reached out to meet with us. This continued care and willingness to check in demonstrates his dedication and high standard of quality which he upholds. I can't give enough praise regarding our experience. During the residential component of training, I frequently received videos of my dog demonstrating success with instruction I would soon be learning to implement. Each video captured the quality of training and care my dog experienced. My Belgian's exuberant displays of joy felt like I enrolled him at an elite summer camp! I feel the in-person follow-up sessions with me and my dog prior to course completion has been a major key to our success. It's priceless knowing Chris's expertise and insight is only a text away should any situations ever arise. Karen H. Extremely Satisfied Participant
Posted on GoogleErin B24 April 2025We are so grateful to Chris Park and London for the incredible work they did with our dog, Mavis. While she was always friendly, Mavis was unsettled and lacked even the basic commands when we first started. Thanks to Chris’s thoughtful and consistent training, we can now take Mavis with us wherever we go and we’re constantly receiving compliments on her behavior! Mavis is not only happier, but also enjoys much more freedom now that we can trust her to follow the commands Chris taught her. What really stood out was the follow-up training Chris provided with us. He made sure we felt confident continuing the training on our own and helped us understand how Mavis thinks and learns. We can’t recommend Chris and his team enough. Thank you for helping Mavis become the best version of herself!Posted on GoogleTricia Callaway24 April 2025Nothing Chris and his team can’t handle ! He is the BEST! We are repeat customers- he trained our GSD and you would be hard pressed to find a better trained dog than her and we just finished with our Frenchie - nothing like having total command of your dog off leash and in your home ! Chris is worth every penny .
Posted on GoogleMaria Rodriguez11 April 2025I can’t recommend Chris Park training service enough! From the very first session, I saw a noticeable difference in my dog’s behavior. Chris & his son were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about what they do. They didn’t just train my dog they taught me how to be a better dog owner too. My once anxious and reactive puppy is now calm, confident, and listens to commands like a pro. The methods were positive, effective, and tailored specifically to my dog’s needs. I always felt supported, and they were more than happy to answer questions and provide guidance outside of sessions. If you're looking for real results and a happier relationship with your dog, this is the place to go. Absolutely worth every penny! Thank you Chris Park !Posted on GoogleRenee Serafino9 April 2025We took our 14 month old Spaniel/Beagle mix, Finley, to Chris Park K9 for the board and train program. The care, compassion and training he received while at their facility exceeded our expectations. The team followed Finley's cues and took the training at his pace while still being firm enough to complete his training. They treated him like their own and sent pictures and videos frequently so we could see how the training was progressing. Their training was thorough and our dog still has his same personality as he did before. We have received many compliments on Finley’s obedience after training and what a difference it made. We are grateful for Chris and his team!
Posted on GoogleJessica Andrews26 March 2025Amazing experience working with Chris!! Him and his team completely changed my dogs life. My dog weighs 100 lbs and is incredibly strong, he would get 10/10 excited at everything and pull me everywhere, basically walking me. I knew I had to do more training than just positive reinforcement for this big happy guy. Chris worked hard to not only educate and train Doug, but mostly me! I definitely needed help with a lot of the commands and he got me on track and feeling confident! I can honestly say my life is a million times easier now that my dog and I are speaking the same language and understanding each other. There’s no frustration on his or my end and it’s made our lives so much more manageable! We can go grocery shopping, run errands, off leash hikes, go to events, and endless amount of things my dog can come with me and remain under my control, even if he is super excited. The dogs absolutely love Chris and his team( my dog tried to go home with him during our training session once) Truly can’t say how grateful we both are!! Thank you again Chris Park K9!!
Posted on GoogleEli Paster23 March 2025If I could share 6 stars, I would. Chris knows how dogs (and humans!) think. He observes, trains, and teaches -both the dog and the owners- incrementally, with very clear objectives that make sense (to both). We saw progress on day one, and once we were into the swing of things, the results were exponential. Chris Park k9 has transformed our highly energetic, ready-to-bolt/jump/not listen furry friend into the same happy puppy that now has impeccable manners!
Posted on GoogleChristopher Allen11 March 2025If you're looking for a trainer who cares just as much about teaching you as they do your dog, Chris is the one to go to. Training is a journey for both you and your dog, and Chris provides the guidance and support needed to ensure success. His knowledge, passion, and dedication shine through in every session, making it nearly impossible to fail. Whether you have an eager-to-learn puppy or a more challenging dog, Chris has the expertise to help shape them into the companion you've always wanted.
Posted on GoogleJon Michael10 March 2025Chris is a former K9 cop who knows what he’s doing!Posted on GoogleTam M2 March 2025Chris had come highly recommended from a long time friend who had used his services for 2 of her dogs. I was nervous about leaving her for 3 weeks, but knew it was the best. I was so impressed with the changes in my rambunctious 8 month old puppy when I picked her up. Same fun personality, but she actually listens. She can be off leash, she comes when called. Is extremely well behaved and you can see her trying to learn and process what I’m saying when we work together. He teaches not only the dog what to do, but takes the time to teach owner how to be more consistent, how to better communicate and helps build that relationship between dog and owner. His follow up sessions in public places taught me to trust her and the process. I was so impressed. I would highly recommend Chris and his team 100%! Life changing for both me and my dog
Posted on GoogleAlexander Crocker2 March 2025Before entrusting our six-month-old black Lab to Chris, we faced numerous challenges during walks. Her crazy amount of energy led to biting and tugging at the leash, pulling with all her might, and jumping up to nip at our hands and sleeves. Our dog walker ended up quitting from being unable to manage her. Chris’s expertise transformed our lively puppy into a disciplined and well-behaved companion. We have transitioned from feeling embarrassed during walks to receiving compliments from fellow dog owners on how well trained she is. We wholeheartedly recommend Chris to anyone seeking professional training. His ability to understand the way dog’s think and react is truly commendable.
Posted on GoogleAimee Ward2 March 2025Sent my 1 year old golden retriever Lily to Chris’s 2 week board and train program. Before training, my dog was incredibly stubborn, constantly pulling on walks, and often ignoring me altogether. She would practically pull me onto my face running towards any dog and person. She would also take any chance she could get to run away from me and keep running. But after just two weeks with Chris, the transformation has been nothing short of amazing. I was afraid that sending her away would change her quirky personality, but this was not the case. She is the same dog, but much calmer. She now walks calmly beside me off-leash, listens and responds to commands on the first try, and is a very respectful dog. Lily doesn’t pull me down the street anymore and now I actually ENJOY my walks with her! Chris was also able to help Lily get over some fears such as loud noises. He not only trains the dog, but owner too in a way that is comprehensive and easy to understand. Chris is incredibly humble and patient, and very responsive to any questions. I’m happy that I can rely on Chris if I have any questions down the line. Will be sending all my future dogs to him!
Posted on GoogleAli Shaikh22 February 2025Don’t even know where to start , I adopted a 4 month old Rottweiler named Rocky, I went through a trainer but Rocky didn’t seem to learn much , we tried eveyrthing , at 9 months my dog started being reactive towards dogs and strangers, had a hard time walking on a leash properly , I asked a lot of people I knew who they got their dogs trained from and almost everyone said Chris park, fast forward Rocky graduated from Chris parks program and let me tell you, I can walk him off leash at Times Square if I wanted to, he doesn’t bark at dogs and he listens very well, Thankyou so much Chris for putting the time and effort in my dog and not giving up on him same way I didn’t give up on him, I love my dog so much I couldn’t even imagine giving him away and that was all possible thanks to Chris park , I will forever be grateful
Posted on GoogleDanielle Landry13 February 2025I can’t say enough good things about Chris and his team! I sent my almost two year pup Charlotte to them for board and train and it was the best thing I could have done for us. Coming back from her training she is no longer the nippy velociraptor she was and is now an obedient, happy dog who listens to commands and is able to play off leash to her hearts content. I truly appreciate everything Chris and London did for us and how thorough they were with her training and mine to make sure we are set up for success! I highly recommend training with Chris!
Posted on GoogleGarrett Lynch7 February 2025I highly recommend Chris Parks dog training. I brought my dog Winni for obedience training with Chris and I couldn’t have been more impressed even after the first lesson. Chris has a great approach to his training focusing on following commands and corrections while still keeping the dogs personality and to be a happy dog. In 6 weeks, my dog went from pulling on the leash, being nippy and not obeying commands before training to now being trained off leash, obeying commands and acting well behaved after completing training with Chris Parks. My dog just turned 1 year old and she’s now trained and well behaved for anywhere I’d like to take her. Thanks again Chris!Posted on GoogleCaryn Souza26 January 2025We highly recommend Chris Park K9 training! Chris and Landon were fantastic with our puppy, Stanley. At first we were concerned leaving our puppy for the board and train but it was the best thing we could have done. Stanley went from being a rambunctious little puppy to a calmer and happier family member. He is happy and well behaved and is much more fun to have around.Posted on GoogleSandra Roman22 January 2025Cant recommend Chris enough. We brought home a Fila from our trip to the Azores. He was a sweet boy but had a few behavior problems that were out of our league and didn’t know how to deal with. We sent him away with Chris for a few weeks and he came back the best behaved boy. Then Chris trained us! He explained to us that our dog needed to know we were in charge and we make the decisions and that’s exactly what happened. 6 years later he is still so well behaved and follows our commands. He no longer needs the e collar. It definitely isn't cheap and you get what you pay for-worth every single cent! We were lost until we found Chris. He is truly amazing with dogs. Chris is also very responsive. I once called him years later accidentally and quickly hung up. Within seconds I had a text from him.
Posted on GoogleKirby Mastrangelo30 December 2024I can’t say enough about Chris. I’d give 15 stars if I could. My mind is blown that it’s the same puppy. My puppy was sent to him chewing furniture, going potty in the house, nipping and growling, jumping and running so fast 3 of us had to chase him to catch him in the house TO being the most well behaved well mannered puppy but still cuddly fun and all of the great qualities. I went from thinking getting a puppy was possibly a big mistake to thinking I could have 10 of this dog with no issue. Would make this choice ten times over and as you can see I never leave google reviews but this one had to be made. Forever grateful!!!Posted on GoogleBhagyashree Oak29 December 2024Chris and his team did a wonderful job with our 1 year old Bernedoodle puppy. He is a totally changed dog after training with Chris, much calmer and obedient without losing his playful and happy personality. Due to the tools Chris and his team gave us and Ollie, we are able to be confident about taking him outside off leash and he is enjoying this freedom as well. Chris also makes sure that he provides a comprehensive hand-off to you after training and has follow-up sessions to make sure that you and your dog are settled well with the training. I highly recommend board and train with Chris!
Posted on GoogleJames Jones19 December 2024Chris and his team were absolutely amazing! Our Cane Corso is a year old and very stubborn. After his 3 week training he was completely another dog. The transformation was incredible, he now listens to commands, no longer pulls and we are now able to even walk him off leash. Lastly, let me say the level of follow-up and commitment to the dog and owner is top notch. If you're looking for a great dog trainer, look no further than Chris Park!
Posted on GoogleShahnaz Gharib11 December 2024Chris and his team did an amazing job with our black lab Lexie, our life has changed so much since she has been trained by them. Sending her away for 3 weeks was definitely a difficult decision but was well worth it. We can now enjoy our hike or walk in downtown without being worried about her reacting to other dogs or humans ! We are forever grateful Chris ! Thank you 🙏Posted on GoogleDavid Preston18 November 2024Amazing service!!! dogs behavior has been great. Chris has a genuine love and concern for the dogs, and responds quickly to any concerns owners have along the wayPosted on GooglePatricia Cardarople12 November 2024Chris and his team did a phenomenal job with training my Great Dane. A 130 lb dog can be a handful to own if not well behaved. After training with the team, my dog is obedient, easy to walk and can go in public without any issues. The most important thing to me was that my dog, Milka, was totally happy with Chris and his team. They showed him lots of love while teaching him how a happy/confident dog should behave. Chris takes the time to make sure the owners are successful and can continue with the training the dog has had while in the program. He met with me multiple times to correct things I was doing wrong and to show me how to manage any issues that arise. The investment in training has enabled me to keep this dog I love but who was almost too much for me to manage. I now feel confident and safer taking Milka with me anywhere. A well behaved dog can make your life so much easier. I am very confident recommending training at Chris Park K9 training and am comfortable saying you will not regret the investment. In a short time, you will see dramatic changes in your favorite dog.Posted on GoogleFaith Gargano11 November 2024I can’t recommend Chris Park K9 Dog Training enough! Chris has worked wonders with all three of my dogs: Malibu, our long-haired German Shepherd; Max, our Australian Cattle Dog; and our newest addition, Maverick, another long-haired German Shepherd. Maverick had a tough time adjusting as a puppy. He chewed everything, had trouble listening, and was terrified of other dogs besides his two siblings. Chris worked magic with him, helping him overcome his fears and teaching him to be calm, responsive, and well-mannered. Chris truly cares about the animals and the families he works with. He’s always checking in, asking how we’re doing, and making himself available to answer any questions we have. Thanks to his expertise, all three of my dogs are amazingly well-trained and still keep their unique, goofy personalities. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs and can bring out the best in them, I highly recommend Chris!Posted on GoogleJoseph Nammour11 November 2024Chris and his team were absolutely amazing with our seven month old puppy! We sent our dog to Chris for general obedience and were sad to leave him for two weeks but knew he was in great hands. Chris sent pictures and/or videos of him playing with his classmates and videos demonstrating & explaining his training and what they worked on that day. Chris not only taught our dog, but also taught us how to work best with our dog. He explains his training very throughly, and the follow ups post-training were really helpful for us as well, ensuring the training stuck and we were reinforcing behaviors correctly. Our dog absolutely loves Chris and we would highly recommend him and his team!
Posted on GoogleJake Spruce9 November 2024Chris is a phenomenal trainer who taught my beloved Aussiedoodle puppy to become a confident service dog. My furry companion has always been a bundle of joy - sweet, loving, and endlessly curious, but while she excelled at recall, her exuberant nature often resulted in impulsive pulling and enthusiastic jumping. Initially, I was apprehensive about e-collars and non-positive reinforcement training methods, fearing they might dampen her effervescent spirit. However, Chris's approach was a revelation. He tailored his techniques to preserve our pup's bubbly personality while instilling discipline. His goal wasn't to create a robotic pet, but to nurture a thinking, responsive companion. The transformation over just a few weeks has been nothing short of remarkable. Our once-stubborn puppy now responds to our commands with an eagerness that brings a smile to our faces. She mastered her service dog tasks with an aplomb that left us in awe, picking up complex behaviors as easily as she would a favorite toy. Chris's expertise extends beyond dog training - he's a skilled people trainer too. He patiently coached me and taught me the principles so that my dog's positive behaviors can last. The true test came during a bustling weekend session on a crowded commercial street. Amidst the cacophony of city life - honking cars, chattering pedestrians, and tempting food smells - our pup remained focused and composed. Thanks to Chris's guidance, I'm now receiving the assistance I need, and the bond between my dog and me has deepened immeasurably.Posted on Googlescott conway9 November 2024Long story short, Chris is an amazing dog trainer that gets great results with a no nonsense approach that doesn’t rely on bribing dogs with treats. I brought my 7 month old GSD, Ajax, to Chris for a board and train with some follow up appointments. Being away from your dog for 2-3 weeks is never easy, but Chris kept me in the loop with pictures and progress reports. Chris and London did an amazing job training him in a structured program, giving him all of the basic obedience skills as well as improving his manners and general behavior. I’m much more confident bringing Ajax around new places, and I’m now able to give him the freedom to be off leash without having to worry about him wandering off or chasing after whatever catches his eye. If you’re on the fence about whether or not to use his services, let me be the first to tell you that it’s well worth it. - Scott & Ajax
Posted on GoogleJoshua Watts26 October 2024Brought my two male huskies (4 and 6 years old) because they were fighting and misbehaving. I run my huskies, usually about 4 miles, on a motorized skateboard and take them on skis when there’s snow. I tried training them myself. I did 15 minute training sessions with each one everyday. Still misbehaved, still ran away if ever given the opportunity, still fought, and were overly possessive. They are truly changed dogs. The food and toy aggression is almost entirely gone. The fighting has stopped. I can have them off leash and they don’t run away. They listen. They THINK. Now they look at me before they do something. They lost a lot of their impulsiveness. I catch them looking at me all time asking for permission to do something. Huskies are notoriously stubborn and strong willed but Chris was able to channel that into them working with me instead of against me. Truly grateful. Chris taught me so much too. So helpful to do the trainings with my dogs and have him walks me through them. Learned so much about how to work with and train my dogs. Picture: I never thought I could have them off leash, no e-collar either, in a parking lot. They would’ve ran away first chance they got but here they are truly transformed dogs.
Posted on GoogleMicah Denner25 October 2024There is a reason there are only 5 star reviews. Chris is absolutely amazing as well as his staff. We did the board and train with our dog. We adopted her and have young kids and she seemed to be on edge compared to past dogs and we didn't know her history even though she was under a year old. She was also very food aggressive. The board and train was a little pricy for us but WORTH EVERY penny. She was night and day different. Then we had some follow up classes in a public environment and that was really a great experience. He even was patient working with our two oldest kids (7 and 10) with the dog. Any dog we get in the future is coming back here for the board and train. This is going to be the best trained dog I have ever owned. I can't thank or praise Chris and his team enough. If you are looking around. Stop here and look no further. If you are on the fence. You will not regret it. Thank you Chris and Team!!!!
Posted on GoogleDawn Marks25 October 2024Chris and London are awesome! Before bringing my dog Roscoe to Chris I was dead set against ecollar’s. But due to Roscoe beginning to become aggressive with other dogs around 10 months old and the lack of communication I was experiencing with the trainer I was using at the time I decided to look into ecollar training with Chris Park K9. In my first conversation with Chris over the phone he explained how ecollar’s can be a great asset with large breed protective dogs such as mine when they’re used correctly. I decided to schedule the board and train method Chris suggested but was still very unsure if this was the right decision. I felt terrible about the thought of leaving Roscoe for weeks in a strange place with complete strangers and be subjected to a whole new method of training. With an ecollar no less! I decided I had to do something different than the constant positive training with treats that he had clearly out smarted by 16 months old. I was so hesitant I almost canceled. I’m so thankful I didn’t cancel. While Roscoe was in the board and train phase Chris sent photos and videos a few times to show how the training was going. When it was finally time to pick Roscoe up I got my first lesson with the ecollar. London was so patient with me and answered all my questions as well as showing me how to do things the right way when I didn’t understand how I was supposed to be doing something. Then Chris gave me my first lesson with Roscoe and the ecollar. Roscoe was so disciplined! I couldn’t believe it! And when Roscoe would just look at Chris or London his undivided attention was undeniable. By the second training session Chris had me walk Roscoe by his dog. When Roscoe first saw Chris’s dog he barked and lunged like he always does so I gave him a correction with the ecollar and he immediately stopped reacting and walked passed Chris’s dog as if he wasn’t even there. Chris even had his dog follow behind Roscoe and I for a minute and Roscoe didn’t react at all! He kept his focus on me the whole time! By our third training session Chris had me training Roscoe off leash and by graduation Roscoe was following my command without a leash or collar at all! I can’t say enough good things about Chris Park K9, their dog training abilities and their understanding of dogs and how they think! Chris has always answered every text I’ve ever sent and returned every call I’ve ever made, even after graduating. I’m so happy with the progress Roscoe has made and I know Chris and his team are always available if Roscoe and I ever need them. Thank you so much Chris, London and the whole Chris Park K9 team for showing Roscoe and I how to be a properly trained pack!
Posted on GoogleTim Tschirhart10 October 2024This is my wife and my second rodeo with Chris Park and his k9 Dog Training school. This time for our second Australian Labradoodle. Our 1st experience into the unknown was a bit nervous causing some anxiety. But this was all for naught as Chris and team developed our pup Bailey into a dog who understands and is truly a close member of our family. Scroll forward 2+ years and we brought home Bailey’s niece, Jade, and knew that we had to use Chris again. Jade, you see, is a bit of a punkish tomboy who wanted to take charge of the household. We thought this would be one heck of a challenge for Chris Park. We were so wrong. Jade’s attitude became one of happiness all the time, wanting to be one with the family. Oh did I say that both Bailey and Jade are excellent in their skills. We walk and run them on the town common and beach off leash, under control, with no worries. Please do not hesitate to trust your pup’s learning with Chris Park. Although our two pups graduated at the top of their classes, their parents are still learning 😀. Chris is so good. Our pups love him too.Posted on GoogleGabriela Serret-Campos15 September 2024TL;DR: Chris Parke K9 Training completely transformed our lives with our puppy Great Dane. The investment is worth every penny! Chris Parke K9 Training has been an absolute game-changer for our family. From the moment we started, Chris and his team were professional, passionate, and dedicated to tailoring the experience to our dog’s unique needs. Our dog worked one-on-one with London, who was phenomenal. His connection with our dog and his ability to customize the training made all the difference. Dog training with Chris Parke is like giving your dog the playbook for life. Similar to how a team relies on a playbook to stay in sync, the structure and guidance have helped us and our dog work together seamlessly. Before training, managing a large breed felt overwhelming. Now, our dog is not only happier and more confident, but she enjoys more freedom because she knows what’s expected of her. The biggest change was clear when we took her out in public. I recently brought my 90+ pound puppy to a crowded restaurant—something that would’ve been a nightmare before, especially on a warm September day, where it was super crowded. Now, we go out stress-free, knowing she can handle the situation. She gets to enjoy the attention without making anyone nervous, and I can enjoy myself, knowing she’s well-behaved. It’s been a total 180 that allows us both to live life more freely. If you’re on the fence about training, take the plunge. The investment in Chris Parke K9 Training is worth every penny, and the results speak for themselves.
Posted on GoogleHeatherjean Horgan11 September 2024We took home our guy when he was abandoned at the police station on Christmas Eve. We have no idea what his background was, but he was scared of men, missing part of his ear and had food aggression. We spent time building his trust and he became the most loveable pup who hugged you with his entire body and earned the nickname wiggle butt. Fast forward a year and he formed such a bond with us that he wanted to protect us from everything. Since the world was scary for him he started to become anxious and perceive many things as a threat. Especially when men he didn't know would enter our space or go near his children, it became dangerous. He would get tunnel vision and I was unable to get him to respond without physically restraining him. My hope for his time with Chris and his team was so Hunter could be called back and put away when we had guests over and it would be easy to cross the street when we saw other dogs. I never imagined that he could walk by anyone or anything off leash, welcome guests, and take naps in the middle of a bbq with 50+ people. I cried after I dropped him off. I was so afraid he would think he was abandoned again, that he would lose his goofy lovable personality, and that he would no longer want to play with his puppy siblings. Instead he came back happier. His anxiety was gone like a weight had been lifted and knowing that if he listened to us he didn't have to overthink and he could just be a family pet that loved to be loved and take adventures with his kids. He used to experience night terrors and now he snores like he doesn't have a care in the world. He enjoys meeting guests and new people now, of course we have learned how to respect his space too and help him and our walks are so enjoyable! We don't have to cross the street, it's no longer me using bags of treats to keep his focus or his strength against mine, I talk to him and we continue on our way as a team. The training has always been amazing for many other things counter surfing, begging for food, jumping, and any other negative behaviors as they arise. I will never adopt another dog and not send them to Chris and his team. Hunter was home for 3 days before I called Chris and told him his sister was next!!
Posted on GoogleJoe & Theresa Muckey3 August 2024So we were debating if Earl was going to be a great fit for our family after an incident during a walk, especially as we were getting ready for a cross country move. I couldn’t control him, he was controlling me in that situation. Although Earl had been to board and train twice in the past I wasn’t really taught. I messaged Chris out of desperation and he immediately called me. He understood that are timing was very short but fit our Earl for a board and train. I was also called in during his time to work and learn. Chris is great, he left me know when I was going something wrong so that I could learn from my mistakes. I am confident now and don’t hesitate to take Earl out with me to the box stores or around the blocks. I know his triggers and can now alter them. If it wasn’t for Chris by our side during those 3 weeks, Earl would not have made the cross country move with us. Do not hesitate to reach out to Chris and his team. I wish we would’ve found him a lot sooner as we could’ve saved so much money in his prior training.
+4Posted on GoogleMadison Moulden9 July 2024Our dog 1 year old lab Smokey spent 2 weeks with Chris and his team a few months ago and we are so impressed with his results! He is still his sweet, fun self but now just actually listens to us and isn’t out of control jumping on every person he meets. We’re now able to walk him off leash and the freedom & peace of mind knowing we can keep him safe is well worth the investment. Couldn’t recommend Chris and London more!
Posted on GoogleJennifer Fantozzi6 July 2024I highly recommend Chris and his team for dog training. We sent our cockapoo Ellie to Chris for the board and train program. After 2.5 weeks Ellie returned to us happy and well trained with her commands. We couldn’t believe the difference! Chris provided lots of additional support before and after the training program, and taught me to have confidence in my puppy’s knowledge and ability to follow the commands. It is incredibly freeing to have her off leash for potty breaks (in our unfenced yard) and walks with confidence. Recently, we took her to the beach for the first time and she was able to be a free dog, run, and play and return to us when called. It was amazing! Chris promised when we started training that Ellie would be able to successfully walk through our busy downtown with no leash or collar and I thought that was impossible. But Ellie did just that to graduate! Send your puppy to Chris and invest in his training early on — you won’t regret it.
Posted on GoogleRoger laVault2 July 2024Where do I begin? Well, we got 2 female Kangal shepherds less than 2 years ago. As they were growing up, it became very obvious they needed some training, we tried in home training, weekly training, and most trainers we approached told us “ you can’t train a Kangal” they have a mind of their own. Well, we didn’t really know what to do next. These girls are very big, strong and intimidating, to us, they are the most loving and affectionate.We were very hesitant to walk them in any public place wit other people and especially other dogs. This breed is quite protective. Anyway, a co-worker of mine brought his Great Dane Adonis to Chris. He couldn’t believe the change. So, we contacted Chris, he first took Ruby, she had terrible anxiety when in her crate, and would bark at the neighbors dogs as if she wanted to go through the fence (which I had to reinforce) when we picked up Ruby we dropped off Nala. Nala came home a few weeks later. Now, when I say they are completely different dogs, behavior wise, that would be a huge understatement. I am amazed, happy and most of all so thankful to Chris and his staff for this, believe it or not life changing experience. Not only are they a pleasure to walk and work with, I have all the trust in these girls. I also had the pleasure of being trained to be a better dog owner. He actually taught me to “connect “ with your dog, I had no idea how that would work. Well he taught me. We will forever be grateful for all his experience. If you took the time to read this, look nowhere else to train your dog, I would give him 6 stars if I could. He is the BEST out there.
Posted on GoogleDavid Barry28 June 2024Chris and his staff were amazing. We rescued Milo and is 3 years old and didn’t know his history. After his training with Chris and staff he is a completely different dog 🐕. We will recommend Chris to everyone we meet that have dogs
Posted on GoogleStephen D'Arrigo23 June 2024Chris goes way above training dogs and their owners as well. You can tell he loves his work.Posted on GoogleJuti K22 June 2024Thank you very much for training Leo, you and your team much be very patient since, Leo can be a very stubborn dog. Chris and his team are very knowledgeable and did a great job helping to improve the communication between us and our dog. After 3weeks of aboard and training we saw a huge improvement. 5 out 5 stars Highly recommend for aboard and training.
Posted on GoogleNadia Monti17 June 2024I had wanted to have a dog my whole life. Finally, I pulled the trigger and I adopted a wonderful mixed breed named Bo. He was amazing. However, as he got older, it was clear that something inside him was easily sparked. He was very, very, very randomly aggressive towards other dogs. He was kicked out of daycare, and I had other dog walkers refused to walk him because he was so strong. It was sad and scary. Things got worse after I moved in with my partner. The last straw was when he attacked our other eight-year-old American bully no less than 10 times and had drawn blood each time. The attacks came from out of nowhere and they were very difficult to break apart. I was devastated, I didn’t think that I could do it anymore. I had no idea why this was happening. I tried books, advice from friends, I was at my wits end as things kept getting worse and worse and I did not know what to do. Frightened, I started to contemplate giving up my baby boy. One of my best friends recommended Chris Park. She said trust me, call him, he will work his magic. I was skeptical at first, but the results were undeniable. Chris and his team are OUTSTANDING. Chris transformed Bo, and was an amazing teacher for my partner and me. We cannot convey how grateful we are. I’m now able to take Bo anywhere and everywhere I want with confidence and complete control. Thank you, Chris. Thank you, London. Thank you everyone! I would not hesitate to call them. I feel like they can rehabilitate any dog.
Posted on GoogleRoger7 June 2024Chris is truly exceptional when it comes to dog training. Since working with him, our German Shepherd, Dieter, has undergone a remarkable transformation. Chris's methods are highly effective, and the results speak for themselves. Thanks to his expertise, Dieter is now more responsive and well-mannered. We're thrilled with the progress we've seen. We can now confidently walk Dieter in busy shopping centers and even pet stores filled with other dogs, all without a leash. The positive feedback we've received from fellow dog owners and neighbors is a testament to Chris's skill. Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend Chris to anyone seeking top-notch dog training. Thank you, Chris, for your outstanding work!
Posted on Googlecuzzi Larry23 May 2024Chris Park K-9 is amazing. They do great work with both the dog and the owner to really make you feel confident with your dog at all times. I strongly recommend his board and train. Odin and I thank you and your team of expert instructors.
Posted on GoogleAlexis Valhouli22 May 2024I can't say enough good things about Chris and London . We brought our 1-year-old Australian Blue Heeler, Izzy. After struggling with aggression within the yard and household to strangers. From the very first session, Chris's expertise and genuine love for dogs were evident. Chris took the time to understand Izzy’s unique personality and tailored the training program to suit her needs. We decided she had to be boarded and this was the absolute best decision. His positive reinforcement techniques made a world of difference. Izzy responded so well to his calm and patient approach. When she came home, we saw a dramatic improvement in her behavior. She now walks off leash, follows commands, and is much more manageable around other dogs and people. Chris sent photos every week to assure that she is safe and doing well. I never wanted to be that guy at the beach who can’t control their dog. She is the best-behaved dog off leash! What sets Chris apart is his ability to communicate effectively with both dogs and their owners. He provided us with practical tips and homework that we could easily incorporate into our daily routine. His follow-up and support between sessions ensured that we stayed on track. We are incredibly grateful for the transformation we've seen in Izzy and highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, and effective dog trainer. Thank you, Chris is and London, for giving us the tools to build a stronger bond with our furry friend!Posted on GoogleStephanie Howard21 May 2024Chris is the best- an absolute dog training master! He worked wonders with my bernedoodle puppy- she boarded with him for 2 weeks and came back a much happier and more relaxed puppy, knowing all the basic commands. Beyond that, Chris spent several hours with my family teaching us how to continue training. He truly does foster the dog-person connection and shows why this is so important. It is a big investment in both time and money, but very well worth it. Highly recommend!Posted on GoogleDaniel Gordon21 May 2024We have a 1-year old Belgian Malinois, Bruno. As loving and sweet as he was he had behaviors we wanted to correct such as jumping, recall, leash pulling, responsiveness and his destructiveness. We did extensive research for the right trainer because of our unsuccessful training before, we were looking for someone who has experience with Malinois which is how we found Chris. We live in Connecticut, which is about a 2-hour drive to Chris but when we spoke to him, he already knew some of the issues we had and was able to speak very specifically to the breed and temperament which made us feel very comfortable and confident he was the right trainer for us regardless of the distance. Chris was great in working with our schedule due to the commute, he was responsive and updated us when Bruno was with him. When we went to pick him up, we didn’t know what to expect but Bruno came back as his sweet, playful, loving self but more responsive, focused and confident. Chris and London helped us understand Bruno and was really honest in what we needed to do and correct ourselves for continued success. Chris made it really clear that we can reach out to him at anytime we needed him which is reassuring. We would recommend Chris and his team without hesitation for anyone who is looking for a trainer. We could not be happier with their work with Bruno and the quality of life we now have thanks to them.
Posted on GoogleAndrew Cameron16 May 2024After being referred from a coworker, Chris and his team did an excellent job training our 8-month puppy. Their updates during the training boarding were much appreciated and the follow ups once we got our puppy back were great to ensure that the training routines stuck with both the dog and us. Highly recommend!Posted on GoogleDanny Nastasia15 May 2024Chris and his team are amazing! When we got our Boxer Brewski we were “going to train him from day 1”. Fast forward 4 years and life happens. Brewski was very anxious meeting new people as well as other dogs. After 3 weeks in a board and train program with Chris and his team he is a completely different dog yet still the same! (i was very nervous about him changing during this). I am now able to take him in stores with me, out to outdoor dining, walks, and much more all while being around other people and animals. At this point we are only 2 weeks post board and train and Chris is still 100% available and communicating with us to further his progress. Even have another meeting set up with him tomorrow for more dog on dog interaction as well as boarding him in the near future for a couple days. Chris truly cares about his craft and helping not only the dogs but also the owners and their families! I will continue to work withChris and recommend him to anyone looking for dog training.Posted on GoogleSusan Prieto13 May 2024Chris Park and his team have done an excellent job training my anxious amd sometimes, uncontrollable 4 year old dog. Sadie's behavior is like night and day now-- she no longer pulls or acts aggressively around other dogs. She is happier and more balanced and her owner is much more relaxed and in control. I highly recommend Chris and his group to anyone who wants quality care and good results with their dog.Posted on GoogleJen Greene13 May 2024Chris Park and his team are INCREDIBLE! My dog Hendrix is a bloodhound mix (rescue) and he’s 7 years old. He had a lot of issues with begging at the table/in the kitchen, counter surfing, bad off-leash recall, terrible leash pulling on walks, and more. After sending him to Chris and his team, Hendrix is a completely different and well-behaved dog! I was worried given his age and breed that he was not trainable. Chris and his team took Hendrix for 3 weeks for a board and train program. I am now able to take Hendrix on walks and he does not pull at all! I’m also able to let him completely off-leash on hikes and in my parent’s backyard (not fenced). I NEVER thought I would be able to do this because Hendrix would normally have taken off into the woods (before his training) and he would never come back when being called. I have had no issues with Hendrix begging or counter surfing since he’s been back home with me. They were able to train Hendrix to go to his “bed” and this really works! He can even sit in the same room when we are eating and he stays on his bed, away from the table. The same goes for meal prep time in the kitchen. Chris also met with me 5 times after the board and train (once at my house, 4 times in a public place) for us to practice with Hendrix and so he could see how I was doing with all of the training. He has always been available for questions throughout the whole process and even after Hendrix graduated. I will now be using Chris as my go-to for boarding Hendrix because he is trustworthy and reliable. It was obvious from the videos Chris sent me throughout Hendrix’s time boarding with him that he treats the dogs as if they were his own. I did a LOT of research before choosing my trainer because it is an investment. I am so happy I found Chris and his team. I highly recommend him to anyone!
Posted on GoogleMaresa S16 April 2024I am very happy with Chris' dog training services. A goal of ours was achieving off-leash training with a solid recall for Kylo, and Chris and his team delivered excellent results. He was incredibly communicative and always available to help, whether by text, call, or FaceTime. Thanks to his expertise, Kylo is now obedient off-leash, and even earning compliments from others during our park walks. What truly stood out to me was the lasting sense of support and accessibility that Chris and his team offered. Even after our training sessions concluded, they made it abundantly clear that I could reach out to them with any questions or concerns, further solidifying my trust in their expertise and commitment to Kylo's well-being.
Posted on GoogleHannah Godfrey22 March 2024Chris Park and his team did an excellent job with our dog Rocco! Once a wild (and lovable) two year old golden doodle is now a much more behaved (and still lovable) family member! No longer do we need to worry about him jumping all over guests or not listening to us when he’s excited! Now he walks off leash with us to the bus stop and remains sitting while he watches our kids get on the bus. It’s amazing!Posted on Googlecheryl welch21 March 2024Chris and team are the BEST!!! Jack is my first rescue and was 7 months old when I adopted him. There were a few times I thought I would have to rehome him. But love prevailed and sending him to Chris was the best thing I did! Jack is so good now. He is totally a changed dog, me too!! I highly recommend Chris & his team!Posted on GoogleMary DiBenedetto15 March 2024I highly recommend Chris and his team to anyone looking for a trainer especially if you have young children. They were very good at communicating with us throughout the entire training process while our dog boarded with them, and after our dog trained with them, they even scheduled follow up training sessions with us. It is absolutely worth the money and the time - you won't regret it!Posted on Googlediana merriam10 March 2024Chris is an amazing dog trainer. He had my dog for two weeks and she is now so well behaved. I can bring her with me and not feel uncomfortable that she will misbehave! Thank you Chris😍Posted on GoogleSteff C7 March 2024Chris and his team are the absolute best dog trainers! They did an amazing job with our 3 year old Pitbull. She started to react aggressively towards certain dogs after she got bit by another dog. After the evaluation with Chris, we decided to do the board and train program. We could not be happier. We got our sweet and playful girl back with awesome obedience, recall and she can be off-leash. Also, the follow up visits are great, because the owner has to learn, as well. Chris is a dedicated dog trainer who ensures that you and your dog are happy. We are extremely satisfied with Chris' training. Thanks again!Posted on GoogleBrianna Ciccone5 March 2024Chris and his team did an amazing job training my 9-month-old Belgian Malinois. I was initially skeptical because I had sent my other pup to a different trainer when she was younger, and she came back unchanged or even worse. However, Chris and his team exceeded my expectations. Besides the board and train program, they provided important follow-up visits. These visits were less about training the dog and more about training me, lol! Since returning home, my pup has been a transformed dog. She's still her playful, loving self, but now she's more confident, less aggressive towards other dogs, and obeys commands she was taught. We've taken her to multiple stores, and people have complimented her behavior, and I always recommend Chris's services. I couldn't have asked for better results. If I could, I'd give them 10 stars!
Posted on GoogleLinda Macisaac19 February 2024I went through 3 other training facilities before I met Chris. My 2yr old golden retriever has anxiety issues. I couldn't take her to unfamiliar places without her running circles around me, pulling on the leash, and panting. After meeting with Chris, I decided to board and train her. She was with trainer Steve for 23 days. He brought her to public places 4x a day to desensitize her to crowds, loud noises and NORMAL daily life. Chris sent me videos of Luna's progress and as much as I missed her I was happy she was overcoming her fears. This is NOT a classroom but real life stuff. I got my dog back more confident and I was finally able to use ecollar correctly with Chris's instruction. Chris does not train, give your dog back, and drop the ball - he requires the owner to do the homework and he follows up with you until he is comfortable the dog is ready for off leash. Take my advice, do not waste your time and money with other training facilities...go with Chris and his team, spend the money, and get it done the first time. You won't regret it!
Posted on GoogleJ Kel18 February 2024We had an excellent experience with Chris Park K9. Not only did our puppy learn a lot, be we learned how to be better dog parents! We highly recommend Chris and his team!Posted on Googledeb nagan-lee17 February 2024We have a very active dog with a strong prey drive. Our dog has soooo much energy and needed to run but we were at the point where we couldn’t trust him off leash. After he played a game of chase with a coyote in the woods one day, we decided it was time for serious training. Chris Park was the answer to our prayers. After three weeks of training, our dog now listens to us and we are all much happier. And with our dog trained, he has so much more freedom now, because he will come when we tell him to. Training = freedom for your dog, and peace of mind for you. It’s worth it!!
Posted on GoogleAmy Melendez13 February 2024I highly recommend Chris as a dog trainer. My dog has transformed into a completely different dog and I am thrilled with the progress she has made. Initially, she was timid and anxious but with Chris' help, her confidence has grown significantly. She used to react aggressively towards people approaching us but now, I am able to take her out in public and she remains calm even when people approach us. Additionally, she used to pull on the leash while walking but now, she walks beside me without any trouble and listens to my commands. I am extremely satisfied with Chris' training and would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog trainer.
Posted on GoogleRaina Hall6 February 2024We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Chris and his team! If we could give 10 stars, we would. They did wonders with our cavapoo Ollie. Shortly after turning one year old, Ollie developed 3 major issues: 1) Resource Guarding/Biting - Whenever Ollie got a bone or stick, he would snap and bite us when we tried to get it from him. He'd get what we called "crazy eyes," intense stares with the white borders of his eyes showing. It made us so uneasy. Ollie, who never resource guarded anything before, all of the sudden was resource guarding everything from socks, sticks, bones, toys, tissues, basically anything he could find. 2) Lack of Impulse Control - Ollie would pull on the leash and lunge to get to other dogs to play. Ollie loves dogs and is playful, but no matter what we tried - from all the trainings, videos, tips - we couldn't get Ollie to not freak out. We grew to dread walking him and would go at times when we could avoid other dogs. 3) Incessant Barking - both alert & demanding. Like ear piercing barking, constantly. We were at our wits end; we had done group trainings and a private trainer for Ollie but nothing was working. Enter Chris and his team!! We read through all his rave reviews, and we gave him a call for an initial conversation. Chris was amazing - listening and explaining what the program would be. His team took Ollie for board & train for about 2 weeks, and Ollie came back a totally different dog - so well-behaved. It was like night and day. While his team had Ollie, Chris would send videos and pics every few days to show the progress which was super comforting to us. You can tell Chris and his team really care for the pups. Chris also taught us the right way to communicate with Ollie. Now Ollie is such a well-behaved pup. No more resource guarding! No more leash pulling! No more endlessly barking! Plus Ollie can even be off leash! Never in a million years did we think that would ever happen. Now we can take him to the park and let him run around and enjoy being a dog. We are so grateful to Chris and his team. Whenever we get a pup sibling for Ollie, we're going straight to Chris!
Posted on GoogleNicole Hartman28 January 2024Chris and his team did an excellent job with my dog Rosco. Rosco was very skittish Chris and his team worked with him got him over his fears. I can know bring him in places without a fight, he walks excellent on the leash with no pulling and best of all I can now let him off leash and he stays with me and comes back. I would highly recommend Chris and his team to anyone who is looking for a trainer.Posted on GoogleRebecca Crossley19 January 2024The best dog trainer !! I sent both my golden pups (3 yo & 6mo) for training. I live in the city and after going through Chris’s training, both of my dogs are trained off leash and have no issues walking in the city. I highly recommend to anyone who has a dog. Having a well trained dog is the best thing you can do for yourself and your dog!
Posted on GoogleElizabeth Berggren15 January 2024After our rowdy mini bernedoodle attacked one of our other dogs, we did not know what to do next. Despite being told by friends and family to rehome her, we decided to send our baby girl to training and Chris Park came highly recommended by a colleague. Riley stayed almost 4 weeks but came back a new girl! We were able to trust her around our other dogs without worrying about their safety, and our love for her grew even more. She loves her new off-leash freedom in our unfenced backyard, and seems more confident going out in public. It was truly the best money we have ever spent! We are so incredibly happy with her training that we are now sending our 2nd dog to Chris Park!
Posted on GoogleChristina Leonardi31 December 2023Chris did an amazing job with us and our dog! He was flexible with our schedule and patient with us as we worked our way through his program. Our dog loved Chris and responded incredibly well to his training. We would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a quality dog trainer!Posted on GoogleKelly Golini28 December 2023My Australian shepherd was about 10 months when I sent him to Chris and his team. I had tried two other trainers regarding his fear aggression and obedience which showed no improvement. I was extremely nervous to send my pup away for training but I am so thankful that I did with the dog that came back to me from Chris and his team! I was nervous that it was getting to a point where I wouldn’t be able to handle my dog anymore and Chris and his team were my last effort. I am extremely satisfied with my dog and my relationship now and Chris has always been available to help me with any questions I have regarding how to handle new situations with my dog. I highly recommend Chris and his team!!!Posted on GoogleMichael Flores24 December 2023Thanks to Chris and his team we have a brand new, very obedient dog! He trains both the dog and the owner in a clear, simple way. No gimmicks and Chris delivers. Thank you Chris and team!
Posted on GoogleLaura Coral20 December 2023We are incredibly happy after completing the training process for our husky with Chris and his team. Our husky transformed in just a few weeks to an obedient boy who knows how to behave around other dogs without resorting to aggression. As a bonus, we can now walk him without the leash on, giving both of us better quality walks and time spent together. Thank you so much, Chris! When we get another dog, we know who to call!
Posted on Googlekate Caruso19 December 2023Chris and his team are amazing! Ace was very nippy with our kids and would not obey any commands. He was only 5 months at the time so we weren’t expecting much, as he was still a puppy. Our entire family was shocked to see what Chris had done in only two weeks. The kids are finally able to play with Ace without fear of being bit. I can now take him on walks without leash pulling, running away or being afraid he may be hit by a car. I honestly did not believe this was possible and am so grateful for all that Chris has done! Even after the dog is trained Chris gets right back to you with any questions over the phone or text! So helpful in every way! Could not recommend him enough!!!! Thank you!! - Kate CarusoPosted on GoogleDoc L18 December 2023Chris is a wonderful trainer because he has clear and high expectations for both the dog and the owners. This style is efficient because there is no question as to how a dog should be responding to commands, how and when to provide positive reinforcement, and how and when to provide a correction. His decades of experience show in how he values positive reinforcement for the dog to accompany any behavioral corrections. (His delivery of "GOOD BOY!!!" is so theatrical and above and beyond to prove a point- five stars for that alone :D) He truly wants what is best for the dog and will make sure that you know what you are doing so that you keep the dog safe. We did private sessions but he also offers board & train. We were very happy to work with him and will recommend him to everyone we know. Thank you Chris!!Posted on GoogleFredi Anne Hurwitz15 December 2023Our rescue puppy was aggressive when he got scared.Chris Park took as long as he needed to correct the behavior. We had to have patience and trust Chris to his job. We are so glad we listened .Our puppy is now a pleasure to be with.Posted on GoogleSophie Hughes14 December 2023We sent our almost two year old Cavapoo, Bruno to Chris’ board and train program and couldn’t be happier with the results. Bruno unfortunately showed food aggression and resource guarding with chews/toys. He would bite us whenever we were too close to him with a chew/toy or trying to take it away from him without a warning growl. He would also pick and choose when he wanted to listen to our commands. It was always a struggle getting him into his crate at night as well. We were very hesitant having him around our friends and family, but especially kids and other dogs. After speaking with Chris it was an easy decision that sending him to the board and train program was a must. Chris and London were extremely supportive throughout the entire process. They ended up keeping Bruno for an extra couple of days to make sure he was ready to go home. Upon pick up, it was our turn to be “trained” and we were taught how to continue his training at home. We had multiple follow up sessions with Chris to make sure we were doing everything right! We now have a more confident, obedient and happy dog. He listens to us on the first command and even goes into his crate at night on his own! Chris and his team are miracle workers and we are SO glad we found them!Posted on GoogleKerri13 December 2023It’s like dog magic! We thought Murphy was aggressive toward dogs and were not sure how we were going to live in a community where there are dogs everywhere! He was lungeing, pulling, growling, barking, and unable to control himself even if the dogs he sees were blocks away. We took him in for an evaluation with Chris because we were still not sure. It turns out that Murphy is not very aggressive, but super insecure. He was looking to us to see how he should behave, and when we were not giving him clear signs, he would act on his own. He needed to learn how to be a dog because we never taught him. Chris taught us how to be his leader, how to gain his trust, and how to trust ourselves! And, in the end, we were really the ones that needed training! I was not excited about board and train. I have heard horror stories and read on the news about how bad these programs can be. I would not have done this if it were not for one of my coworkers who swore by it! She was not wrong; this program is definitely different! After the board and train, Chris followed up with several individual training sessions. Other board and train programs we researched just leave you with your dog and maybe one session to teach you what you need to know. We had several sessions with Chris where he included other dogs, and coached us on how to handle those interactions. Every time, it got better. He did not graduate Murphy until he was confident that Murphy and we could handle real life situations. We even got a diploma after his final test! Chris makes himself available whenever you have any questions, and encourages you to contact him when you are not sure. He is tough, but it is worth it! There is nothing more exciting than seeing your dog’s behavior transform from insecure to being able to walk with you around in a crowded home Depot, off leash, with no collar! I highly recommend his service. Look at his website and his instagram page to see all of the successful graduations! If you are still unsure, schedule an evaluation. It will change your outlook and ultimately, the relationship between you and your furry companion!Posted on GoogleMark Uvanni12 December 2023When I was looking for a dog trainer Chris' name kept coming to the top. I brought my 3 year old Toy Poodle to Chris' Boot Camp. Not only did Chris and his team work wonders with Bentley, they "trained" me as well which was just as important! Bentley is now a happy, well-trained dog. He had issues with toy/food aggression and that has disappeared! I highly recommend Chris Park and his team!
Posted on GoogleFiras Said27 November 2023Chris and his team did an absolutely fantastic job with our loving, non-aggressive, but extremely excitable and reactive Samoyed. Previously, dog walks, particularly in new places, would have our pup focusing on anything but us - not even the most high-value treats would get him to settle and respond to simple commands. This would only be exacerbated by the presence of other dogs - he would stop at nothing in an attempt to get to them for a greeting and would bark incessantly in disapproval if he did not get to his target. Visits from friends or strangers would lead to 30-minute ear-shattering barking sessions. Chris was very quick to respond to our call and discussed his offered training options. We opted for the boarding program, and Chris kept our pup for a little over three weeks - but he came back so ridiculously well-behaved that we couldn't believe it! While still extremely loving and playful, he is very responsive and focused on us even in the most exciting of circumstances. Perhaps most surprisingly to us - his reactivity is essentially gone! He remains very intrigued by other dogs, cats, and animals, but he now he continues to respond to our commands and will walk right past a gaggle of barking dogs with no pulling or barking whatsoever. Chris overall was also superbly responsive and kept us up-to-date during the process. Chris's training was seriously life-changing and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone and everyone!Posted on GoogleWendy Lee26 November 2023Without any hesitation, I highly recommend Chris Park for your dog training needs. My puppy Grace is a typical lovable, very energetic Golden Retriever. Having failed to properly train my first Golden, I was thrilled when a neighbor recommended Chris as the go-to trainer for dog owners who are serious about wanting a well-behaved, happy dog, and who are willing to commit the time and resources to achieve that objective. When Grace was 6 months old, I started weekly lessons with Chris either at my home, his facility, or the Methuen Home Depot. Within 3 months, my beautiful Golden Retriever graduated from obedience school with flying colors. What I learned most from the experience is that Chris is an amazing dog trainer who has an abundance of patience with dog owners. The training was as much for me as it was for Grace. If Grace was slow to respond to my commands, it was because of the mistakes that I was making in the communication. I soon realized that I needed to be trained more than my dog! Now that my formal training with Chris is finished, I am very confident that I can continue to properly train Grace with the tools and techniques that I learned from Chris. Thank you so much Chris! You are truly amazing.
Posted on GoogleBarb Keiser25 November 2023My dog was constantly bolting on me and wouldn’t come back. A neighbor recommended Chris. I was amazed at how well he listened when he came home. Now if he sees a squirrel he just looks at it and continues walking with me. I also can walk him with out a lease and he stays right with me.Chris and his team definitely worked miracles. It was expensive but worth every penny.Posted on GoogleAndrew Leiter20 November 2023Chris Park and his team truly deserve a 5-star review! The trainers were not only knowledgeable, but were able to address specific behavior issues. They took the time to listen to our concerns and tailored a plan specifically helping our 1 year old reactive cavapoo Pretzel. Even after the three week boarding program, Chris and his team continued to follow up with us and provide support and guidance if needed. With their expertise and support, my dog's behavior improved significantly. We can now take Pretzel places without him reacting. I would highly recommend Chris Park to anyone in search of a dog training program!Posted on GoogleYashira Zwisler16 November 2023Chris and his team are amazing! We sent our 7 month Bernedoodle, Lex, to Chris Park’s board and train for 2.5 weeks and he came back to us still the fun, playful, and sweet puppy he was before but now he listened! After the 2.5 weeks, Chris continued to work with Lex and with my husband and I to ensure we knew how to apply all that Lex had learned. By his graduation day, Lex was off leash and without collar at a Home Depot parking lot with cars and people passing by! Chris and his team are patient and truly have a gift with dogs. I would highly recommend Chris and his team to anyone looking for dog training.
Posted on GoogleLais Washington12 November 2023Chris and his team (London worked with our pup) are phenomenal. Not only do I now have an 114 pound, well-behaved Great Dane, but they also managed to get my very picky pup to eat her kibble! My 10 year old can now walk her and I don’t have to worry about her tearing his arm off. I’m even able to take her to downtown Andover when it’s busy and not be stressed because she has impeccable leash manners. Check out our video on his site! Chris and London kept me updated with pictures and videos the whole time. They were really patient with me and my pup and they have been super supportive even post graduation. I HIGHLY recommend Chris Park. He obviously knows and loves dogs and he helped us so now we can truly enjoy our wonderful dog!Posted on GoogleJake Jesi9 November 2023Chris parks and his team are the best there is when it comes to dog training. I have a 1.5 year old cane corso who was having reactivity behavioral issues. We had spent money on a few trainers before meeting Chris in the north shore area. After a lot of money spent we didn’t get much results. Once we sent him to Chris and London he came home a very well behaved dog. Before we met Chris my fiancé and I didn’t feel comfortable having him around company because he was extremely protective of our home. He also couldn’t be around other dogs without having issue. We live in an apartment complex surrounded by other dogs. Walking him was constantly very stressful. Following 3 weeks staying with Chris and London, Diesel is a perfect gentleman. When company comes over he stays in his bed until I release him. He can play with other dogs and when given him a command his response is instant. Life is so much easier and more relaxed thanks to Chris Parks Dog training. Just like everyone else giving up your dog for 3 weeks was very nerve racking. However, Chris and London made the experience so easy for us. They constantly sent me videos and pictures to show his progression. They let him live happily amongst their families and kept him active throughout the day. At the end he came home such a happy boy. He absolutely adores Chris and London. Follow up sessions he was so happy to see them. I can’t stress enough how professional Chris Parks dog training is. It’s worth every penny and I highly recommend them as they are the best In business!
Posted on GoogleCollin Clark4 November 2023Chris is a miracle worker! Our beagle mix Zoe spent three weeks with his team this fall. We have tried many training methods but Zoe still had poor recall and obedience as well as guarding tendencies. When we picked her up she was off leash trained and much happier! We are thrilled to be able to better communicate and trust her now. We would highly recommend Chris’s services to anyone looking to better connect with their dog.Posted on Googlejulie potvin1 November 2023Chris and his team were so amazing and very straight to the point. I brought my 4 year old dog aggressive Frenchie to them after trying other training and after just 30 min of an evaluation my dog was already in check. Not only was my dog happy when he came back to me he was happy and well mannered. They know what it takes to deal with this type of hardship when it comes to the pets who hold our hearts. They listened to me, worked hard with my dog and were patient with me as well. I understand that me as the owner also needed training!! I am so grateful!!!Posted on GoogleMichele Drenzek1 November 2023AMAZING!!! Chris is an amazing dog trainer I would highly recommend him and his staff. He has made such a difference in my relationship with Rusty. He is still a very happy dog but with Chris's expertise he taught Rusty and me how to communicate with each other. To not have a dog who listens and obeys you doesn't mean he is not happy. Before I took Rusty to Chris it was always a challenge now it is a pleasure to work as Chris taught us...... Ten stars easy :-)Posted on GoogleGeneva and John Crowley23 October 2023We had the most amazing experience with Chris and his team! As a newfypoo, we knew our pup would get big and we wanted to make sure he was really well trained! Additionally, our house is very busy with 4 kids and a revolving door of friends coming and going and running around! We wanted to make sure Gryffin would listen even when distracted by all the other activity always going on around our home and yard. He boarded with Chris for a few weeks of training and then had some additional home sessions so Chris could help train us on how to properly give him commands and follow through. The whole experience was amazing. From the start, Chris was super responsive and helped educate us about the process and how dogs learn and see the world. It was super helpful and he answered my endless questions happily! I was nervous to have Gryffin board, but was excited when I got frequent updates with videos of his progress and him running around and having fun! I immediately realized we sent him to the right place as he was both learning and seemed truly happy and well cared for when there. When Gryffin came home from his boarding, I was surprised at how much he learned! He was always a good natured pup, but the general chaos of having a new pup was gone! It relieved so much stress on my end. The kids can now take him for walks without him pulling them down the street; if I gave a command he listens - prior to training with Chris he would only listen if he wanted to or wasn't distracted, but now he listens every single time even if he has in his mind to do something different and always the first time I ask; we can go for off leash walks with him and take him to parks without worry he will run off; if things get busy and I need him to be out of the way for a moment, I can tell him to lay down or go to his bed and he will wait there patiently until l tell him he can stop. Thank you to Chris and his team for all your help with our pup. I highly recommend them!
Posted on GoogleKristen Chiaramonte11 October 2023My 7 month old American Bully Remy graduated Chris' obedience program yesterday and I am so thankful. Remy didn't have any behavior issues other than typical bully stubbornness but it was extremely important to me that anyone who meets her is an awe of how well behaved she is, considering her breed and the usual bad rep they get. Before dropping her off I was so scared that she would lose her loving personality or that she would feel abandoned. I was totally wrong. She came back to me the same happy loving dog just with more confidence. At pick up she was so excited to see me and we quickly went back to life as usual. I missed her more than she missed me I'm sure because all my update videos showed her having the time of her life while she was gone. The visits we have had with Chris for follow up since have been invaluable. We learned it's actually me who's the problem LOL. I'm not firm enough but I'm working on it. Chris is hilarious and down to earth and I was able to pick his brain about random dog behavior questions. Remy will still be hanging with the training crew on Mondays just to get regular socialization with other dogs and I know she will end up a better dog for it. Thank you Chis and team! Our new puppy will be with you in a couple months!Posted on GoogleJoyce Maclary28 September 2023We haven't had a dog for 20 years and decided to get an adorable dog. It was important to us to have a well behaved dog in part because we have grandchildren and didn't want them to be afraid. Riley is adorable but a handful. I researched trainers and came across Chris Park. I reached out and he returned my call quickly. We decided to board and train. He sent us updates and pictures assuring us Riley was making progress. It was amazing when we got him back. Chris reviewed all that we needed to do. He came to our house 1 week later and worked with us. 1 week after that we went to home depot and went through everything we learned with Chris. This was the best decision ever made. Thank you Chris and your awesome team.Posted on GoogleCarolyn Roos23 September 2023We sent Louie off to the Chris Park team for 3 weeks and were so amazed by his obedience upon return. We were taught how to continue use of the e-collar properly at home and Chris and his team continued to follow up post his 3 week session to answer our questions and concerns. We now have full confidence in having Louie off leash because he finally listens to us when we tell him to “come here”!
Posted on GoogleDan Cosgrove5 September 2023I would love to meet a person that didn’t make this 5 stars. What Chris and his team were able to help us achieve in just a few weeks has been incredible. Our dog and our family thanks him for such an amazing experience.Posted on GoogleRoxana Dormail4 September 2023This was the best thing I could have done for my pup.I highly recommended Chris Park K9 dog. Professional and knowledgeable. My 11 months old puppy and I learned to understand each other.Posted on GoogleLaura Moore20 August 2023Chris came highly recommended to us from a good friend when we were struggling with our 10mo Australian Shepherd puppy. He was overall a good dog but lacked confidence and self control. Chris spent a little over 2 weeks with Rover and he came back a different dog, in a good way! Chris and his team are professional, honest and most of all passionate about what they do. Rover comes with us everywhere and there’s not a single day that goes by that I am grateful for having found Chris! We frequently get comments about how well behaved he is; yet he has never lost his super fun spunk!Posted on GoogleScott Harrison15 August 2023My pup, Memphis, was just about two years old and just wasn't the dog I wanted. He has an amazing demeanor and was pretty well behaved, but I had zero comfort/confidence in having him off leash. I finally decided to get some professional training and found Chris recommended by several folks. I gave Chris a call and heard back from him right away. We talked about a couple different options (private training vs board and train), the pros and cons and Chris answered all my questions. Ultimately, I opted for the board and train and two weeks later, I had the dog I was looking for. Chris worked with me on the knowledge transfer and had a couple follow ups to make sure I was on point with taking over the reigns. Memphis is now out with me and so well behaved. We just completed our second 4k footer together and he had no reaction to other hikers, other dogs and stayed with me the whole time. It was an investment that has already paid off in dividends. Chris and his team are incredible and would recommend them to anyone looking for their dog to be awesome.

Posted on GoogleDanielle Brown28 July 2023Oh my gosh, where do I even begin?! I will start (and likely end) with saying Chris Park and his team of dog trainers are simply amazing! There are so many awesome reviews on this page previous to this one and they are all the same. Honestly, look no further for your dog! Miracles absolutely DO happen and they happen with Chris Park K9 and his team! Ollie, our nearly 7 month old lab/pit mix puppy was in desperate need of some manners. He did ALLLL the naughty puppy things: he counter surfed, he stole tissues out of the bathroom trash like it was his job, he’d snatch laundry (clean or dirty) from the hampers-never to be seen again, he’d jump all over people for attention, he’d pull on walks and act completely unruly when we’d see other dogs and humans. He was controlling our life and things were headed south fast. Our training techniques were incredibly ineffective and we knew we needed help. Big time. In walks Chris. Everyyyyything changed. Ollie was boarded for 19 days. He checked his rambunctiousness at the door and magically transformed into an obedient dog; a calm and manageable dog. A dog that we can now have off his leash and he stays with us. He comes when we call him. He stays when he’s told to stay. He “leaves it”, when he picks up something he shouldn’t. Chris transformed our puppy, but equally as important to that, he trained us as owners. We now know how to effectively control Ollie. Our home has become peaceful again (well, as peaceful as a home with 3 kids, 2 cats and a puppy can be!). Thank you, Chris Park K9! You truly are amazing! We will forever be grateful.
Posted on GoogleMichael Cunha8 July 2023Chris and his team were absolutely amazing ! Not only did I love them but my boy loves them too. I could of never in a million years pictures having my dog off leash and not having to worry he won't listen. Both of our quality of life has improved ten fold and If It wasn't for Chris idk where we'd be right now. Thank you so much Chris for all of the help and working your magic !!Posted on GoogleMary Davidson2 July 2023Chris and his team were amazing with our 10 month old golden doodle Winnie! We struggled with her jumping on people, pulling on the leash and lack of attention in learning basic commands. After 2 weeks with Chris, Winnie was her same sweet self, just with a whole new set of skills that eliminated all her bad habits. We can’t say enough great things about Chris- he truly transformed our puppy!
Posted on GoogleGibson Cushman2 July 2023Chris and his team did an INCREDIBLE job with my 1 year old English Cocker Spaniel! He went from crazy and uncontrollable to perfectly well behaved in just 2 weeks while still keeping his happy and loving personality! Great communication and true knowledge and passion for dogs. Absolutely the best! Thanks Chris!
Posted on GoogleScott Luba30 June 2023Our golden retriever was a terror to the neighborhood with his barking and reactive behavior to dogs, people, buses/trucks, etc. on walks. One of our neighbors recommended that we call Chris as he worked with his dog (and their dog is incredibly well behaved!) After working with Chris and his team - the unpleasant behaviors were corrected and as long as us humans follow our training - our golden is the sweet golden boy we knew he could be. We quickly came to trust Chris and his education and guidance always made sense. I highly recommend Chris and his team.Posted on GoogleBrittany Bouchard29 June 2023Chris was amazing with our dog Billy! Chris did a great job explaining and helping Billy and myself every step of the way. Billy understands and listens better then ever!
Posted on GoogleJeanine Witten25 June 2023Awesome experience! We HAD a reactive Pitbull who wouldn’t let people enter the house and we were unable to walk him around the block because he would go crazy at other dogs…. 4 weeks later Chris and London transformed him! We can now enjoy public walks and have family visit! Creed is the perfect gentleman🐾💕!
Posted on Googleshaunna Maloney10 June 2023We brought our 2 year old Rottweiler to Chris about a month ago. I was very hesitant on leaving Tank with someone I really did not know. It turned out to be the BEST decision I made. Tank came back a new dog, you definitely have to put the work in but it is so worth it. I would recommend Chris he is a dog whisperer!!Posted on GoogleJIthendranadh Talasila2 June 2023We are happy that we choose Chris park k9 dog training. I cannot say enough great things about this place! I recommend them to everyone I know. Chris and his team did amazing work in training Rocky. He really taught us the skills to have the dog listen very well. Great place to train your dog. I saw a drastic change in Rocky less than couple of weeks. Every penny is worthful spending with Chris park K9. I really thank Chris and his entire team!Posted on GoogleSara Sparkles20 May 2023Chris and his team are really amazing at what they do. Chris allows you to love your pet and not just treat them like “a dog” while still teaching the proper skills. My issues with Jax were aggression towards other dogs and Chris was really effective in teaching both Jax and I how to go on a walk without any problems.
Posted on GooglePerri Maduri18 May 2023We adopted a nice boy named Marty from Louisiana, but quickly realized that we had our hands full with training. He loves people but had some leash aggression with other dogs and only listened when he felt like it. His penchant for running away into the woods when he spotted another animal (there or not) was also an issue. We tried our own training, but after a couple of run aways where we weren’t sure we would find him, we knew that we needed professional help. We had a fantastic experience with Chris Park, who was recommended to us by family members that had worked with him in the past. After our initial evaluation, in which Chris successfully introduced our dog to three dogs with no leash aggression, we knew we needed to work with him. A month later we sent him away for 2 weeks for the boarding and training program. One of the biggest selling points for us was Chris’ general training philosophy: your dog’s personality does not need to change, but rather there needs to be a foundation of mutual trust, and clear communication so that both you and your dog are happy and “on the same page”. There are also two sides to the training: the training of the dog, and the training of the owner(s), and we knew we needed training just as much as our pup did! Chris was so patient with us as we learned the ropes. We took the sessions very seriously, but Chris made it fun - we had some laughs along the way, while also learning the commands, how to properly introduce dogs to each other, and how to handle certain situations we might find ourselves in. Marty is still the same dog personality-wise, but much more obedient. He comes when we call him, and though he’s still intrigued by birds and squirrels, he listens to us over choosing to give chase. We can now take him on the hiking trails near our house with no leash and are confident in his recall. Walks and outside time have become much more enjoyable and less stressful! Oh – and Marty is obsessed with Chris too. Thank you so much Chris!Posted on GoogleMegan Feole16 May 2023We are so thankful for Chris and London. Chris showed us how to let our dog be free with discipline. We can relax in our yard with our dog without a leash or fence. Our dog is happier and we can take him places without worrying about how he will behave. The training is worth the money. Highly recommended Chris if you’re looking for solid obedience training.Posted on GoogleBurju Shoes12 May 2023Absolutely amazing training. Highly recommend working with Chris and his team. They know what they are doing and are kind and caring. Your pup will be in great hands and you will have a fur friend you can take with you anywhere to enjoy.Posted on GoogleAllison Bodwell2 May 2023Can’t thank Chris enough for the training he provided to our puppy. Such a phenomenal job and would highly recommend!Posted on Googlesam paps2 May 2023Chris is the absolute best! Our not even 7 month old rescue pup is the most well behaved girl out of any of the dogs we know. 11/10 would recommend and your dog would also thank you for it.
Posted on GoogleErin Munroe20 April 2023Wow what can I say Blaze is a new dog .He wasn't a bad dog before but to have him be an obedient dog that we now trust each other and he can be off leash and more free is amazing .His over all confidence is a 360 he is so calm now trusting me to be in charge ♥️ him so much everyone is complimenting about what a good dog he is .wish we found Chrisparkk9 sooner .No more leashes buddy unless it's appropriate.still need to respect others . We can't recommend this trainer enough trust the system .
Posted on GoogleShelly Rainen19 April 2023This was the best and most successful dog training experience we have ever had. Chris is a master dog trainer. We highly recommend Chris Park-K9 Training.Posted on GoogleJoshua Stephens19 April 2023Chris and his team are magicians when it comes to training dogs. I considered my dog well trained but he needed to correct a couple negative behaviors. Now those behaviors are gone and he is more well trained than I ever imagined.
Posted on GoogleEsmeralda Hernandez13 April 2023We took both of our two year old huskies to Chris’ board and train and we could not be happier with the results. It was worth every penny. Before the training they were constantly pulling on our walks, had no recall, and they were really the ones who dictated what and when we did things. After training their personalities are unchanged AND now they walk perfectly both on and off leash, recall is excellent and they are free and truly able to enjoy the outdoors from hikes to trails and even around the local neighborhood we feel so confident with them and are happy we got control of lives again 10 out of 10 would recommend.
Posted on GoogleNandak Venkatesan10 April 2023We recently completed the board and train with Chris for my 10 month old German Shepherd. Chris and team did a fabulous job with the off leash training not just during the boarding period but also with followups after. I just could not believe how well the dog did in a public setting off leash on the final day. Now it is time to keep practicing and enjoying this wonderful breed of a dog in our lives. Very thankful to Chris and team for their services.
Posted on GooglePeggy Lee10 April 2023One night in December, after a frustrating day with my 6 month old puppy, I asked on FB for recommendations for a trainer. I was crying and at my wit’s end. Three friends recommended Chris. HE AND LONDON SAVED MY SANITY!! Lucy is a different dog. She still has her puppy personality but is so much better behaved. It was money well spent and I highly recommend Chris and his team.
Posted on GoogleNoah Palmieri2 April 2023Absolute best dog trainer. Chris took our puppy from disobedient and rambunctious to very well trained and focused in a short period of time. I had no idea a 6 month old dog could have the amount of self control and discipline that she has and it’s all thanks to Chris. Importantly- he also provides follow up support on top of the initial sleep away training camp. This is vital because as the owners we had to learn to speak the commands correctly just as the dog had to learn them. Chris is very easy to work with and maintains great communication. In training sessions he can fix an issue within minutes. He is also so passionate about his dogs- for me there is nobody else I would ever send my dog to other than Chris Park!Posted on GoogleSneha Palmieri2 April 2023Can't recommend Chris enough! He is an absolute expert - our young and rambunctious puppy Nala was a free spirit and wouldn't listen to us before taking her to Chris. Now, she is extremely obedient and follows every command. Chris has made it so that we speak the same language as Nala and there is trust and understanding in our relationship. Before Chris we were certain we would have to fence in our backyard since taking her out on a leash to go to the bathroom every time was a hassle. Now we can just walk out the door with her off leash, and she stays close by - no need for a fence! Nala loves Chris and in every follow up appointment to check in on the training, she was so happy to see him. It's clear he treats his dogs right while training them to an extremely high standard. He deeply understands dogs and takes the utmost commitment and pride in his work. This was the best possible investment we could have made for Nala and for us. Every day we are thankful we chose to do it so early - now we have years and years of good and obedient times to look forward to! Thank you Chris!
Posted on GoogleJean McGurl27 March 2023I rescued 2 collies from a horrible situation. After a few years their behavior started to change and they were displaying signs of aggression and being disobedient. One of my dogs did bite/nip a few people. It was to the point I thought I would have to give them up because I could not control them anymore. And then my dog groomer referred me to Chris. I left them with him for their training. They had to stay a little longer, but when I picked them up I was thrilled at their progress. I still had my homework to do with them when I got home, but we practiced. Now, I can take them with me anywhere and they listen and respond. One of my collies is severely anxious and I do keep the ecollar on him and do have to use it occassionally, but it keeps us all happy. I can walk the beach with them with no leash, hike, neighborhood walks, and I can take them to stores now. They are polite and gracious dogs. Everyone wants to take photos of Floyd and Alice! We are now able to enjoy each other's company and we all feel safe. I could not have done it without Chris and London!
Posted on GoogleEmma Jopson12 March 2023After our first consultation with Chris, my boyfriend and I knew we made the right decision with picking him to train our dog. As there are several dog training camps similar to Chris' in our area, one of the major points about Chris that stuck out to us was that he provided life long help. Our dog was 1.5 years old when he was trained by Chris and as he became older and matured, many behavioral challenges have come up. Chris is so responsive every time we reach out for help and even offered for us to come see him in person again if my dog's issues continued. These training camps are a huge financial commitment, but we could easily justify it knowing that we will always have Chris's support!
Posted on GoogleErica Singer18 February 2023Our pup was so happy and wild!!! My daughter and I tried everything in our wheelhouse to train our pup, but nothing was sticking. We were advised to go see Chris Park and man did we NOT REGRET! Our doggo came back still so happy and wild, yet it was controlled and now we can all coexist in our happy, loving home! Words truly cannot express how incredible grateful we all are for Chris Park and his incredible K-9 expertise team! Thank you so much for the love, care, discipline and training you gave our boy!! He even came back nice and clean!! 🤌🐶🥰Posted on GoogleColby Carlson17 February 2023We can’t thank Chris enough for everything him and his team accomplished with our 9 month old German Shepard. We can finally just live and enjoy life with our puppy.
Posted on GoogleTyler Jameson15 February 2023Chris and his team were amazing. I sent my high energy Belgian malinois to Chris for his two week training program. When buster came back to me I was blown away. He obeys every command and I couldn’t be more happy with the work Chris did. Once buster was returned Chris continued to follow up and meet with us to make sure I was properly implementing the training tools and excersises that he taught me. They genuinely care about the outcome of the dog, and in my case it couldn’t of been better. I would recommend Chris to anyone that wants to learn how to properly train they’re dog and see amazing results. My friends and family constantly compliment me on my well mannered well behaved dog, and as much as I’d love to take all the credit, I can’t, it’s entirely thanks to Chris and his team.
Posted on GoogleNicole Nelson23 January 2023We sent our dog Barley to Chris for the 2-3 week boarding program and we can't recommend it enough! Chris kept us updated with pictures and videos of Barley's progress throughout the weeks. When Barley was delivered back to us, London was excellent at teaching us all the commands Barley learned. Chris was super helpful during the follow up visits and was always very accessible if we had any questions in-between follow up appointments. Prior to the training we would rarely take Barley out in public, but now we can take him anywhere with confidence. Thank you Chris and London!Posted on GoogleElliot Veras8 January 2023Chris is great. I have a 6 month lab and decided to do onboarding with him. After 2 weeks she became a well trained puppy. He updated me during the 2 weeks of her progress. Highly recommend Chris. Thank you once again.Posted on GoogleLily R.6 January 2023If you are looking for a dog trainer, I highly recommend working with Chris and his assistant, London! You will not regret it. It’s been a little over a week since Mako, my 2 year old lab/hound mix graduated from Chris Park’s K9 program and I still can't believe how well-behaved and obedient he is. Mako is my very first dog and he’s been a part of my life since he was about 1 years old. Mako listens only when he wants to. If we had guests over, Mako was a complete nut. I had no control over him. It was embarrassing. Taking him on walks was a nightmare. He would pull on his leash aggressively, lunge and bark at every dog we saw, and refused to follow recall. He was more interested in distractions than me. I felt hopeless, stressed, and overwhelmed. I knew I needed professional help. So, I did some extensive Google searching and lo and behold, found Chris. I chose Chris because his reviews were unbelievable and I wanted to see for myself. I called Chris immediately for a consultation and within that same week, we met Chris for an evaluation. Chris explained what his program entailed and addressed my concerns. You can tell he is passionate about dog training and wants to help both dog and owner. With no doubt, I wanted Chris to work with Mako and I. I opted for the 2-3 week board and train program vs the private lessons. Chris informed me there was a bit of a waitlist for the boarding program. I had no problem waiting— this definitely was a sign that Chris is the real deal! Chris showed me techniques to use on our walks to help minimize the leash pulling in the meantime. This tip helped tremendously. I was nervous but also excited about sending Mako off. More so nervous, sending him off to live with a stranger for the first time, but I knew I had to trust Chris and his team. Once Mako was boarded, Chris updated me with photos and videos of Mako, which I greatly appreciated because I missed him so much. Chris notified me that Mako would benefit from staying another week (a total of 4 weeks). He felt Mako was not quite ready to come home yet. Of course hearing that was difficult, but I trusted Chris’s judgment. Chris could have returned Mako to me after 3 weeks, but he didn’t. This truly shows he cares about dog training and meeting your expectations! On drop-off day, London did a great job explaining to me how to effectively communicate with Mako. Both Chris and London were very patient and corrected me where I struggled. This took some time to get used to. Fast forward, Mako no longer pulls on his leash or cares about other dogs on our walks. He focuses on me and not the distractions. I nearly cried because of how much he improved. Never in a million years did I ever think Mako would be able to walk off leash and follow recall! Mako is so much happier and the best version of himself! Chris and London truly changed our lives for the better and I cannot thank them enough for this experience! My friends and family were all amazed at how much this program transformed Mako and they even joked that he’s not the same dog. I still can’t believe it. This program is well worth every penny and wait! Chris helped me gain confidence in being a dog owner. I am forever grateful for that! Thank you!
Posted on GoogleAnna Colletta6 January 2023We sent our puppy to board with Chris for training . When she came back we had a whole new dog. Thought we have to test her DNA to make sure she is the same dog!!! No one betterPosted on GoogleRobert Hackett30 December 2022My wife and I did the unimaginable of getting a new puppy, Henry, (labradoodle) 6 months before our baby was due. We have always loved our dog and his excited personality but we were having trouble with getting him to focus or listen without a treat in our hand and even that only worked some of the time..... He was a leash puller and a bark at any and everything kind of dog. After a few overwhelming months of our pup waking our baby from barking and not coming when called, we found Chris through a google search. We were immediately impressed at the comments left below. We actually spent time looking for a critical review because we were met with such overwhelmingly positive comments. None could be found. After meeting Chris and watching him interact with our dog during an intro session, it became clear that he was a dog lover and dogs naturally gravitated to him. He asked us what our goals were and assured us that he could help. The puppy boot camp went by fast and over the time Henry was away, Chris sent us several videos sharing his progress. A few weeks later Chris returned Henry to us. Now Henry walks off leash, wagging his tail, next to my wife as she pushes the stroller through our town. He runs free and happy on his time but also will stay close when asked and will come when he is called. When someone is at the door, Henry has learned to sit patiently until it is his time to say hello. He has come a long way in a very short period of time! Bottom-line, we are so grateful for our experience with Chris and his team and have been very excited about our investment in our puppy and our family. We hope this review helps other young families find Chris, we are confident he can be a game changer for you too!Posted on GoogleJeffrey Scott Lannon22 December 2022Working with Chris was great and very educational. He did an outstanding job for my dog. My dog Charlie is well behaved and listens so good now. Apples and oranges in comparison today. I would highly recommend him again. Thank you
Posted on GoogleJessica Wrigley18 December 2022Chris and his team are amazing! Our dog has anxiety, and was afraid of other dogs after being attacked by one in our neighborhood. Our pup was super reactive to other dogs and people, and was very hard to control. After several weeks with Chris and his team, our dog is much calmer and happier! He is able to be off leash safely, much more obedient, and we are thrilled. I highly recommend Chris Park K9.Posted on GoogleThomas Betros18 December 2022My wife and I live on the 2nd floor of an apartment complex and our standard poodle had extreme anxiety entering and exiting our building. She would also be reactive on the leash whenever we took her for walks. Our anxiety levels were through the roof for the first year of having her. We did not know if training would solve the problem and were hesitant to move forward with it. Chris invited us in for an initial consultation so that we knew exactly what to expect during the entire process. Based on the initial consultation, he gave us confidence in his process and that it would be the right decision. We sent our dog Emi to the 2 week overnight training while we were out of the country. Chris would send us videos and pictures to make sure we knew she was making progress. When we got back and picked her up she was a completely different dog. Her fun, loving personality was still there, but she was more obedient and much calmer in what used to be high stress situations for her. She was not perfect though, mostly because we still needed to be trained on how to effectively use the training collar. Chris was able to meet us at our apartment complex to teach us (which was a huge help), and was able to meet us again to make sure Emi was responding to the training. Thankfully, Chris has very high standards for his work and sees every client through and will make sure they are properly trained before graduating the dog. Chris has given us peace of mind, which we did not think would be possible 6 months ago. Chris is a master of his craft and is 100% worth it. Thanks Chris!
Posted on GoogleGreg Delaney17 December 2022Pretty remarkable with this man and his team can do in a very short amount of time. We were on the verge of having to give up essentially a member of our family and with help from Chris and his team today we have a very productive member of the family back with us. Forget Cesar Milon this guy is who you want to go to. Truly impressed!! The Dacey’sPosted on GoogleBailey Marshall28 November 2022We heard about Chris Park after speaking with a couple who had a dog that was walking around off leash in Boston’s busy Seaport district. We couldn’t believe that the dog was walking by its owners side and was not reacting to any distractions (cars, loud noises, other dogs, etc). They gave all of the credit to Chris Park, so we decided to give him a call between this word of mouth recommendation and the fantastic Google reviews. We can confidently say that we have a whole new dog after sending our 1 year old Golden Retriever to Chris Park. Prior to training with Chris, our golden was a few leash puller (especially when he saw other dogs) and had anxiety around any type of wheel (strollers, grocery carts, etc). After 3 weeks with Chris, not only are these problems completely solved, but we can confidently walk our dog off leash and recall him in any situation. We have confidence that our dog will listen in any situation, which in turn, opens up many opportunities to do all the things with our dog we’ve always wanted to do, like walking off leash on a hike, going on runs, walking on the beach etc. After getting to know Chris, it is clear that his love for dogs is reflected in his work. In addition to training your dog for 3 weeks, he does extra sessions with you after you pick your dog up to make sure that YOU feel confident in your ability to continue your dog’s training. He is patient and takes the time to answer any and every question you might have. We couldn’t be happier that we sent our pup to Chris. Similar to how we found out about Chris, in just 2 weeks after picking our dog up, we’ve already received compliments from strangers on the street about how well behaved our dog is. We’ve already told these folks about Chris Park, and look forward to telling many more!
Posted on GoogleStephen W.27 November 2022I have had countless times where playing with my husky unleashed results in uncertainty on whether he would run off never to be seen again to whether he would jump on a person or another dog. After working with Chris, that all changed. I not only unleash the pooch with confidence but trust that he won't cause any harm to others or run off to god knows where. He listens to commands and this has resulted in my feeling confident in my dog and myself. Chris himself is both responsive and is straight forward with his training that there is no ambiguity. He is both kind to patrons and animals a like. If you want great training with perfect results, this is the dog trainer for you.Posted on GoogleFreddie S23 November 2022Otto and I learned a lot with our training sessions. Can’t thank Chris enough and would recommend the training to anyone interested in improving their dogs behavior!
Posted on GoogleNatasha Soesanto18 November 2022Chris and London did absolute wonders with my rescue pittie, Willis. When I first got Willis, he was very fearful and extremely dog-reactive, lunging and trying to bite them, taking him on walks (which should've been the highlights of my day) became the most anxiety-inducing. It got to the point where I thought I would've had to surrender Willis back to the rescue because I didn't think I was a competent enough owner. But then Willis spent 3 weeks with Chris and London, who spent extensive time rehabilitating him with other dogs. I cried the first time I was sent a video of Willis playing with several other dogs. Chris not only trained Willis, but also trained me to become more confident in my handling of Willis. Now Willis is completely muzzle-trained and although i keep a strict eye on him whenever we're at the park, I've let him off-leash without worry, to roam about and sniff to his heart's content. Chris' program has elevated both Willis' and my quality of life, thus I will always recommend Chris Park for all types of training and especially for reactive dogs!
Posted on GoogleLeah O'Brien16 November 2022I was at my absolute wits end. My 11month old golden retriever was too hard for me to successfully train. My brother in law recommended Chris and as soon as he had availability I took it. Although two weeks felt like a long time for her to be away, she came back a different dog. She listened, she responded to direction and she was much calmer. Although the dog was trained, the next step was training me. I think I was chris’ biggest challenge. But, he had patience and really explained the importance of each command. I cannot recommend him and his team enough!! He has helped to change our home life! He has given us the tools to enjoy having a puppy!!
Posted on GoogleKimberly Campbell27 October 2022Our family thought long and hard about the correct way to train our Finley. After some research, the top choice appeared to be Chris Park K-9 Dog Training. Chris and his team came highly recommended. Having our dog away from the family to train was difficult. However, while Finely was "at camp" Chris provided us with texted updates and videos. The family loved seeing the progress that was being made. Once Finely was ready to come home, the harder work started - training our family to interact with this well behaved dog! Chris was encouraging and supportive the entire way. Training is an ongoing effort, however Chris' training system works beautifully. Chris and his team certainly produced the results they promised! Finely came back with excellent behavior and even filled with more love then ever before. Our family could not be anymore thrilled with the training Finely received. Thank you Chris and team for everything!Posted on GoogleMichelle Diaz16 October 2022Cannot thank Chris and his team enough for the level of training for our 19 month old Rottweiler Luna. She is a sassy, strong willed and smart dog that was in need of obedience training and we are so happy we found Chris. He took the time and was very disciplined and straightforward. We were very nervous leaving Luna for a few weeks but so happy we did. He sent videos and updates that made us feel reassured. Wonderful experience and highly recommended.
Posted on GoogleLexi Leahy15 October 2022First off, my dog is TERRIFIED of new people and places with MAJOR anxiety. She lives at college with me and has a lot of difficulties when it comes to listening when she gets startled by something. She is scared of any new nosies she wasn’t familiar with, new people, bikes, trains, cars that weren’t my families, and skateboards. I was recommended by a coworker to try his doggie boot camp. Rosie is a one and a half year old Golden Retriever. She was there for a whole month working tremendously with the team! When I went back to pick her up, they gave amazing instructions and make sure we got it by practicing our timing and knowing what commands mean certain things. Rosie then went back to school and we worked SOOO hard. But she knew what EXACTLY was required of her after the training, she just needed to transfer that I have the authority now. We had two follow ups each a week after picking her up, to make sure we are doing the training efficiently! As of now, we have OFFICIALLY passed his doggie boot camp, I have learned about myself and where my downfalls were that added to my dogs anxiety. Chris Park and London were AMAZING!! Rosie can now lay down and stay in her position with a bike, skateboard, a group of people on a college tour and MANY more new school buildings that she used to refuse to go into! She now allows new men and women to pet her, although we still have some slip ups, but we are working on it :)! She knows her commands SOOOO well that at dog parks when we go if I call her, she immediately comes back to me no matter WHAT! I can walk her LEASHLESS with a dog walking by us and she knows that she has to stay with me until I give her the OK to say hello, which she always used to jump around on the leash basically DRAGGING me to the dog! This training is WORTH EVERYTHING!! I was absolutely TERRIFIED for my pup, and I was worried this would make her anxiety worse! I am worried NO MORE, she was treated like FAMILY there!! THIS IS THE PLACE ANY DOG SHOULD GET DOGGIE BOOTCAMP! THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING, I PROMISE! I love you guys, thank you from the bottom of my heart! 💕
Posted on GoogleAmy Shea4 October 2022There are simply not enough words to describe the amazing experience that I had with Chris. I have always been hesitant to invest so much into a trainer however, the time Chris spent on both myself and my dog Toby was worth every single penny. Toby is a 2yr Bernedoodle who used to pull me down the street, eat everything off of the ground, aggressively bark at any animal on TV and the list goes on.. After spending 2 weeks with Chris, Toby is the same lovable dog but now follows my every command without fail and can be taken almost anywhere off leash. My relationship with my dog has been absolutely transformed and it has changed my life. I was updated throughout the entire experience and constantly reassured of Toby’s progress. I would recommend Chris to anyone I know.
Posted on GoogleLorre Wolf28 September 2022We found Chris from a friend. Our 3 year old standard poodle litter mates fell apart during lockdown, lost all their manners. They snarled at people and dogs, terrorized our cats, pulled and lunged on the lead. Gentle training and positive reinforcement didn’t make a dent. When they bit a visitor to our home I was done. We sent them to Chris for more than 3 weeks, and they’re different dogs! They understand their place in our pack, and with each other. I finally enjoy walking them! Thanks Chris and team, we couldn’t have done it without you! Lorre, Phil, Remy & Toby
Posted on GoogleJulie Anathan16 September 2022Hiring Chris was an absolute game changer for my life with 2 dogs. I am so grateful I took the risk and hired him! He came recommended by my neighbor whose dog had improved tremendously after training. While the idea of an e-collar was unappealing, what was more unappealing was the thought of living with two dogs who are adorable, yes, but who barked inside a lot, pulled me in every direction on their leashes, and couldn’t be left off leash because I was afraid they’d run away. After training with Chris, they can be off leash for walks, romps in the park, and are quieter at home. Chris and his staff are experienced, skilled, accountable, and truly love dogs. They’ve been flexible with scheduling, and are responsive to texts and calls. Thank you, Chris and team!
Posted on GoogleJulie Bohanon3 July 2022Holy Moly! We have two dogs from an island called the azores who were, let’s just say not up to our liking and we needed help. I can’t say enough about Chris and his services. We did the weekly personal sessions and couldn’t not be more impressed with the results we have today. Chris no only is a secret dog whisper but he takes the time to make sure you as the owner understands why everything is happening. Could not say enough good things about this experience. If we could have given this 10 stars, we would have. Chris thank you again!!!
Posted on GoogleErika Elliott29 June 2022The best training!! Scout is a new man and Chris is awesome at updating during the training process and ensuring success after the training is complete by having several follow up sessions until you feel comfortable. I feel I gained new tools to continue to train my dog at home. Would 10/10 recommend and send friends!
Posted on GoogleGary Demetriou28 June 2022My six month old German Shepard and i just received our graduation certificate. Chris has done an outstanding job of training both my dog and me to be able to live in complete harmony together. His knowledge of dog training is only surpassed by his love for the animals. It has been an enjoyable and informative experience.Posted on GoogleBrian Forrestall26 June 2022Chris and his team were amazing in how they helped train our puppy and us. Chris and his team treated our dog like she was their own. We are impressed in just a short time how quickly Chris was able to get our puppy to quickly respond to her commands. I highly recommend Chris Park K9 to anyone who needs help in training their dog.Posted on Googlejerry wetterskog26 June 2022Chris Park & his staff do more than train dogs - they change lives. Before we called Chris we had hit a wall in our training of our young feist. We had made some progress in shaping her behavior but not nearly enough. We were at the point of questioning if we were going to be able to keep our energetic little friend. That’s when we reached out to Chris. Chris & staff trained both our dog & us! As a result, we have a delightful exuberant dog. We can give her the freedom to run free because we are able to trust her. When we call her, she returns to us like a bullet! She is still silly and fun and full of life but we can now take her anywhere because she is so well-behaved. We frequently receive compliments on her exemplary behavior and appreciate Chris’s ongoing accessibility when we have questions. We will always be grateful to Chris & crew for guiding us to a healthy happy & respectful relationship with our little girl. Our home has returned to a calm & happy place.
Posted on GoogleKate Gilhuly23 June 2022I am very happy with Chris Park's training. Our pomsky, Loki, is very fun and sweet, but high-spirited and likes to get into everything and everyone's business. Also, he can be very committed to his own agenda. I have often felt like things were out of control, and I was always on edge with him in public, or having him around non-dog people. After two weeks with Chris, his recall is excellent, and he is relaxed and generally much more responsive. As a result, I am less on edge with him and we can have more fun together. I was hesitant about getting the e-collar, and worried that I wouldn't be able to use it effectively (read: push the button). Chris encouraged me a lot to be clear and consistent in my communication with Loki and it seems to be working. When we went back for training, Loki was always very happy to see Chris. Chris was very clear that he is available to support us going forward. All in all, I am very happy we made this decision—I think it has set Loki and me on the path to a stronger connection, more fun, less worry.Posted on GoogleMarilyn Lozano20 June 2022When I first brought Comet to Christ I can barely walk him in public. He would bark at everyone and charge at any dog that walk near us. Now I can take him anywhere and walk through the busy street in Boston.Posted on GoogleJacriya Larson16 June 2022Chris and London have been amazing to work with. We opted for the board and train program for our hyper 1.5 year old husky/german shepherd. When we picked her up, we noticed a complete transformation in her behavior. Before the training, she was nippy and destructive and walks were very difficult. She is now obedient but also the same loving dog. We can have her off-leash without the fear of her taking off. Chris and London were very patient and helpful throughout the entire process. Highly recommended!Posted on Googlekatelyn martin15 June 2022We adopted our pup Oliver when he was 8 months old. From the beginning Oliver struggled. He was insecure, extremely leash reactive and when he saw other dogs he would loose all control and bark at them until they were no longer in sight. I was unable to take him on any enjoyable walks, the dog park was out of the question and forget about taking him to outdoor dog friendly places. I was referred to Chris and after reading other great reviews I decided to give him a call. My partner and I decided that the board and train program was the best option for us but we were very skeptical. Chris was professional, knowledgeable and incredibly easy to work with. After we dropped Oliver off, Chris sent us updates with photos and videos. After the two weeks, we picked Oliver up and he was a new man!!! But then it was our turn to learn! Chris taught us everything we needed to know and he made it fun for both us and our pup! He is now the most well behaved pup! we can take him anywhere with us, he loves playing with his new doggie friends and listens when we give him commands. I can not say enough great things about Chris. If you are having trouble with your dog, please give Chris a call. There is a waiting period because he is so busy, but TRUST me, it will be worth it! Oliver is the same goofy boy he always was but only now he has manners, listens and knows how to play and interact with other dogs! My family can't thank Chris Park enough for transforming our Oliver into a great dog who is now living his best life!!!Posted on GoogleConor Sweeney11 June 2022My wife and I sent our German Short Haired Pointer to get trained with Chris and we could not be happier with the results! We tried multiple other trainers at first and had no success but Chris’ thorough, detailed and consistent approach has transformed our dog. Chris was extremely accommodating from start to finish with our irregular schedule. Additionally, we received update videos, instructions and very helpful follow up sessions which allowed us to have any questions answered and be comfortable executing the training cues ourselves. Highly recommend!!Posted on GoogleJane Tschirhart5 June 2022A great big Thank You to Chris for working with us and our newest pup Bailey, an Australian Labradoodle. We have had 5 dogs (3 Dalmatians, a Bichon and a standard Poodle) over many years and they were lovable and fun… but only at home. Walks were really being dragged, listening only happened when they chose to, etc.. I had seen so many well behaved and trained pups out in public and I really wanted that for our Bailey. We had never used a trainer before but had heard from people about who they had used, both pro and con. I started my search and found some of the other trainers but one name kept popping up with 5 star reviews! I was sold. Bailey was only 4 months at the time and becoming just a bit of a terror with not listening, barking, biting, chewing anything he could find etc. I thought it might be time to stop that with proper training. Chris was responsive, answered any questions that came up and, helped me when I wasn’t quite doing things consistently. I really appreciated that. Bailey has graduated from Chris’s program. We now have homework with Bailey to continue and reinforce the solid foundation that Chris has instilled in him. We believe we chose the best when signing Bailey up with Chris Park K9. Chris and his team, London and Christina, are the best! Jane, Tim and Bailey🐾
Posted on GoogleAngela Chandler3 June 2022Do NOT waste your time and money with any other trainer. Chris is AMAZING! Charlie is a 1 year old Australian Labradoodle who just completed his 2 week training. Chris and his team had him for 2 weeks and I can confidently say that Charlie has been transformed into an obedient dog who now has the ability to walk off leash. The only difficult part of the process was not having him with us for those 2 weeks but again, well worth it. I would recommend Chris Park & his team to anyone who wants their dog to be the absolute best version of themselves and I would certainly turn to Chris & his team in the future!!
Posted on GoogleJacke Adams29 May 2022Best thing we did for our dog was this training!! We would not of been able to have such a happy obedient German Shepherd without Chris and his team, they were excellent. Thank you!!
Posted on GoogleLisa W18 May 2022Chris is amazing! Our family decided to bring a yellow lab into our lives and wow we were struggling. Our puppy Josie would only listen to commands when she felt like it, would jump on people, counter surf, eat sticks and rocks outside, and tackle my young kids. Our kids were nervous while in the same room as the dog and we knew we needed help. We worked with Chris and he transformed her into a well behaved puppy. She listens to commands, can be completely off leash, stopped counter surfing and jumping on people. The kids are now laughing and playing with her and I can now change a diaper without Josie getting into mischief. We are beyond grateful to Chris. He is seriously a dog whisperer and I would highly recommend him.Posted on Googlemaria craig6 May 2022I am beyond grateful for the experience my dog Winston had with Chris and his team and I am so amazed by the transformation I have witnessed in such a short period of time. He went from a dog who pulled non-stop on the leash and bolting the minute he was off it, chasing moving cars, being destructive getting into things he shouldn’t and showing aggression if you dared to take it away…to a fully disciplined, obedient dog who is so much more manageable and pleasurable to be around! Although it was a 2-week training it didn’t end the day we picked him up. Chris did weekly check-ins with me via phone calls and in-person visits. Any question I had, he replied with an answer within 10 minutes giving me great advice and constant reassurance. I am forever grateful for this amazing experience and I HIGHLY recommend Chris to anyone who is in a similar situation as I was. The dedication, devotion, love, and passion he and his team have for dogs and the program he offers is truly immeasurable. Chris gives a whole new meaning to “the dog whisperer”. He is, hands down, THE BEST!!!Posted on GooglePaul Adams3 May 2022Guy knows his stuff.Posted on GoogleCody Couture1 May 2022If we could give more then five stars we would. We sent our one year old Vizsla. He stayed for two weeks and came back a different dog. Not only that but we became better owners. Chris and his colleague worked with both us and our dog. During our dog’s time away Chris would send updates. When our dog was ready to come Chris continued to work with us even taking phone calls with questions that we had. The time we had with Chris was invaluable. We feel comfortable allowing our dog to be off leash, exploring. This experience has changed our lives for the absolute better! Thank you so much to Chris and his team!Posted on GoogleMichaela McCarthy25 April 2022Chris is Amazing! He trained both of my dogs. One of my dogs was petrified of everything and could not be let off leash without her taking off. With Chris's help she is now able to be off leash. She is a completely different dog than she was before. I had her for a year before she went to Chris and could not make improvement on her nervousness or her being able to be off leash. With Chris and Landon she came back with amazing progress. She know's her commands so well. He truly puts so much time into working with your dog and you to make sure you are comfortable/confident. I am so appreciative for Chris and would recommend him to anyone.Posted on GoogleJessie Coffield24 April 2022Chris is an incredible trainer! I was skeptical about using an e-collar with our dog Thor…after meeting with Chris and learning his philosophy I felt so much better. He really teaches your dog to think and understand commandsPosted on GoogleMichael Nowak24 April 2022Cannot recommend Chris’s training program more. He teaches dogs how to think and owners how to properly communicate with their dogs. We can now walk our large dog off leash in the city with the confidence that we are in control. We have more control and he has more freedom.Posted on GoogleBalasubramanian V17 April 2022Chris trained my labradoodle who would never listen to our commands. Anyone who needs dog training at whatever point they are in the dog’s life should go to Chris.Posted on GoogleTheresa F6 April 2022My husband and I cannot speak highly enough about our experience with Chris and his assistant, London. Our Bella is super hyperactive but also very sensitive. We went into this process with all the fears of overprotective dog parents. Afraid the training would be too hard on her, afraid it would change her, afraid it would NOT change her, afraid it would be too hard for us to maintain, afraid that it would work with every dog except ours. After all, how could she possibly come back well behaved when we have SO many individual challenges with her? Now that we’ve completed the program we can say with confidence that every single one of our fears were alleviated. Bella is our same silly snuggly baby girl but she is also now so well behaved and wonderful to be with. We never imagined our “sprinter” could be off leash but now she plays freely in the backyard and we have no concerns. No more climbing rope leashes, harnesses, or carabiners! And in the house, she is now polite and sweet (no more power struggles). We’re super excited because we dreamed of taking her with us on our camping and cross-country trips and now we feel completely confident that we can! Bella stayed there for 2.5 weeks. Together, Chris and London were so patient with the three of us, worked through all our concerns, and gave our Bella the attention and extra time she needed since she is so sensitive. Chris also spent time with my husband and me until we felt confident as her puppy parents. We highly recommend!
Posted on Googledvo2 April 2022Chris and his team were awesome in helping us train our first dog. We now have so much more fun with our dog and she is having more freedom and is safer as a result! Thanks ChrisPosted on GoogleA Sullivan29 March 2022I can"t even begin to tell anyone how training with Chris and London transformed the quality of the relationship with our white GSD, Lucy. We brought Lucy to Chris when she was a year old. Lucy was nippy, jumping on people, horrible trying to walk her on a leash and frankly there were times that I cried because we couldn't handle her. We did an evaluation with Chris and even during the evaluation I learned a lot so I mustered up and decided to have Lucy participate in the boarding/ training program. It was one of the best decisions I ever made! Lucy boarded for four weeks but that was because I wanted her to learn some specific skills as to become a service dog. Lucy learned many, many skills but more importantly I learned to be a confident handler. This skill in itself is INVALUABLE. HOWEVER, it required work, and Chris is a task master but it is his ability to teach and correct me that made this incredible transformation possible. We (Lucy and I ) learned skills by working with Chris in two to three months, compared to training my previous GSD's (RIP) that took 12 -16 months to accomplish. I can honestly say I am astounded at what we accomplished in such a short amount of time. I received routine videos of Lucy's training while she was boarded which was very reassuring. Shout out to London who taught me "doglish". I could go on and on about how positive this decision was to put my loved but out of control Lucy in Chris's hands.. You cannot go wrong by using Chris's services !Posted on GoogleNora Phillips6 March 2022Chris' training was life changing for us. We adopted an Akita puppy who was living up to the breed's reputation as stubborn and difficult to train. She stayed with Chris for 3 weeks and returned incredibly well trained, it was worth every penny. Our puppy learned and responds to key commands, she walks well on a leash and off leash... we have always loved her, but we now enjoy her much more. We're very grateful to Chris for his continued guidance with our growing puppy.Posted on GoogleJohn DeBella20 February 2022Chris is simply amazing! Sampson is an incredible German Shepherd who had some rough edges. Difficult to walk, would go from 0-60 in no time flat and would overwhelm our two other dogs. We've worked with Chris in the past and when we decided enough was enough, we gave him a call. Talk about transformation! We can't describe in words how effective Chris' methods are, both for Sampson and for us as handlers. Sampson is extremely happy and confident now and is as calm as you could hope for with a 20 month old GSD. We highly recommend Chris to anyone who wants to learn how to effectively communicate with their dog and get results! Thanks Chris, you have been a game changer for us!
Posted on GoogleLacey Valek13 February 2022We sent our 1.5 year old sheepadoodle to Chris for training. We had done other training in the past where we thought we had made some progress but it was nothing compared to Chris. We picked our dog up and were amazed at the progress. He listens so much better and we can have him off leash without worrying, even in the city where there are a lot of distractions. I was most impressed with his ability to navigate a very busy home depot and still follow every command. Chris also helped us understand our dogs nervous tendencies more. I will admit that it is hard sending your dog away for 2 weeks but Chris does a nice job keeping you updated on their progress via text. He also trains you as the owner which is the most important part. Lastly, he will continue to do sessions with you until you have passed his test which was appreciated. We highly recommend Chris and his team!Posted on GoogleSameer Sule13 February 2022I highly recommend Chris and his team. We sent our 2-year-old female German Shepherd Luna, for a 2-week board and train program with Chris. Right from the first evaluation meeting with Chris, I felt that Luna was going to be in good hands. Chris was extremely professional and took the time to explain his program and methodology. He patiently answered all my questions and set proper expectations for optimal results. During her stay with Chris, he kept us regularly updated on her progress by sending videos. After Luna’s 2-week program, we had couple of follow up sessions, where Chris taught me the right way to give the commands that Luna had learnt and corrected me when I wasn’t doing it exactly right. It is amazing to see Luna follow all the commands. Training with Chris has been the best thing for Luna and us. Even after the training is done, Chris is available to answer any questions and assist as needed.
