Meet the Owner: Chris Park
My name is Chris Parkiotis, and I am a professional K9 trainer based in Boston, MA. With over 25 years of experience, I specialize in canine behavior and obedience training. I believe in building deep and effective communication between owners and their dogs by focusing on mental engagement rather than just physical control.

FAQs – North Andover Dog Training
Do you offer in-home training in North Andover?
Yes, we regularly meet clients at their homes or at local spots like Weir Hill, schools, or trailheads. We train where your dog lives and walks — not just in sterile classrooms.
How do I choose between Board & Train and private lessons?
We’ll help you decide during your consultation. Board & Train is ideal for faster results and behavior resets, while private lessons are great for hands-on owners and mild to moderate issues.
What breeds do you work with?
We work with every breed — from goldens and shepherds to pit bulls, working dogs, rescues, and mixed-breeds. Training is adapted to each dog’s temperament and drive.
Can you help with aggressive or anxious dogs?
Yes. We specialize in leash reactivity, stranger danger, anxiety-based behaviors, and frustration. With the right tools and structure, big changes happen fast.
