We can’t thank Chris enough for all he did with Migo! Migo has been home for a week now and is doing amazing! Before Chris I didn’t feel like we had control of Migo and that he ran the household. Now I feel like I can bring Migo anywhere and have full control over him during any situation.

Words cannot express our gratitude for the time Chris has spent with us and our dog, Pharah. The progress we observed with each weekly session was amazing. Pharah came from a rescue in Qatar and we quickly learned that in addition to having a ton of personality, she is also a natural born runner who will sprint towards anything that crosses her path! We knew immediately after welcoming her into our home that for her safety and our sanity we would need someone who could teach us how to allow her the freedom to run while also keeping her safe. Upon the recommendation of a friend who raved about the training she had done with her German Shepard and Chris Park, I called to schedule a consultation. Within that first hour of meeting with Chris, I was given the tools necessary to make our walks enjoyable with absolutely no more pulling on the leash. In the weeks that followed, my husband and I looked forward to showing Chris how responsive Pharah was to what she was being taught. Chris has a true gift for the work he does and made the entire training process a success for all of us. Pharah can now spend endless amounts of her energy running on the beach thinking she’s faster than a flying seagull while we can be confident she will return to us with just a simple command. Put your trust in Chris Park’s training, you will not regret it!

Chris and his team are amazing! They have transformed my 8 month old puppy from a wild, uncontrollable dog to a sweet obedient, lovable dog. She is like a new dog that acts like a mature lab. We could not be happier!!! Thank you Chris

The absolute best training and worth every penny. I contacted Chris in desperation as we were covered in bruises and band aids from our puppy. He was a terror and the word "no" only made him crazier and more defiant. I was beginning to think there may be something wrong with our dog and wondering if we made a mistake in getting him. We were exhausted as we were making 2 potty runs a night and starting our day at 3 am because at that point he wouldn`t stop barking and wanted out of his crate. To say we were stressed is an understatement. We tried pet store training and a personal trainer, but nothing worked. When we met with Chris for the first time, he gave us tips to stop the biting. It worked! We didn`t realize the training was going to be over night, otherwise we would have signed our puppy up on the spot. We went home and thought about the overnight option. We decided to go for it as we desperately needed help. Chris sent us pictures and videos every other day, which we looked forward to. In every video, our puppy looked happy. He was learning too. We never could have been prepared for pick up day. We were so excited to see him and truly amazed at how well he listened. We couldn`t believe it was the same dog. We no longer have him gated or in crates. He has the run of the house and gets along with the kittens. He listens to us, comes when we call him and is the best dog. He is also off leash trained, which was an added bonus. We knew he was smart, but never could have imagined a dog this well behaved. He still has the same crazy, spunky personality, but now he listens. We practice every day still, but even when he doesn`t have his collar on, he obeys and does the commands. I don`t know how you do it, but thank you so much for helping us to have the dog we so desperately wanted.

Chris Parks and his team are excellent trainers. They worked with my three year old Bernese Mountain Dog, Sully, for three weeks, and while it was difficult to be away from him for so long, it was absolutely worth it. Chris frequently updated us on Sully’s progress and we appreciated the videos he sent us. Chris’s knowledge and conviction allowed Sully to learn so much and become much more obedient at home. I was especially grateful that Chris taught my husband and I the best way to communicate with Sully, which was critical for upkeeping the training he just received. We are very happy we chose Chris Parks to train our dog because Chris loves what he does and our dog loves him and his team. I would absolutely trust this team again with any future fur babies and would recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and passionate dog trainer.

We have a rambunctious Boston Terrier puppy who loves to eat everything in sight, jump, run and basically raise hell. Going for a walk was a nightmare with him either pulling on the leash or just laying down and not moving. Chris came highly recommended from a couple of my friends. We opted to board and train. After close to 3 weeks, we brought home a pup who was much more relaxed in general and is responsive to our commands. We are able to have him off leash (which I would have never dreamed of prior to him training with Chris & London) and can actually enjoy a walk with him. I have already recommended Chris to a few of my friends who have new pups and will continue to do so. I really appreciate his no-nonsense approach and his patience with training us. We are very happy with our results and highly recommend him!

I did private lessons with Chris and my dog a few months ago, and I am so happy I did. I don’t have enough good things to say about Chris. He made it a fun and enjoyable experience, and I feel as though I have a much better relationship with my dog, because of him. I also had questions after finishing lessons, and Chris was available to help. It’s great to know that he is in it for the long-run, and I feel as though I can go to him if I ever need anything. I highly recommend Chris to anyone!

Where do I begin with how amazing Chris Park is? He is a master of his art and our dog is a completely different animal thanks to him! We met Chris in December 2021 when we had decided to do boarding training for our one year-old German Shepherd, Newman. A few months earlier Newman had bitten one of my daughters friends, resulting in several stitches to his arm. It was a very traumatic event for us all. I immediately told my family that we needed to rehome him. After discussion and debate we agreed to give proper training a shot. It was his last chance with us. Newman spent two weeks with Chris and his team. When we saw the first videos of Newman during training we couldn’t believe the difference! He went from a dog that was very, very high energy, insecure, anxious, couldn’t walk on or off the leash, barked at every dog in the neighborhood, etc. to a dog who obeyed commands. Could this be a miracle? Nope; Chris Park! Chris was amazing with the post training teaching to my entire family. We met with him for two hours on the day we picked Newman up; reviewing all the new tools we would use with Newman. We followed up a week later and then a week after that. It gave us an opportunity to practice, then review with Chris, practice and then review some more. It was the perfect way for us to learn by doing. My family is so grateful to have learned how to be the best dog owners we can be and Newman has learned what we expect from him. This was THE BEST decision we ever made. Chris is second to none! Thank you Chris, from the bottom of our hearts!! Danielle, Jason, Gaby, Avery, Charlotte & Newman

My 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!

We have a 20 month old male Newfoundland, Maxwell, our second over the last 30 years or so. Our first was a female which was very well behaved and fairly docile for such a large dog. Surprisingly, although from the same bloodline, Maxwell is very different, more active, somewhat stubborn, and seemingly slow to learn. We had heard good things about Chris’s training from folks in Andover and visited him for an initial evaluation. We were amazed to see Chris take control of Maxwell and almost immediately change his behavior. We enrolled Maxwell is Chris’ boarding/training program and were continually impressed with Maxwell’s progress as seem in Chris’s frequent messages and videos and several visits that we made. Funny that at the end of his training period I thought that I’d follow through on my own. On the contrary, Chris quickly showed me that although Maxwell now knew his commands, that I now needed some training as well. We had Several weekly follow up sessions with Chris where both Maxwell and I were evaluated and received additional coaching from

I highly Chris Park K9! He provided our dog and family with the training we all needed to have a well behaved dog able to enjoy walks without the need for a leash. He also helped our dog overcome her anxiety over being around other dogs. Thanks Chris Park K9!

I believe I speak for most when I say its a difficult decision to separate from our dogs for a controversial treatment program. Well, it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. This team, Chris and London are incredibly talented with mitigating bad behaviors and loving your dog simultaneously. Chris being the bad cop and London being the good. There was not a question or concern that they both could not answer. We are now better owners with our well behaved dog thanks to this dynamic duo.

If you need help with your dog, Chris is your answer! We adopted a puppy in January that was giving us a lot of trouble. We love Riley but there hadn’t been a day that I didn’t cry over the difficulties he was exhibiting. I came across Chris’ website and reviews about him on Google. I was so skeptical because of ALL of the 5 star reviews. I didn’t think anyone could be THAT good. We decided to take a chance with Chris and sent Riley for the 2-3 week training. We dropped our puppy off to a stranger, crossed our fingers and hoped for the best. Chris sent videos of Riley’s training which made us feel better showing that he was being taken care of and of his progress, he looked like a different dog. He looked like he was so proud of himself and enjoyed the positive response from his trainer, London. Chris decided that Riley needed a few more days than just the two weeks of training which amazed us. We thought Chris would just keep Riley for the two weeks to make it easier for himself but he actually kept Riley since he felt Riley needed it. When Riley was ready, we were trained on how to work with him. To our surprise it took about an hour and a half, taking the time to make sure we were doing everything correctly for consistency, giving us with the tools necessary to make us successful. Over the next three weeks, Chris came to our home and met us at Home Depot for at least an hour each a week and continued to train my husband and I helping us with what we were doing incorrectly. Chris always took care to ask us where we needed help with Riley and concentrated on those issues. I mentioned something we needed help with after Riley graduated, Chris came by the house on his own time and will be taking Riley to work with him for another day. Even though the training is done, Chris is still there for us answering my texts and calls. He and London are very professional and care about their puppies and families. We’re incredibly happy we hired Chris. Go for it, you can’t go wrong!

We needed some help with training our adopted 2 year old pit bull mix named Penny. She was out of control, afraid of her crate, and not fully house trained. Chris and his assistant London helped Penny to become the best family dog for us. We thank them for their patience with her (and us!). She is such a sweet girl who makes us smile every day.😊

We would highly recommend Chris Park Training to anyone that is looking for help with training their dog. Chris and his colleague London are talented trainers who obviously love their jobs and the dogs that are entrusted to their care. If we could give them 6 stars we would, they are just that good. We adopted our German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix Gemma from a nearby shelter, and fell in love with her immediately. Like the dogs we had before, we enrolled her in a local training program. She quickly showed us she not only was smart enough to learn basic commands, she was also stubborn enough to ignore every single one of them. Food motivated? Not her! She was much more motivated to go visit our neighbors dogs or chase a squirrel through our unfenced yard into the woods. Her favorite game seemed to be to slip the collar (flat collar, martingale, full harness--you name it we tried it) and have us chase her through the neighborhood. She was an escape artist that loved exploring and meeting new dogs. Very frustrating and completely unsafe. When Gemma was 9 months old she kept getting stronger and faster; we knew we needed additional training and help. We found Chris’ program online, and we were initially skeptical at ALL the glowing reviews. We called Chris and he immediately set up a time to come to our home and evaluate Gemma. He recommended his 2 week Board and Train program. Giving our dog over was so hard, but we knew that it was necessary. We were worried that by leaving her with Chris, she would think that she was in a shelter again and that we had forgotten about her. We were also worried we were sending away our affectionate, silly puppy and getting back a robot dog with her personality trained out of her. We couldn’t have been more wrong, trust the process. The time she was away was not easy, we really missed her. The videos and text updates Chris sent showing her progress helped. After two and a half weeks (remember stubborn) Gemma was ready to come home. We went to pick her up and we received a very detailed and thorough explanation and demonstration of what she had learned and how we needed to communicate with her. When she came home, she was a bit shell shocked. But after 20 minutes, she acted as if she had always been home. She was checking out her favorite windows, running around with her toys, jumping on the couch to cuddle with us. All of her little personality quirks were still there. Our worst nightmare happened the first full day she was home; she slipped out the back door and ran into the woods to chase a squirrel. Two or three corrections later (just like London had taught us the night before) and she was back in the house. We were all astonished! Couple of weeks later, we went to a graduation party and were confident to let her off leash. She loved greeting everyone at the party and exploring the new yard. Chris did several follow up home visits to both answer questions and help us with our handling technique. Gemma’s course completion was not certified based on an “end date” but when we demonstrated correct handling and corrections when needed. At our final evaluation, she lied down outside of a Stop & Shop and let a line of 10+ carriages pass by and didn’t move a muscle. We could go on and on about how appreciative we are to Chris and London. Truthfully, Gemma is the happiest out of the entire situation. Our confidence in her lets her play and have freedom that she never could, and it has resulted in a more confident dog. She lets us know when strangers pass by the house but will stop barking when we tell her everything is ok. We can play catch in the back where she can really run. On off-leash walks she can explore every bush, tree, and flower she passes. It’s a dream that we didn’t think was possible with Gemma. Chris and his team’s methods work, and we will trust them for any of our dogs in the future without hesitation.

Chris is truly a god send. Our 10 month old poodle/husky mix was aggressive with other dogs when there were any bones/toys around and is extremely headstrong. He could not be off of a leash because he would just run off to where ever he pleased. When we reached out to Chris he responded immediately to schedule an evaluation. When he came for the evaluation he was very straightforward and explained how his training worked and his background and answered all of our questions. In that initial evaluation he already was showing us things we were doing incorrectly and how to improve them. When he left the evaluation we knew we had found the right guy. He is honest and forthcoming and truly impressive with his knowledge. He has trained police dogs and even helps aggressive dogs in shelters who were basically told had no hope due to their aggression and certain behaviors, but Chris was able to help them. It was obvious from the first time we met him that he truly cares about helping dogs. We chose to have Chris come to our home for training and he taught and coached us with our dog and showed us in detail all of the corrections and directions to give our dog. He took his time and showed us how we would build on each command and how to practice each step in between sessions. I took a video after 2 sessions and sent it to my family(who have had and have multiple dogs) after a couple of sessions with Chris and every response was simply “unbelievable”, because Chris is truly unbelievable. Our dog does not have to be on a leash when we take him on walks now, which is so amazing for us and him. Our dog has so much more freedom and enjoyment while also being safe because he listens when we tell him to come to us or sit/lay down in different situations. Now when he is around other dogs we feel safe knowing knowing we have a way to control his aggression. I was walking him the other day and another dog walked by, I told our pup to lay down, while the other dog was pulling and going crazy, and I praised our pup and told him good boy and the owner of the other dog said “wow he is so good, how did you teach him that?” and I told them about Chris and passed on his information. I honestly cannot praise Chris enough and after our pup’s graduation we were sad to see Chris go. The biggest difference with Chris is that your dog is trained to listen to and respond your voice even in the most intense/extreme situations instead of only responding when you have a treat in your hand. We are so thankful for Chris and cannot recommend him enough

My family decided to add another puppy to our family and found a Mini Australian Shepherd breeder. We picked a girl from the litter and after a few weeks we were told she was deaf. We decided to take her anyway. Once we got her home we realized having a deaf dog was a bit different. We searched the internet and read books on training her. We were able to train her to sit but then she ran out the house one day. Scariest day ever! We knew after that she needed professional training. Chris came highly recommended from a friend and we are so happy with the results. Our puppy, Sammi Rose, can now walk without a lease and knows many commands. We no longer worry about her running out the house or away from us anymore. It was truly the best decision we made!

We started in-home training with Chris when our puppy was 4 months old and what a great experience it has been! Remi has learned how to be a great listener and such a well behaved puppy! Chris is truly sensational- he understands and bonded so well with our girl- a fantastic trainer and a great guy! Thanks, Chris!

Chris’ training abilities are second to none. We opted for the boarding option for training our almost 5 year old shepherd/lab mutt, Louie. While rescuing him as a puppy he always seemed to pick up new tricks and commands, but would only listen to us when he chose to. Our biggest item that we wanted to correct is his energy level and how excitable he’d get when we had guests over. And after two short weeks, we still can’t get over the work that Chris was able to do. Truly night and day. We would most certainly recommend him to friends, family, strangers, etc. Our only regret is not having done this sooner. Can’t thank Chris enough for making such an impact on our family!

Raising a German Shepherd puppy in a large apartment building in the city is really different than caring for an other dog with a big yard in the suburbs! What were we thinking?! After countless YouTube videos, local puppy preschool classes, and puppy daycare we were desperate for someone to give us a serious leg up with obedience training to help our sharp little girl. At 5 months old - she needed more guidance than we were equipped to offer. After a search online we found Chris Park. We were skeptical about all the 5 star reviews - on numerous sites! Desperation trumped our skepticism and we called Chris. In a matter of minutes we had scheduled a time that he would come visit us for an evaluation of our pup`s lifestyle and our [lack] of training & commanding abilities. Chris was incredibly respectful, yet direct in giving feedback on the things that were not helpful to our pup. He is a true dog-whisperer. It was amazing. We were sold and we sent her to his 2 week boarding program for all the basics and more. It was hard not being able to see our pup for 2 weeks and wonder if she`d be a different doggy from our sweetie pie - Nope! All fears aside, it was the best money spent and the best thing we could have done for our girl. During the time she was away, Chris and his assistant sent us updates and videos. We were in absolute amazement at her progress. We got our girl back the week of the pandemic shut down - the first one back in March 2020. We were taught all the commands and how to properly give them and reinforce them. Chris came back for a follow-up and then our next few sessions were by FaceTime, as the pandemic raged on. That was almost 1 year ago! Our girl is just over a year old and doing great. Who knew she would be our saving grace through such dark national and global crisis. She hikes with us every day [off-leash] and gets flurries of complements on her manners and behavior. She obediently pulls off trail and sits at our side to allow other hikers to pass by - gently smiling in her regal stature. We cannot thank Chris enough for what he gave to us - the ability to have a great relationship with our dog. We tell every dog owner we run into about Chris after they glorify our girl`s good behavior. Chris deserves every 5 star and so much more. You`ll love him too!

The best of the best! After just 6 private sessions with Chris and our 1 year old German shepherd we now feel 100% confident walking him off leash and not reacting to other dogs or people. Chris is very direct in his training and expectations and delivers exactly as promised. I would give him 100 stars if I could. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an incredible trainer. The best investment you can make for your dog!

So proud of our boy yesterday! We’ve been in serious training with him for about 2 months and yesterday was our graduation. He went from an 8 week old pup that lived to chase the squeaky flying things (chickens), running down every cat, going head to head with cattle and horses, goats and sheep and pigs (we live on a livestock farm) to this amazing, handsome well behaved best friend that my daughter and I can take anywhere at anytime. Graduation consisted of off leash somewhere he’s never been before. We went to Home Depot. Off leash inside and outside. Would wait in down while we “shopped”, even us leaving the isle he was in and other folks walking by him without moving until we gave him his next command! He saw 3 other dogs while there and still did wonderful! People actually stopped what they were doing to watch him! Kayleigh and I put in so many hours of training with him under the guidance of Chris (and this will be an ongoing thing for him and us) but I am just proud as can possibly be! Get yourself a great trainer like Chris Park K9. Yes, you really do get out of it what you put into it! 6 months old tomorrow and we can take this boy absolutely anywhere with confidence!

"We adopted Abby back in March; when we got her, she had had a history of abuse that resulted in the loss of one of her back legs. Abby was very gentle and kind to humans, but she could be aggressive to some new dogs that she met. Abby also had difficulty following commands, and on walks, she would pull so hard that she would choke herself. Overall our biggest concern was her inability to remain focused on us. We decided to sign Abby up for the Obedience II course and sent her away with Chris for two weeks. Throughout Abbys time there, Chris sent frequent updates regarding how she was progressing as well as cute photos and videos. Two weeks is a long time without your furry friend, but having pictures helped it go by faster. When the two weeks were up Chris let us know that he thought Abby was not ready to go home yet. He ended up working here for almost another week. It was nice to know that Chris was taking the time to make sure Abby was perfect before giving her back to us. Once Abby was back with us, we went to Chris` house for a training session with Abby`s classmates. Chris made sure we were giving the right commands and answered all of our questions. The next week we met with Chris at Lowes for Abby`s final test, we did not feel like Abby was ready to graduate, and even though she did very well with her commands, Chris agreed with us to try the following week again. The next Abby passed with flying colors. Not only did she listen to all the commands in the store, but she also followed every order when we were in the busy parking lot. Abby did not even need her leash. Chris was a life savior, we never imagined that Abby would be so well behaved that we could take her anywhere without needing a leash, but we never imagined that Chris would be able to train her so quickly. Chris was very patient with Abby but even more patient with us. He answered all of our questions and made us feel better about all of our concerns. I feel confident knowing that if I have any more problems with Abby, Chris is just a phone call away. I recommend Chris` training services to any dog owner I meet.”

Chris is the BEST dog trainer. He trained my 1 year old 115 pound Rottweiler puppy Kaizer. In just 6 sessions he is now able to listen off leash to simple as well as more complex commands. This would not have been possible without Chris and we are extremely grateful for the opportunity to work with him. I recommend Chris to anyone needing to train their dog.

We didn’t think it was possible but Chris was able to break our Border Collie of her hard-wired instinct to chase (herd) cars (steel sheep). It is so nice to not have my arm pulled off when walking her now. Chris was fantastic to work with and we highly recommend him.

I have a one year old mountain cur I adopted In January . He is a hunting breed and is very easily distracted . He would pull extremely bad on the leash , bark and run towards any dog , human , animal etc. would not listen to us at all. I was determined to get him trained and Chris came HIGHLY recommended. He is personable, knowledgeable , honest and just an all around fantastic trainer . I am so happy I found him . After Chris’s 2 week training my dog listens so well! No more leash pulling , he is actually an off leash dog and very obedient. Squirrels will run by and he will come here if I call and ignore them (which I did not think would be possible !). He’s like a new dog . If you’re looking for a great dog trainer - Chris Park is who you want, I promise 😃

We opted for the board and train program after speaking with Chris for our 5 year old Border Collie named Bruce. I was so worried leaving my dog with someone for 3 whole weeks but knew it was necessary. Chris made sure to send pictures and updates the entire time. We couldn’t believe how well trained our dog was after 3 weeks with Chris and his assistant. I highly recommend him!! We had consulted multiple trainers who all tried training our dog with no progress just wasted money. Chris exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much Chris!

Chris is excellent and very professional at what he does. Knowledgeable in every command and helps greatly with the dog and owner(s). Would recommend him to anyone. We were recommended by a friend and seen what he did with his dog. Extremely happy with our boy Davie. 10 stars!

Chris is not just a great dog trainer but he is also a great guy. My family and I almost lost hope on our 10 month old 80 lb rottweiler Bruno. Bruno was destructive at home ripping everything apart and not following any commands. The first person we talked to told us "this dog is unfixable give him away and cut your losses". We as a family knew inside he was a good dog just needed some structure. Then we went to north shore dog training hoping they could fix him. We did a two week boarding program and he came back worse then when we sent him. Finally at last hope we found Chris. He was patient,kind, and never sugar coated anything. We got Bruno back today and he is a completely different dog. We found it hard to trust people with our dog after the first boarding experience but with chris we knew from the beginning he was the man for the job. I have two younger daughters who we were afraid Bruno would jump on them bite or hurt them and now Bruno is great with them. After Chris`s two week boarding program he goes over everything you need to know on how to continue the training. Then you will have two follow ups to make sure you are comfortable with the plan. He took time before we took Bruno home with my two young daughters, my wife ,and even my 70 year old mother on how to walk him telling him to sit or lay. Any time I have questions I text or call him and he is always there for us. He loves dogs and knows what he is doing. Take it from me if your reading this go with chris me and my family are on a tight budget especially with covid 19 money is tight we wasted 2500 dollars on the other guys. Chris will get the job done. Like I said in the beginning chris is a great dog trainer but an even better person. He is a blessing to our family so if you have a dog or puppy that you need help with I give 100 stars to chris.He will help you like he helped my family. Thanks again chris.

Chris Park is a wonderful dog trainer. The only thing I regret is not engaging him sooner. After spending a lot of time and money on other dog trainers, we finally found Chris and signed up for the board and train option. We had almost given up before finding Chris. We have a Golden Retriever puppy who is very sweet and loving but is also very high energy and that high energy was turning destructive. Our mornings were stressful and chaotic trying to get our boys out the door while trying to control our very energetic pup. Thank goodness for Chris! Our girl just needed structure and training. Chris trained us too! Our pup is now so well behaved that we can send her to her bed and she will lay there quietly while I get the boys out the door. It’s really a miracle! We are forever grateful to Chris. We will call him first when we get another puppy. He’s the best! If you’re looking for a dog trainer look no further. Best of all, Birdie loves him too. ❤️

We are thrilled with the results of our training! Our 1 1/2 yr. boxer could just not contain her crazy energy. We struggled for quite some time before Chris. I wouldn’t have believed that she would walk on a crowded street, in the middle of the day with no leash, by my side beautifully! This method of training works! Thanks Chris

Chris Park is literally a GOD, my puppy went from peeing and pooping all over the house to being an amazing, well-trained dog! He showed my pup that playtime is everything but when it comes to being an obedient, listening dog you must listen and obey your owner. I saw Chris’s reviews on google and immediately sent him an e-mail. Chris didn’t hesitate to reply and he set up a Pre-Training Evaluation, he understood where my dog needed work and he took him to his house for 3 weeks and Ace (my dog) came back still showing me all that puppy love and the biggest change was the fact that he would listen to me! His breed (Great Pyrenees) is very stubborn and independent. Chris took him and showed him “No, you listen to me because I am your owner” and it definitely worked. My dog came back 1,000,000x better! He doesn’t pee, poop, or chew on things in the house. He has definitely matured into a full grown mature dog, he’s only around 10 months old and he’s still very playful but he understands when called, you listen. Without Chris my dog would probably be the worst dog ever (based on what he’s done un-trained) so I give all my thanks to Chris Park K9! If I need anything I will not hesitate to call Chris! Thank you again Chris we love you!

Chris and his assistant London were terrific to work with. We had a dog that pulled while walking on the leash, chewed on the rug and pillows, and never came when called. After two weeks with Chris we are now confident walking her off leash, even in a busy area, my decorative pillows can live on the couch again, and she comes running every time we say come here. I’d highly recommend Chris Park K9!

There are not enough words to describe how truly amazing Chris is and how much we enjoyed working with him, as did our dog Nyla! We had gotten Nyla, 4 month old Husky/Pitbull mix, early in the year and she was FULL of energy as Huskies are. We started a basic dog training course, which did not seem to be helping much, as she did not listen to commands, she could not be off leash, as she would take off, she pulled, she would be over hyper, nip, and bite. We then discovered that we were going to be expecting our first child and had no control over this new member of our family. I began to panic thinking there was no way we could have both. I found Chris, and the same day he called me right back when I told him about our situation and we talked through EVERYTHING. He guaranteed me that everything would be okay, and we could add both new members to our family. We sent Nyla for 2 weeks with Chris. The moment we met him in person we knew she was going to be well taken care of & loved, but disciplined at the same time. I was afraid of leaving my dog with a stranger, but we left with no reservations. I am so thankful to say when we got her back she was way beyond what we expected, and had not lost 1 spunk of her personality. She was still the same dog, but respected her boundaries and commands now. Chris left us with all of the tools we needed to succeed, and Nyla has been doing amazing ever since! She can be completely off leash, her bad habits are broken, she even learned how to walk with a stroller once the baby gets here! Chris is truly a wonderful person and INCREDIBLE at what he does. He is so easy to work with and has become a part of our family. I would highly recommend him to anyone, and will be sending any and all of our future fur babies to him. He is not just a dog trainer, but someone who will help you for life. We have called and texted multiple times when we needed assistance on corrections and certain behaviors, and he has always been there to take our call. If you are looking for a dog trainer, stop looking and send them to Chris! You will not be disappointed. He treats all of his dogs like family and truly wants your family to be happy and succeed as well. Thank you Chris!! - Sandra, Jack, & Nyla :)

I just want to say if you are looking for a dog trainer who will get the job done look no further. I have a 6 month old german shepherd who had behavioral issues and even as a puppy it was difficult . he would bite continually, he barked from morning till night, hated to go to the vets, hated going in the car. After several trainers and wasted money i was given the name Chris Park, i called him and i really needed some serious help he told me to bring the dog to his home on Monday and the dog would go through a 2 week training period. I agreed to let Chris take the dog. After I picked my dog up first I thought I got the wrong dog !!! Well all I can say is it was a miracle to how well behaved my puppy was and such a joy to have him. Waste no time looking and searching for a trainer and only to find out how much time and money you really did waste!!! call the Master of Dog Training Chris Park.

Chris Park and his assistant London literally saved our lives. We adopted a rescue pitbull about two months ago. He is about 6 years old. His energy was through the roof and I was failing at trying to train him to stop jumping on me, pulling on the leash etc. My kids were nervous around him too. After searching the internet and calling some other trainers I met with Chris. He was very responsive and answered all of my questions. I felt nervous boarding my dog with a stranger but when I met Chris I was comfortable. You can tell he really likes dogs and will train them correctly. He sent me multiple video updates of Blue during training and playing with other dogs. After training was over London came to ensure we understood all of the commands that Blue learned. He worked with each member of the family before leaving. Chris did a followup a week later. Blue is more wellbehaved than some children I know now!!! I get compliments everytime I walk him. Do yourself a favor and train your dog with Chris Park.. it will change your life for good!!! THANK YOU CHRIS & LONDON

Millie and Moose love the beach, especially when chasing the birdies! thanks Chris Park - your excellent training got us here!

Searching for a dog trainer? No need to look anywhere else!! Chris Park transformed my one year old German Shepherd named Toby from being an uncontrollable, "aggressive", reactive dog to an amazing, calm, friendly, lovable, well trained dog. Chris was professional, funny and caring to both our dog and my family from the start. He truly cares about dogs. He is a miracle worker! Before Chris, we were at the point where we could no longer walk Toby as he would pull on the leash along with barking uncontrollably at other dogs and people as they passed by. Neighbors would literally cross the street when they would see us coming around the corner with him. With Toby having bitten and snapped aggressively to several family friends, we lived in constant fear of what he was going to do next as I have two young grandsons and people in/out of my house all the time. We were basically at the point where we thought we were going to have to put a muzzle on him. This is not what we wanted for him. Family and friends were also on edge about being at our house because we had very little control over his actions. To emphasize just how great Chris is, I wanted to share that Toby had already gone through training from three other highly recommended trainers that could not do what Chris did. When searching desperately for someone to train Toby, I came across Chris and another trainer. The other trainer told us to put Toby down or send him back to the breeder. He also shared that he would never associate a dog like that to his name or business. We called Chris and three hours later my family and I piled into our car to drop Toby off at Chris’s house. Within five minutes of meeting Chris he assured me that Toby was going to be fine. He told us that Toby was not aggressive he just doesn`t know what he is suppose to do. With Chris, you are not just getting a trainer but rather a family man that is going to take your dog everywhere with him in the two weeks he is gone, you are signing your dog up for socialization with other dogs, you get to have a safe space for your dog when boarding is needed, and best of all you get back your dog and know he was loved the entire time you weren’t there with him. Toby is now walking without a leash, neighbors are not running from us and my grandsons are able to run crazy throughout the house and Toby is not even phased. A quote from a close friend that was petrified of Toby, "What did you do he is a completely different dog, are you sure this is Toby”. Chris changed our unpredictable and “scary” dog into a family dog that just wants to give kisses and snuggles. He sent me pictures and videos often to share Toby`s progress and when we picked Toby up he spent several hours training us on how to care for Toby and his new commands. He comes for a home visit 1-2 weeks later for a follow up. We have a second follow up at his home in two weeks. Chris has even offered to come back to our house when we have our vet appointment to be sure it goes smoothly. He told me "I am your trainer for life". It was just the best experience. He is worth every Penny. Don`t waste your time or money with any other trainer. Chris truly cares about the dogs he trains. I didn`t think Toby was going to want to leave him. This is how excited Toby was to see Chris when he came to our house for the follow up visit. We can never thank Chris enough for what he did for us and Toby. I am truly amazed and get emotional when I watch Toby interact with other dogs, people and family and especially my grandchildren. We owe all of this to Chris.

My dog GG is a rescue pitbull. She knew no commands and was very "rough around the edges." While she was a sweet girl you could tell she was not treated well in her previous life. Chris was very responsive and was able to work with her even with all of these issues. When she came home from the training she was much better behaved and had learned many important commands. Chris continued to work with me after she came home and I always have his cell phone number if something comes up. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a professional effective dog trainer.

Excellent experience. Chris gave us control of our Dachshund and has greatly improved our life with our dog.

Chris has really changed our lives. Not only did he train our Scottish Terrier, Finley, but he also “trained” us! Before going to Chris, Finley would growl at certain people and became aggressive with some other dogs, particularly larger, male dogs. Amazingly, Chris broke him of his fear and insecurity around male dogs. Within just a few days, Finley was running around Chris’ yard with several larger dogs without any issue. Since coming home, Finley now consistently responds to our commands. We can answer our front door without Finley jumping up and inadvertently scratching delivery people or guests, and he can roam off-leash with us, sniffing everywhere he wants safely without dragging us around the neighborhood. Walks are much more enjoyable now! We got so much more than we anticipated out of the experience, and Chris was great – nice, patient, easy-going, and flexible. If we ever get another dog, we won’t wait 3 years before sending him for training… Chris will be our first stop. Well worth it.

I highly recommend Chris. He is amazing with the dogs and really works wonders. He took our 7 month old puppy Barry who likes to be stubborn and made it so Barry listens and knows basic commands. He also got Barry to socialize with other dogs and not be snappy with them. Chris sent us updates the entire time he had Barry. Chris has great communication while training your dog.

I can’t say enough how impressed we are with Chris and London’s dog training expertise! As many folks have done lately, we adopted a COVID puppy! Both me and my girlfriend grew up with dogs so it seemed like the perfect timing now that we’re both working from home, we could take care of him and train him. Well we certainly didn’t forecast that we were going to choose the most anxious dog ever to walk planet earth! We tried everything; every YouTube video, puppy training book... you name it, but this dog had the most anxiety I’ve ever seen. When I tell you he was afraid of everything I can’t express this enough... he was literally afraid to drink his own water!!! His fears didn’t end with eating or drinking but not to mention every noise outside our house: cars, people, other dogs, butterflies... everything! We needed help!! After much research, we decided we most definitely needed Chris! Our scared puppy is literally a completely different dog when he returned home..He walks around with confidence, he’s not afraid of anything and he’s happy to be in his own fur which is awesome to see! Can’t thank these guys enough and to London a little extra shout out because I knew you really loved my dog and it showed, thank you both very much!

Chris and London are amazing dog trainers. Our one yr old Shih Tzu “Ace” was barking at everyone he saw, nipping and sometimes biting and not the best when out on a walk. Our neighbor recommended Chris Park K9 and it was the best decision we could make. As soon as we met Chris and visited his home we knew we were in good hands. Ace came back as the obedient dog we dreamed of. Chris also provided the tools, training and education to my entire family so that we could continue to make sure Ace succeeds. This was truly a game changer and the best money spent.

We sent our 1 year old Labradoodle to Chris for 3 weeks and we are extremely happy with the results. Our dog George is a child to us and he is extremely friendly and outgoing. He was always getting too excited around guests and other dogs and it was difficult to take him for walks or have guests over. We were hesitant to send our dog away as we did not want to lose his personality and become a soldier. After getting George back home and having 2 follow up sessions, I can say that all his positive traits are still there. He is playful when its appropriate but if we need him to be obedient during a walk or to prevent him from roaming too far away, he listens to everything we say. We will need to continue reinforcing the training at home but the results so far have already made our lives so much better. I would recommend Chris to anyone and am very fortunate we found him

Chris taught us to be better pet owners. Our dog Louie is happier, freer and just more fun to be with since his training with Chris. Importantly, we always felt that Chris was caring and compassionate with Louie. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone. Thanks.

Chris trained our 8 months old Vizsla puppy. Our sweet, affectionate and energetic Winnie was also overexcited and all over the place. Now she is sweet, affectionate , energetic and listens to the learnt commands so beautifully that we can walk her off leash on the beaches or in the forest or in our neighborhood streets. She learnt to be respectful toward our needs and our environment, it is paradise for Winnie and all of us. Thank you so much Chris !!!

Sent my 1y/o GSD who was sweet but STUBBORN! I was at a loss with him as I couldn’t walk him without dragging me behind, meeting people he would jump or even seeing you for the 100th time, reactivity to other dogs was becoming concerning and I needed help! Chris is truly gifted as he gave me back my fun loving pup but a dog that I felt connected to, and free to live our lives knowing we could be safe and in control. Chris is comforting as he loves your dog like your own and first priority is making sure the dog is safe. The results you see with Chris are incredible not matter how big or little your problem. He keeps the dog in mind when teaching you their new learned commands and is with you every step of the way and after. Could not ask for a better person or trainer!

My sister recommended Chris’s name to me when It was apparent that I was struggling with my energetic 9 month old Springer Spaniel. Chris and his training crew did not disappoint.. As I dropped daisy (my puppy) off, I was extremely sad to say goodbye, however both Chris and his assistant assured me that she would be fine. They even mentioned how they would be sending me videos within the next few days! The videos made my entire family smile. We could tell by her behavior that she was very happy.. (I actually thought she might not want to come back home because she looked so relaxed with her trainer). I cannot thank Chris and his Crew enough for the training that they did with daisy. Not only is my Springer extremely obedient and self controlled, but I find her even more enjoyable than she was before. I cannot tell you how many people have asked me for Chris’s name since daisy has returned from training.

After some short time with Chris my dog Sky is so much easier to walk with and I have the confidence of being able to control her. She has gone from pulling like crazy on the leash and listening some times to not even needing a leash. I am also confident in how to train the dog after working with Chris

Chris and his assistant, London did a fantastic training job with our 7-month old pup, Beau. Beau is a sweet dog but was quite unruly. We were worried about his health and safety. He liked to eat anything off the ground; rocks, mulch, worms and other things that would get caught in his throat. We could never think of walking him off leash. We sent Beau to train with Chris for two weeks. Chris kept us appraised of Beau’s progress through video updates throughout the training schedule and responded immediately via text with any questions we had. Upon his return home, after two weeks of training, Beau was a different pup. He responds promptly to numerous commands, and we were able to walk him off leash on the first night. He is still the sweet and playful dog that we sent to Chris, except now he responds to our commands. Just as important, Chris does follow –up visits where he works with the owners on how to interact with your dog to further the training. Chris did a tremendous job and we are able to enjoy our time even more with are well-trained sweet Beau. Judy and Ned Epstein Boxford

Chris Park worked with our 1.5 year old Rottweiler in his board and train program. I am still in shock with how well behaved she is now!! He had our Nala for 2 weeks and when she came back home she was walking nicely (not pulling anymore), able to calm down in the house and lay in her bed, comes when we call her, and most importantly has stopped with the aggressive territorial behavior. When we go for walks in our neighborhood we don’t even need a leash anymore. I was hesitant to use the e-collar at first, but I’m so glad I did. Nala has a lot more freedom because of it and she barely needs it anymore (it’s been about 40 days since she’s been back home)! Chris is trustworthy and sticks by his work. After the board and train him and Landon stuck with us until Nala graduated and helped answer our 100 questions along the way. We have already recommended Chris to many friends. It was worth every penny!!!! We recommend 10/10!

I can not praise Chris and his associates enough...my kids convinced me to get a daschund puppy after already having an 8yr old Springer Spaniel at home, ..which my husband and I adore!! After having the puppy a couple of weeks we realized we had forgotten what it was like to train a new puppy and how much work it actually was. A friend recommended Chris to us and I immediately called for a Consultation...Chris came to our home and was instantly welcomed by both of my dogs...his calm nurturing demeanor was felt by us all upon arrival ...Chris has a firm but fun trusting personality that you can’t help but love. His knowledge and experience with dogs is so apparent you are immediately intrigued and drawn to his every word! After sending our puppy For training we were in awe of his progress in just 2 weeks...he went from peeing and pooping in the crate and pretty much having the run of the house to sleeping in the crate all night with no accidents along with obeying commands off leash with minimal corrections. Now it’s just up to us to follow through with what has been taught and Chris is dedicated to helping us succeed and stays in consistent contact to insure that the training and process is achieved. I can not express how happy and comfortable I am with Chris and his associates, my dogs are a part of our family and now chris is as well...❤️

Having a dog and not getting it trained by Chris is like having a kid and not sending him/her to school. Chris trained my cane corso Moose and he is hands down the most obedient dog I’ve ever had. If your looking for a dog trainer, this is your guy!

Chris Park is amazing! I got his name from Dawg City Dog store in andover Ma. My puppy concerns were that he was biting, eating furniture, not listening, and just wild. After calling Chris he came to assess our puppy. He took his time with the myself the kids and the dog. He explained his method, time frame and rationale and answered questions. The day he came to take the dog for the 2-3 week training he re explained everything. He is very knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease upon taking your dog for the training. Chris also has a special way with the dogs. My puppy came to him without hesitation. . Chris made sure to engage with the puppy and make him comfortable with as well. While my puppy was away Chris was responsive to questions and sent videos to show how he was progressing. After getting my puppy back he was a different dog with the same spunky personality! He was not nipping and he was following commands! It was great. Upon returning your dog Chris gives you correct instructions for home. He then comes back to your house for follow up to make sure you understand how to continue. Chris is available for any questions and he has formed a relation ship with my pupppy. My pup runs right to Chris when he comes over for follow up. I think this is the only way to go for training and I am thinking of sending my older dog for training as well! Any dog issues Chris Park is your guy!

Chris is very professional. We have a 3 year old 85lb GSD who was extremely aggressive. That was (BC) before Chris! We can now take her into public and not have to worry about her trying to nip at someone. Chris was wonderful with her. I think his hardest challenge was training us. Chris works with both you and your dog. It is so nice to have control of my dog and feel comfortable around people. Thank you Chris for giving me this freedom back. Your the Best!!!

When my husband and I decided to get another lab, we both agreed that we would need to make sure she was trained properly so that she didn’t develop the same behavioral problems. When I came across Chris Park I knew he would be the right trainer but was concerned that our dog would lose her happy goofy personality. I wanted a well behaved dog that didn’t eat food off the tables, sit in the middle of the street and bark at people for hours on end, but I wanted her goofy and fun personality to remain the same. For some reason I thought you had to have one or the other. Boy was I wrong! Chris assists you with creating the lifestyle YOU want with your dog. He gives you the tools and trains you, the owner how to handle your dog. He is patient, knowledgeable and explains everything he does. He showed my husband and I a new way of thinking and interacting with our puppy, Ella. I am pleased to report that she is still a fun, loving, goofy lab that has been proven to be a great addition to our family. It is a sense of relief knowing that she listens, especially when she is off leash. Hiring Chris was an investment that I am so incredibly happy we made. It has made our life with Ella so much more enjoyable!

What can we say that others haven’t already shared??? Chris is simply AMAZING. We were beyond anxious to leave our puppy with anyone - Chris assured us that we’d have our wonderful boy back even better and he was SO right! Our 6 month old puppy was just starting to get to be a challenge - pulling when walking, jumping up while we ate and while adorable and sweet, he never listened. We tried clicker and treat training but it just didn’t work. Chris came to our home, evaluated our puppy and let us know that our puppy was more than ready to be trained. The time away was hard (who wants to be away from their sweet puppy?) but worth every second. We got our boy back and he’s still our sweet, bundle of joy but now he listens, is a joy to walk and be out and about with. People stop us to let us know what a wonderful puppy he is - we have Chris to thank for all of it! We needed training as much as the dog - we get more and more confident every day and derive even more happiness from our dog than we even believed was possible! We’re forever grateful to Chris for everything he did to deliver on his promise of an even better dog!

Our puppy Saddie is almost 6 months old now. We were determined to train her well and started with clicker training at 8 weeks old. Despite our best efforts we basically trained her to only behave when we had a bag of treats and a clicker. Then she wasn`t even motivated by the treats anymore. She wouldn`t eat her food either. We kept trying new food to entice her. Instead, she ate the walls, the baseboard, the couch, the pillows, the shoelaces, the grass, etc.. In addition, when we tried to eat dinner she would leap on us and try to get our food. She was all over us and getting bigger and stronger and bolder. She began barking a lot and was very demanding. We would try and take her for long long walks to tire her out. She would pull on the leash and lunge at walker, joggers and other dogs, making walks very unenjoyable. The walks didn`t seem to tire her out either. She started to wake up in the middle of the night to go the bathroom and then, I couldn`t get her to come back in the house. I was losing sleep (and my mind), my husband couldn`t work from home because of her barking and we were really starting to regret getting a dog. My friend heard my woes and told me about her friend who used Chris to train her "out of control" dog. I immediately called her and she raved about Chris and the training. She said it was worth every penny and she would pay it again if she had to because it made such a huge postive change. I had Chris out to our house and could see my dog immediately begin to respond to his directions. It was pretty magical. Although it did seem like a lot of money initially, we felt that if it worked, then it would provide us years of enjoyment with our dog. We did the board and train for two weeks. She came back to us, the same adorable happy loving puppy, only without all the bad behaviors that were driving us crazy. We did need to be trained and we were not the best students, but Chris was patient and kind and very responsive to our questions when we reached out to him. He ended up providing us with 4 training sessions after the boarding. We learned so much and just graduated today. Now when we eat dinner or have food out we can just tell Sadie to go lay in her bed. If we are out for a walk we bring the leash but don`t really use it. She stays with us, but can explore freely. I know that if a car is coming we can tell her to lay down to be safe and she will do it. We can play fetch down at the commons and play with other dogs and not worry that she will run away. She barks less and actually eats her food right away. She sleeps through the night now. We really enjoy her now! The investment to have a well behaved dog is really priceless. Please reach out to me if you have any hesitations. So happy and thankful to have found Chris. It might have saved our marriage too! lol Seriously it was pretty stressful before Chris. :)

Chris has done a remarkable job with my dogs one of whom was very unruly. They have just finished their training and he is now training my wife and I hopefully with the same success. I recommend Chris and his methods unequivocally.

Our 8 year old bulldog is our first baby. We got him when he was just weeks old and have been in love with him every since. Vice has never been around children before, so when we found out I was pregnant I began to worry. In an attempt to prove that my fears were unfounded my husband went out and got a crying doll to simulate having a newborn here. We were shocked to see Vice reach in such a negative way. He was growling, jumping and visibly angry. With just a few months before baby arrived we knew we needed to turn to training. Our veterinarian recommended Chris, so we called him right away. From the minute he came to our home we were both struck by how calm he was. Vice was clearly acting out and tension was high, but Chris was confident and kind with our boy. He gave us the tools we would need and came back a couple of times a week to check in on our progress. Before we knew it our 8 year old stubborn bully was engaged in his training and doing commands he’d never been taught before. We thought we had a bit more time, but our baby ended up coming and month early. Chris was kind enough to arrange what I’m sure is a very chaotic schedule to be here for us to introduce our two babies. Once again he brought down the anxiety in the room and helped Vice process the new addition. After Chris left he checked in on us to make sure all was well. All is well. All is better than well. The dog that used to growl at the baby doll now rests comfortably my my feet as I feed our crying newborn. I have never been happier, and we owe that to Chris.

My daughter rescued a black lab/hound mix over the summer and I told her I would help with his training. Being a full time swim coach , she wanted to bring him to the pool with her. However, Theo had issues with impulse control, especially around small animals and other dogs, making walks and other activities difficult. Chris`s name came up consistently when researching trainers, so I read his reviews and saw that all of them were five stars. We decided to have Chris come to the house to help with training. He explained his methods and the philosophy behind them. Within a few days, Theo was walking on leash without pulling and showing control around external stimuli. Within 6 weeks, Theo was off leash. He is calmer in all situations, well behaved, and a very happy puppy. My daughter took him to the pool the other day. He watched from his bed during practice and then sat with the swimmers while the coaches were talking. There were multiple comments on how well behaved he is and how he must have had good training. The kids and staff love having him and he has been made on honorary coach😊 Like everyone else, we highly recommend Chris. His philosophy is letting your dog "be a dog" but in a safe and fun manner. He shows you the methods and coaches you until he`s satisfied you have it down. He exceeded our expectations.

We used Chris to help train our 6 month old Samoyed after seeing how well he trained our family`s crazy black labs. Our puppy was pulling on his leash and not always responding to commands he knew well (sit, down etc.). Chris helped teach us how to use a choke collar which was amazing - he stopped pulling on walks almost instantly! Chris also taught us how to use the electric collar for training to get his attention- after getting him used to the collar he would obey commands instantly even at dog parks with lots of distractions. We can now take him for walks and runs without a leash and he stays right next to us! We get compliments on how well trained our puppy is all the time- Can`t recommend Chris enough!!

Beau is our 6-month-old Black Labrador Retriever. He is a great puppy with a gentle disposition and eagerness to learn and please. His overall behavior was excellent, but we needed help regarding pulling on leash, walking off leach, and most importantly coming when called. Beau currently weighs about 70 pounds but will grow to be a large dog at over 100 pounds, so being in control and responsiveness is key for future handling. A month ago, we contacted dog trainer Chris Park based on a friend’s recommendation who used Chris to train their two Labs. Chris met with us at our home, evaluated Beau, and discussed our goals for Beau and training options. We decided to send Beau to Chris to do two weeks of boarding training. Although we missed Beau very much, we thought the intense program would be more efficient and have greater impact for us. Chris kept us abreast of Beau’s progress along the way. Well, when Beau returned home, we were amazed at how well trained and disciplined he was in following various commands. Beau was able to follow many commands, and most impressively was able to follow commands while in public places without being distracted by people and other dogs. Chris then emphasized the importance of training the owner and spent follow up at-home visits with us to instruct and participate in conveying and cementing Beau’s abilities to our daily living. We highly recommend Chris given his experience, expertise, passion and dedication to personally taking responsibility for the success of properly and effectively training our dog. I’m sure he’ll do the same for yours!

I am so happy with the training Chris did with my puppy and will be bringing all of my dogs to him in the future! Not only was he great with training Otis but he was also fantastic with teaching me how to continue the training he had started. Otis came home as the same exact pup who left but so much more obedient. He responds well to my commands and goes on off-leash walks all the time! Chris was awesome throughout the whole process and kept me updated often. He is great at answering questions and I highly recommend him!!

We can’t say enough about how well behaved our dog is thanks to Chris and his trainers. We had him take our 4 month old puppy who was nervous and timid of other dogs and returned him a happy obedient puppy. Would recommend to anyone looking for help with training and learning how to raise a better dog

Chris is absolutely amazing at what he does! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer! Our Rottweiler puppy was very energetic and lovable but not very well behaved. After training with Chris he is very obedient but he still has his goofy personality. I can now take him out where ever I go and know that he will be on his best behavior. People actually stop and tell us how well behaved he is. I honestly can’t thank Chris enough

Chris made a very tense situation so manageable and fulfilling. It’s all in the training. He does what he says he’s going to do in a short amount of time. My dog is a new dog!!!

Chris and Landon are an amazing team when it comes to dog training. Our black lab mix Becca was very anxious, hyperactive, and disobedient. While she was sweet and adorable, we were sick of having to plan to be at the dog park for 4 hours due to spending two of it trying to get her to come to us. We also were constantly worried she would run away from us and never come back while off leash. We heard about Chris from someone at the dog park and decided that we too would like an obedient dog. Becca was with Chris and his partner Landon for 2 weeks and I can honestly say our life was changed for the better upon her return from training. She comes when called, is better with new people, is very brave, and listens to all of our commands. Thank you Chris and Landon you haven taken our good dog and turned her into an amazing one! We are so proud of Becca and thankful to you guys for all your hard work to help her!

Chris trained my 5 pound toy poodle puppy (and also trained me how to work with my dog). My dog has a sweet temperament, but needed to learn not to tug on the leash during walks and to come when called. Our problem was when our dog was outside off leash, he would run away and not come back when we called him. Chris taught my dog the command to walk "with me" close by when off leash, and also to come immediately when called. Chris was simultaneously strict, kind and warm with my dog. My dog knew Chris meant business when he walked in the house to start a training session. I highly recommend Chris!

Chris did a fantastic job by transforming our exuberant 8 month old Lab puppy into a calmer, obedient dog that is so much easier to control and now can hang with us via the "down" command. He has a torn ACL awaiting surgery so we needed to get him to be able to "heel" on command and stop pulling and jumping on the leash. Chris is a skilled and very knowledgeable dog trainer that worked some serious magic for us. We highly recommend his services! Thank you Chris!

Chris Park K9, the most reliable, dedicated and compassionate dog trainer. Chris changed our lives in many ways but one of the key components to his training is his communication and motivation to teach the dogs as well as the owner. Chris worked with our 8 month old puppy who is a mix of "high energy breeds"; husky, boarder collie, Australian cattle dog, and more. Prior to Chris, our dog was practicing "puppy like behavior" but as she exceeded 55 pounds at 8 months old, it was very difficult to manage. Chris treated her as his own as he worked with her for 2 weeks. Our lives have dramatically changed and we are so lucky to have found Chris. He goes above and beyond for his clients, answering any and all questions before, during and after the training. He is very resourceful and his experience speaks for itself. I would recommend Chris Park K9 because of his extensive knowledge and his ability to connect with dogs in order to ensure a life full of love and freedom for both the dog and the owner. We look forward to working with Chris in the future

Chris is a fantastic Dog Trainer and a pleasure to work with. I was concerned that my 6 year old English Bulldog would have trouble transitioning from house life with a big backyard to apartment/leash life. I thought she might be aggressive and that she would hate being on a leash...I was wrong! I quickly realized that it was me that was worrying for no reason and that I was the one that needed the training! Chris gave me the tools I needed to get her on the right path to loving her leash. In just a few lessons, she was a completely different dog, and she loves her new apartment and her leash! I can`t thank Chris enough!!!

Couldn’t have asked for a better guy/trainer to work with. He has a flexible schedule and there is no denying his training abilities. My 8 month old puppy has gone from not being allowed to friends and family houses to being a welcomed guest wherever we go.

Chris took my year old Boxer pup Bonnie, who was a jumper she would leap the fence run into the street and disappear at all hours would ignore all commands except sit she wasn`t much fun Chris took her for 2 weeks of training a brought me back a totally different pup she such a pleasure now I can`t believe the change in her it`s unbelievable what Chris accomplished in such a short period of time I would recommend Chris to anyone struggling with their pet

I can not say enough good things about Chris and his work! He completely changed my life and my relationship with my 11 month old German Shepherd, Benson. Before training, Benson would only listen to basic commands when HE felt like it. Although he’s a friendly and happy puppy, he’s BIG and full of crazy energy! He would jump up on visitors and loved to run around the house and jump on all the furniture. I couldn’t take him outside in the backyard without a leash because he would take off on me, but when I did take him out on the leash he would pull and practically drag me down the stairs. I was stressed out and felt a little worried for my future with my dog. I had no control and he was only going to get bigger and more difficult to handle. Vanessa, a friend of mine, swore by Chris and after reading 5 star after 5 star review, I knew he had to be a match for us. Chris is incredibly patient and kind. His ability to connect and communicate with dogs is something I have never seen before. He assured me that during the boarding training he would send me updates/videos of Benson’s progress and also would not return him until he was totally satisfied with the results. I couldn’t be more impressed that after two weeks Chris was able to correct all of Benson’s behaviors and bad manners that I was concerned about...and more importantly, taught ME how to communicate with my dog properly and effectively. Now, I don’t feel restricted with Benson. He is obedient and totally focused on me. I am able to walk him with and without the leash at home and in public. I can take him around big groups of people and he won’t let his excitement get the best of him. He still has his same silly personality that I love and high energy, but is now completely controllable. We have so much fun practicing the commands and have such a better bond than we did before the training. This was by far the best investment I have ever made. I’m so happy and grateful to have met Chris and can still rely on him for advice. Thanks so much Chris..I’m still so impressed!

The training that Chris provided our German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) was absolutely invaluable. We boarded our GSP with Chris, a few weeks later he returned with our fun-loving yet obedient family dog. Chris took the time to educate our family on how communicate with the dog. We also have an older less active dog; the time that our GSP spent with Chris really changed the interaction between our two dogs. With Chris our GSP had socialized with other dogs and we were reaping the benefits. The impact on our family has been incredible. The activities we do with our GSP are totally enjoyable and Chris has given us the knowledge and confidence to bring our dog anywhere. I could not recommend Chris more highly.

I cannot say how much I appreciate the help Chris has provided for me and my pup Bruno. Not only does he train your dog but he also takes his time training you as well which I can`t say about many dog trainers. He puts in the time and effort to make sure he answers all your questions and concerns and doesn`t stop until he sees the results that are up to his standards completely. I think the main reason Chris is amazing at what he does is because he understands that each dog and owner is unique and he customizes his program to fit each individual`s need. The passion and love he has for dogs and what he does is unmatched. Thanks so much for everything you`ve done for us Chris!

I contacted Chris in April because I have 3 dogs who I love dearly but were driving me crazy! A 4 year old Yorkie Poo, a 1 year old Maltese and a 9 month old Vizsla! Chris came to my home and immediately connected with all 3 dogs. The next day he took the Yorkie Poo & Vizsla for boarding and training. For the two and three weeks that they were gone, Chris kept me up to date on their progress and sent me videos of them! When he brought them home I couldn’t believe the change! He then took my Maltese for 3 weeks and wow what a difference! Chris also taught me how to continue training the dogs and showing me how to be a happy dog mom! I am so very happy I found Chris and I would never have imagined I could have three dogs, all very different, walking and playing outside off leash and actually listening to me and my commands!! Chris is the real deal and knows his dogs-all dogs, all shapes, sizes and personalities!!! He is amazing, don’t hesitate to contact him!!

I really can`t say enough about Chris. Chris came to train my 8 month old German Shepherd puppy Zephyr but really ended up training me! He had Zephyr listening and following commands in no time. The real work was getting me to break bad habits, to understand my dog and getting Zephyr to listen to me. Chris has a tremendous amount of patience! He took the time to explain and demonstrate to me what I needed to do and how to do it. Because of Chris, Zephyr is able to walk off leash, follow commands (sit, down, with me, come here and heel) to listen and focus on me! You know that training is not just a job to him, he loves what he does! Chris is a fantastic trainer and an overall great guy. If you are looking for a canine trainer that listens to both you and your dog then you should definitely call Chris Park!

Chris is an amazing and knowledgeable Canine Trainer. We have an Australian Cattle Dog who was having some behavioral issues. Chris took Max for a 2 Week Board & Train and when Max returned, he was a whole new dog. Max listen and obeyed on command, not only to us, but to other family members as well. Chris not only trained Max, but he also taught us a lot about dogs and being consistent with them. Chris’s training was the best investment ever. We now have a German Shepherd puppy and as soon as she is old enough, she will be attending the same training. Thank You, Chris

Chris was awesome! My dog, Maverick had an issue with eating rocks and just overall needed some obedience training. Chris taught Maverick how to go off leash as well as not eat rocks! Maverick can be free without having to worry that he will run off and I will have to chase him. Life overall for Maverick is much better as he understands how to be free and be a dog, but to understand that rocks are bad and to not run away. I highly recommend Chris to train your dog. Chris is extremely experienced and knows what he is doing. Chris is super friendly, family oriented and personable.Thanks Chris for everything!

Chris helped us train our dog Mijo to listen to commands off leash. He is an athletic dog but since we live in an apartment we needed to make sure he would come back to us or stay close when exploring. Now we can walk him worry free knowing he will listen to us. We definitely recommend Chris to anyone looking for training!

Before Chris, our Oliver was ruling the house. He was a destructive chewer, challenging walker, showed aggression towards strangers (particularly men), a nipper and generally seemed to enjoy causing trouble in our home. He had taken weekly obedience classes, however, those were unsuccessful at correcting these issues. Oliver spent 2 weeks with Chris. Upon returning home, he was the same happy, lovable dog, only better! His challenging behaviors were gone and he knew how to behave. Chris spent time teaching all of us how to effectively communicate with Oliver. Thanks to Chris, Oliver is now a perfect, enjoyable member of our family! Thank you Chris, you are amazing!

After reading the reviews left before me when I was searching for a dog trainer, I saw Chris has a perfect rating. I couldn’t believe this. But after weeks with our rescue, Chris’s professionalism and knowledge of dog behavior is off the charts. Our dog was extremely shy and he constantly pulled while taking him for a walk. After just two session, our dog was already executing commands he had just learned. Now after many weeks, we can walk him off leash with ease. I am so glad we met Chris. I can’t express enough how glad you will be if you decide to hire him

Nelson: 6 Month American Eskimo (Boarding School) Before Training: Nelson was biting, not listening to anything, tearing stuff up, going to bathroom wherever he wanted, bullying the older dogs in the house...completely dominating and taking advantage of my girlfriend Vanessa. Who is Chris Park you ask? For us, he was a dog training mastermind, a caring and loving teacher, a friend, and an inspiration. No words can truly express the experience we had with Chris as our trainer. Sending Nelson to dog "boarding school" for three weeks has changed our lives for the better and we do not have the slightest regret. When we found Chris online and decided to schedule an evaluation, we had no idea what was to come next. From the moment Chris stepped into the house, he was already communicating with Nelson just with his body actions. He was able to identify the help needed with our dog just by watching us interact with him. Vanessa was hesitant to try new training methods that Chris introduced to us, because she never used these techniques with her dogs growing up. Chris was able to reassure Vanessa that this wasn’t his first rodeo, and the many dogs that came before Nelson have left his training a completely new dog (while having fun during the process). Chris would share videos and pictures with us frequently throughout the week, and we couldn’t believe how quickly Nelson was learning. Not only does training benefit the owners of the dog, it benefits the dog. The boarding session gave Nelson the opportunity to interact with other well behaved dogs and learn to love strangers who eventually became his friends. This review could go on and on about how great Chris is and how happy we are with the results but you won’t truly not know unless you try. If you’ve been spending weeks reading reviews online trying to find the best trainer for your dog like we did, wondering if your dog is too small, aggressive, shy, etc. for Chris to handle, stop now and give Chris a call. Your dog and Chris are already qualified, but it is YOU as the trainer that must give your dog the tools and consistent practice to allow him to be the best he can be. Chris, Vanessa, Nelson

Chris did wonders with our dog and we highly recommend working with him (especially if you have tried and failed with other trainers!). We reached out to Chris after our dog started exhibiting some unwelcome behaviors toward other dogs and humans. We did the board and train, and the results are astounding. In a time span of only 4 weeks, he helped us accomplish what previous dog trainers had not been able to help us with. Thanks to Chris, our dog has regained his confidence around other dogs and people, and we can trust him again to be well-behaved. Even better, we can now walk with him off-leash, even in areas with many distractions, such as hiking trails with other dogs and wildlife around. This was our dream, and we always felt it was completely unattainable – not anymore! Working with Chris and learning from him has also been a great experience for us humans. He is very clear in his instructions, celebrates the training successes and gives the humans the opportunity to see what their dogs are capable of with proper training and guidance from their handlers. Whether you’re looking for a dog trainer to help you train basic commands, make your dog more reliable with these commands, or work through complex behavioral issues, we highly recommend Chris.

My wife and I can`t say enough good things about Chris. His reputation precedes him and the instant results he achieves are worth every moment and every penny spent. From the very first visit we knew that both, our Doxy mix, Pippa, and we had found the best professional trainer available. Within the first hour, Pippa was following all of Chris` commands, doing things for him that we could not get her to do no matter how many unsuccessful ways we had tried. At 14 months, with a lot of pup left in her, she was nipping at everyone, running after squirrels, birds, other dogs, and the many other distractions the outdoor offers. She was also pulling and biting her leash relentlessly, make it an unpleasant experience taking her for a walk. Chris taught us to be better pet owners and trained us to train Pippa, providing us with many future years of pleasurable walks and a happy household. Pippa can now run freely around the yard, without leash or fence of any kind, and is a pleasure to take for walks. She has stopped nipping at us when she plays, so we play with her more often, and during bedtime with the kids she now sits quietly and snuggles instead of running all over and causing chaos.

Chris Park There are no words and not enough “efcharistos” (thank yous)! 🥂You are a good friggin dog trainer.. one of the best out there! Although it was not easy to hand over Nelson to you for nearly a month, we do not regret it a bit. Not only did you transform our little sneaky puppy into the perfect obedient dog everyone wishes to have, you trained me and Chris too. With your coaching and training expertise, we were able to accomplish everything we wished to achieve. You gave us the tools to communicate effectively with our dog and it has changed the quality of all our lives. We will forever be grateful for your hard work. I know Nelson will miss you and your family. If you or anyone is looking for an effective dog trainer who genuinely wants to help you and your pup and wont stop until he sees results that meet his standards —please contact Chris!

Omg... the difference between two different trainers, hes the top of all we went through. My pitbull was board and trained and came home very different from what he was. He got the basic thing about behavior. However, there were concerns that needed to be addressed and I did some soul searching for a very long time about my pittie. I decided to take another Avenue and I found Chris. We had an interview with him and on his first interview with ivory, we would know if he could be better or fixed. Well it`s only been 3 going on 4 and a complete different dog. First he looked at my dog, then he watched me. It was my husband and I doing everything wrong. He trained us to train ivory. Please consider this kind and well educated trainor to have a successful relationship with your dog or dogs. This guy is amazing and half the costs of what was recently paid out. I`m not saying that he didn`t have good training before we met Chris, I`m saying we were not trained with ivory and with all his years of experience, so glad I made the best choice. Thank you Chris, you saved Ivory

Our St. Bernard puppy, Bismarck, was stubborn. He resisted walking on a leash and did not respond to recall. Chris taught us all how to change this and so much more. His training is impeccable and really works. We learned so much from him and highly recommend him to all. Thank you Chris!

My boyfriend and I hired Chris to work with our six month old boxer/lab mix, Celia, and he was amazing! She went from a destructive, rambunctious dog with no manners to a sweet, playful girl. He helped us to set boundaries with her and taught her many commands such as sit and lie down. We are now even able to take her off leash! Chris is a really fun, down to earth guy. He will not only train your dog, but will teach you how to effectively communicate with your dog. We definitely recommend him

Chris was recommended to us by Dawg City in North Andover. During the initial consultation, Chris quickly reassured us that he has successfully trained many dogs and Olivia’s issues would be resolved. Olivia would bark, lunge at visitors upon entering our home, not listen to basic obedience commands, and would pull during walks. We are truly amazed. If it weren’t for Chris we would have dealt with bad behavior for many more years. We can now communicate with Olivia and she is so well behaved. ABSOLUTELY LIFE CHANGING. We highly recommend Chris Park for your training needs.

In July of 2018 we adopted an 8 week old adorable mini whoodle. We started working with Chris in November, when Lola was 6 months old, for some basic training. After just one visit, Lola was already transformed in leash walking and we were hooked. Chris is definitely a dog whisperer and has a gift for training. He is able to read animals and, more importantly, their humans. Chris worked with us for the past 2 months and Lola is now getting compliments whenever we take her out to walk or when we take her shopping. People cannot believe how well trained she is and when they ask how old and we tell them 8 months, they are even more amazed. We would highly recommend Chris to anyone for training, whether it is leash walking, simple obedience or behavior issues! Thank you, Chris!

Well, what can I say about Chris Park? Words seem inadequate to describe the miracles he performs with our beloved dogs, but, more importantly, how he trains our families! From our 3 year old daughter to the family’s 70 year old grandparents, Chris was able to teach our Nero how to obey commands, play, stop puppy biting, do his business outside, walk off leash and so much more! Thank you Chris! Anyone getting a dog or having issues with their dog NEED to call Chris Park! He will solve your problems and make you dog a perfect member for your family!

Thank you for everything you did for Roxie! The board and train was fantastic! We had a lot to learn in regards to being consistent with Roxie. You guided us and we’re still doing everything you taught us! You’re a dog whisperer, Chris Park!

Chris Park’s approach to dog training had much to do about training the dog owner on how to use the tools and techniques necessary for the dog to understand important commands. There were so many conflicting schools of thought out there. Chris brought about a clear path to a happy well trained dog using effective methods and bringing his personal knowledge and energy to the process. I believe that his love and respect for dogs was an understanding that my dog grasped immediately. It allowed us to develop a stronger bond with our dog since we now know a lot more about how she thinks

Chris is the real deal! He’s by far the best trainer we’ve hired for our two Rottweilers and we couldn’t be happier. We’ve hired other dog trainers in the past who were very strict and treated the dogs as if they were working animals, not pets. Chris trains working dogs, but also understands everyone’s needs are different and takes a unique approach with every dog to get the results you want. He has a special connection with dogs and is able to make it fun for the dogs but also productive and effective. We are now able to have our full grown Rottweilers off leash in a public place and not have to worry (Not that we do that often, but if a leash pops off there’s no stress of wondering what the dog will do)! Can’t say enough about it him. He’s reliable, kind and very reasonably priced!

Chris is an excellent trainer! He started training my Great Dane when the dog was a puppy and I was surprised by how quickly my dog learned commands from Chris. Because Danes are such big dogs, I knew from the start that I would need to find the best trainer around, and Chris definitely delivered. Thanks Chris!

We contacted Chris after my 9 month old boxador underwent 2 surgeries and almost died. (He ate a sock, they had to retrieve it and unfortunately the sutures in his bowel let loose nearly killing him. He had to have emergency surgery to clean him out, re-suture and remove a foot of his bowel. The vet told us he has pica and it is very hard to get animals with this to stop eating household objects. (socks, toys, cords, etc.) Not only did Chris help us to stop him with those bad habits, he also helped with the occasional fighting between him and my 6 year old Catahoula/beagle mix. What was once a stressful, chaotic household is now a fulfilling, happy one. We can now walk on the trail by my house with barely holding the leash. Worth every penny! Thank you so much!

I have a German Shepherd puppy, Zara, now eight months, and have been working with Chris for several months now. Initially, I contacted him to help with puppy biting after a previous trainer failed to produce results. The biting and mouthing was so bad that I was unsure if I could keep her. Chris corrected the biting, took her for board and train, and now we are working on further obedience. Though loving and sweet, Zara is high drive and high energy, being from the old East German working line. Chris has transformed her into a calm, civilized, well mannered, and trustworthy companion, both at home and in public. My dog absolutely loves him too! I continue to be impressed with Chris`s qualifications and skills as a dog trainer. He has a true understanding of dog behavior and produces significant results while treating my dog with love and respect. I look forward to working with Chris throughout my dog`s life to address any training needs that arise

I cannot say enough about Chris. I mean that! I watched in awe, as Chris worked miracles with my two German Shepherds. They were litter-mates,and only four or five months old at the time we all began. I was convinced this would be nearly impossible. How does one train, not one, but TWO GSD puppies at the SAME time? Other’s told us that they would need to be trained separately, but not Chris! He also had what may have been an even bigger challenge, training my husband and I, so that we would be able to practice when Chris was not around. We did, which was VERY important! Chris is tough, but incredibly kind and loving to the dogs. We adore and cannot recommend this gifted man enough. My dogs knew that when Chris arrived, hard work was coming, yet they ran to him with excitement, and lots of kisses. If you have any doubt, watch the video posted of Tusca and Kaiser’s graduation day, on Chris’sFacebook page(Chris Park K9). It’s miraculous. I’m still in awe. Thank you Chris Park. We will ALL miss you!

I was going away for couple weeks so I decided to send Rhea, my 7 month old Doberman, to Chris for board and train rather than putting her in a kennel where she would sit alone most of the day. Rhea was becoming a bit more rambunctious an uncontrollable as she was getting more comfortable in her bigger body. It’s like she was developing selective hearing LOL. Outside, she started barking at everyone and chasing down bikers and runners. We do a lot of off leash trail running so it was becoming a big problem. Inside, she was getting into everything and knew few boundaries. Chris was great!! He not only teaches the dog but the owner too. In less than 3 weeks, Rhea came back a whole new dog and I now have a better understanding of how my dog thinks. She knew all her basic commands plus some. Rhea is so on point now!! There`s a lot more structure in both of our lives and a greater a peace of mind too. I couldn`t have asked for a better experience!! I recommend Chris to everyone I see at the dog park...he`s that good!! Thanks Chris!!

Chris did an amazing job with our puppy, couldn’t be happier with how he behaves now!

Jayne from Dawg city recommended Chris to me .. he returned my call the same day! We met a few days later for our initial consult! Lola my King Charles cavalier started her training a few days later! Chris was fantastic .. we had a few bumps along the way but they were my mistake from not listening to Chris and doing things my way! Today I agree with everything he has taught me .. and will never argue with him when it comes to training my puppy!! Lola passed with flying colors this morning and I am thrilled to have a well behaved little girl thanks to Chris! Thank u thank u!

We were so close to giving up our adopted puppy up due to the issues we were having with her. We hired someone else with no progress. Chris literally saved Josie. In only 4 sessions, he was able to train her, at my house, with my 3 kids running around and she is now so perfect! I can’t thank Chris enough for helping us with our Josie!

My family and I had a great experience with Chris. We learned to think like the trainer and saw amazing results in Teddy (6 month old Bullmastiff) in a few short months. I highly recommend Chris for anyone who cares about their dog and is serious about getting results

We found Chris while browsing online for a trainer and saw all the amazing reviews he had. Our border collie Otto has had agression issues with other Dogs and also with kids (which was so nerve racking because of the amount of kids that live in our neighborhood) We were so worried that it was going to be impossible for us to fix this issue. As soon as Chris came to our house and helped us understand what we needed to do as dog owners we knew that everything would be okay! Otto has transformed into a more obediant and well behaved dog and we owe it all to Chris! He truly is amazing at what he does. Thank you so much Chris!

Chris was recommended to us by Dawg City in N.Andover and we are so happy for it! Chris returned our call the same day and was quick to schedule our consultation. At our first meeting he was very patient, listened to the problems we were having with our 2.5 year old mixed breed rescue, and got to work immediately training all of us. He taught us how to communicate with our dog`s mind rather than just controlling her body. Our dog responded well to his training methods and is much happier and more confident. Chris` love of dogs and commitment to training good canine citizens is obvious. His sense of humor helps calm anxious owners. If you are open and willing to work hard, Chris` methods will work.

I adopted my Teddy and he had quite a few issues. I was honestly not sure the adoption would work. I met Chris and he met Teddy and I knew we were going to be ok! It was hard work and practice but Teddy is amazing!!! Chris trained as much as Teddy. He knew the breeds and temperament of Teddy and set expectations and put a plan in place. I cannot say enough about how amazing Chris is!

Simply Superb! Our dog, Ellie, went from a crazy puppy we couldn’t bring in public to a well-mannered family member. The only thing that worked for her before we met Chris, were her good looks, but now she’s a delight to be around! No jumping, counter surfing, barking, stealing food off the table or eating out of the garbage – she has done it all and we were helpless. Chris trained Ellie in the most loving way and Ellie obeyed in return. Chris is always available to answer any questions and he left us with lots of tips on how to continue teaching Ellie to be even better. Thank you, Chris!!

We recently adopted a 2.5 year old Beagle mix named Sebastian who we wanted Chris to help us train. We wanted to work on his pulling during walks, jumping on guests and knowing his one spot on the couch. Chris was able to train both of us as well as Sebastian on these 3 areas plus so much more! We learned how to properly communicate with our dog and it has made a world of difference. We loved Chris and so did our dog, his personality was so easy going and funny! We highly recommend him, he has so much experience and knowledge!

I have a 2 year old Lab/Cocker Spaniel Mix, Charlie. We were having the typical problems with him, he was dragging me out for walks, barking at the sight of another dog and jumping on us and others. Chris came out to the house and we saw immediate changes. Chris is professional and respectful, yet he has a great sense of humor. I still hear him when I have to correct Charlie or when I don’t say “good boy” enough. Chris taught us that we have to change the way that Charlie thinks and the way that we do things, that was the best advice. I now take Charlie out for walks, he is a very polite dog to people and other dogs and I can even drop his leash and walk away (although I don’t go far). In my opinion there isn’t a better trainer!!

I have a two year old Pit Bull / Boxer mix named Jade and I called Chris to give me advice on training. Chris was punctual, and worked with me on different techniques of training. I can now have my dog off leash and she comes to me when called, she knows how to heal, stay and lie down. Jade has been a wonderful addition to my family and I thank Chris for all his professionalism, love of animals and being very thorough with his training techniques. If you want a good trainer that will listen to your needs, work with you and your dog, then Chris is the man.

We recently had Chris train our dog, Balto. Our dog really responded to him and after his visits his bad habits disappeared. He also taught him a couple of tricks. We highly recommend Chris.

I hired Chris to help with my dogs; the last straw was the stealing of the rotisserie chicken out of my husband trunk, and eating it. After working with Chris, my dogs listen to me, I can walk them off leash and they behave much better around the house. I highly recommend Chris to anyone who needs assistance with their dogs behaviour issues. He is easy to work with Flexible in scheduling time and takes a genuine interest in teaching the dogs (and owners) how to react. My dogs appear to be much more relaxed and happy.

We are very happy with the changes we have seen in our golden doodle after working with Chris. He provided us with the tools needed to train our dog and break some old bad habits. Thank you, Chris!

Chris did a fantastic job with our new GSD puppy. He was able to show us how to effectively have the dog not go ballistic everytime it encountered meeting the cats. His techniques work very well. Thanks, Chris.

Chris is a very gifted and experienced trainer...FYI ...he is in my opinion The best one around with all the qualifications and background make a real difference. I am so grateful I found him. He worked patiently and compassionately with my little Havanese puppy. He explained and demonstrated clearly what I need to do to make Mimi understand and respond to my commands consistently. In just three sessions I am now teaching her to think and understand and then choose to behave well . Thanks so much . He is Top rate professional!!

Our dog Maggie is 2+ years old and has been very fearful and protective since she joined our family at 8 weeks old. Chris has done an incredible job at training us to train Maggie. Most recently, we had a lesson with Chris in Home Depot where we had Maggie lie down, we dropped the leash, and we went completely out of sight. Maggie remained lying down until we asked her to come. Maggie even jumped up on the rolling carts which would have been unthinkable just a short time ago. We have witnessed incredible progress from when we started with Chris’s help. Chris “trains the trainers” and it is working for us. We can’t thank Chris enough and we highly recommend him for anyone that has a dog with issues.

Chris was amazing! We hired a dog trainer previously that did not help us at all. We where desperate and then my friend referred Chris from using him in the past. He was very professional and calm-what I loved the most was that he trained us too on how to handle our dog! Thank you so much Chris. I highly recommend him!!!!

Had the pleasure to have Chris Park provide training sessions with me and my dog "Mykonos". Chris is brilliant with dogs and training us Humans as well! There are no bad dogs... just dog owners who need to learn Chris` proven techniques and the discipline to follow through with what he teaches. Chris Park should have his own TV show, perhaps some day! His connection with the dogs is amazing to experience and the results are incredible. I cannot recommend Chris enough. He will not waste your time or string you along for unnecessary training sessions.

The best experience i have ever had. I took my dog to 2 other trainers got nothing!! Chris walked into my home and taught myself and my pup so much, His love, patience and professionalism is Amazing, I have nothing but respect for this man. He is the Real Deal!! I loved working with Him, I tell everyone about Chris. If you need training for your dog, Chris Park is truly the BEST!!!!!

Our rescue pup, Skai, from Tennessee was 4 months old when our family went to pick her up. This was the first time our family owned a dog together and we were all on different pages, and had different ideas of what was best for “teaching” Skai. We tried an 8 week group training that just did not work for us and left Skai feeling over stimulated and frustrated. By the time December rolled around, we had a pup who thought she was in charge of the family! Fortunately, we met Chris Park and Cezar @ Dawg City and it was an instant match! Chris is the real deal. He is clearly an animal lover and teacher of animal behavior. In a few short sessions, we gained tremendous insight in how to “think like a dog.” Chris also had the patience and a sense of humor for our limited knowledge, the integrity to be honest about what he could and could not teach us, and extensive experience from years of training all breeds. Skai knew who was in charge when Chris walked in our door. With his help, we are much more confident in managing her behaviors inside the house and keeping her safe outside on our long walks in the woods. A small investment with tremendous pay off for our entire family. We highly recommend giving Chris a call for any help you may need with your dog. Wish we had walked into Dawg City and found Chris earlier!!

We asked Chris to come assess our 8 month old Black lab and after dedicating his time to us we left the "assessment" with more knowledge and practice skills than we could`ve dreamed. We then were so grateful to receive several weeks of individualized training in our own home and neighborhood, which allowed us to focus on specific needs and real-world activities that were critical to our training. Chris is a fantastic trainer, lover of dogs, and over great guy. Even though we had prior dog training knowledge, we quickly learned many of our behaviors and commands were only confusing our pup and adding to problematic habits. Chris took the time to explain to us and demonstrate how to consistently implement effective strategies. We are so happy with the result and would only recommend Chris moving forward. Once you meet him you will instantly recognize that his experience, knowledge, and skills are beyond any other! We thank him and Cezar for all their help with training Sonny!

Chris provided excellent and patient advice to us on the techniques necessary to achieve consistent results with training our new puppy and to break her of some bad habits she had gained over her first few months. His training worked!! We would highly recommend Chris.

Chris was instrumental in helping us with our rescue puppy. He has a great approach and if you are fortunate enough to meet Caesar his dog, you`ll get two experts for the price of one

Chris has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone his experience and command was obvious immediately. Both my dogs (Labradoodle and Bouvier) immediately took to Chris. Within just a month of training for my Bouvier pup at 7 months he understood I was alpha and wasn`t pushing boundaries. He helped to give my kids (6 & 7yo) more confidence to handle commands and know that even though the dog would be much bigger than them that he had to listen to them. We also got him to understand leash walking without pulling (heal, sit and down) outside which was very important to me

No matter the breed, behavior, or size, look no further for a dog trainer! Chris Park is who you need to hire! I can not say enough wonderful things about the experience and knowledge he provided for me and my dog. Highly recommended and happy to endorse Chris for his professional service!👍🐾🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Chris is an amazing dog trainer! He`s dedicated and will help you anyway he possibly can. I highly recommend him

We were seriously at the end of the line with our 7-month old German Shepherd due to his aggressive behavior with visitors, as well as difficulty we had in controlling him as he grew, when a friend told us about Chris. After a single visit with Chris, we knew we had found the guy to help us. Chris made us understand how a dog thinks and their reasoning for behaviors, and ultimately, he trains you, not the dog! After 10 trainings, we literally have the most amazing dog. I am so unbelievably happy with the experience we had with Chris and can not recommend anyone more highly. Seriously, if you need a trainer, CALL HIM!

Chris is the right choice for your training needs! Chris is an awesome dog trainer as well as a friendly, kind, calm and great person. He has a world of knowledge and lots of patience! We have an 11 month old German Shepherd puppy with behavioral issues like growling, snapping, barking at and biting the vacuum, jumping up, barking at visitors, and barking/growling at other dogs. His techniques without using a prong or e-collar work. He is teaching my son, my daughter and me how to communicate, handle, and become great leaders to Zah. We have been working with Chris for about 1.5 months and what a difference in Zah today! Thank you so very much for everything you`re doing with us! I highly recommend Chris!

Let me start by saying I have had dogs all my life but never a trained dog. Recently, I adopted a Lab Rottie mix and it wasn`t long after adopting Bentley I realized just how big he is going to be. He was certainly giving me a run for my money and at a very young age. I knew I needed some training and being from North Andover I looked into a few different training facilities in the area and decided to go with one in town. On day one Bentley and I walked into class to no less than 30 dogs in this one training class. About a half hour into class I was asked to take Bentley to the comer where they gated us off from all the other dogs. They said it was due to his size but really I think they did not know how to handle a puppy his size. To make a long story short I stuck it out for 5 training sessions and I can honestly say I knew nothing more on day 5 than I did on day one. Finally I quit. A few months went by and Bentley grew larger and so did his dominant attitude. No doubt he was ruling the house and my frustration was growing - Bentley was nothing short of a Denise the menus until one day I was at the local pet store in North Andover and while Bentley was eating everything in sight, pulling me down the isle, barking, knocking everything over the owner introduced me to Chris. Chris took Bentley and Boy Bentley knew right away Chris was the Alpha. Chris was calm and my dog just knew. After speaking to Chris about my training needs I hired him to train my dog (so I thought). After 3 visits with Chris I realized its me who needs the training and not my dog. Chris helped me to understand that Bentley wants nothing more than for me to be the leader, for me to be the head of the house. My dog didn`t need any more love (as if that was possible) he needed me to step up and show him who is boss. He needed me to provide the guidance and show him the way. He needed me to show him the rules and finally he needed me to understand his wants and needs so I can truly take care of him. Remember, I said I had dogs all my life well now I am middle age and just now for the very first time I am learning the right way to raise and to love my dog thanks to Chris, Chris has helped me to understand what my dogs is asking of me and most important he is helping me to communicate with him instead of confusing him. No other trainer has come to my home to observe my and Bentleys behavior but Chris did and immediately knew what was needed. Chris is training me, the owner= how to handle and manage my dog. Chris has helped me to understand my dogs needs and how to be an assertive leader. Bentley is on his way to being the best companion yet and my frustration has dissipated, I honestly say he is happier than ever and so am I. I don`t know what I would do with out Bentley in my life and to think back a month at how frustrated I was. Chris thank you so much for all you have done. Your an amazing trainer with tons of knowledge and I was so luckily to meet you.. Thanks Jane for the introduction !!!

★★★★★ Chris is THE most amazing dog trainer. After consulting with 2 different dog trainers and practicing the techniques and methods they taught, I was nearly convinced that I simply had a "bad" dog and the only option was euthanasia as recommended after a year of unsuccessful training. Despite her unacceptable behaviors - jumping up, knocking us down, growling, showing teeth, barking at anything that moved, snapping when corrected, my 3 children loved her. The very first session with Chris was nothing short of a miracle. He explained everything our dog was doing and why, as well as what we were doing that made the behaviors worse. He worked with the entire family, making sure each member (ages 8 - 55 years) was able to control Ripley. No more prong collar, no more e-collar. Chris is a brilliant trainer - calm, patient, in sync with dogs. He saved my dog`s life.

Chris Park was amazing with my two bulldogs Within a few sessions, they were trained not to "bolt" out the front door and to stay, stay, lie down and come. Chris was very patient studying to dogs to get to know their personalities and reactions, and in working with me and my family to show us how to communicate with the dogs so that we could continue making progress on our own. I highly recommend!

Uno de los mejores entrenadores de perros en el mundo! Me ayudo muchisimo con mi primer perro hace casi cinco años. Despues tuve tres mas y el siempre ha estado a mi lado entrenandolos,ayudandome en cualquier problema que he tenido. Ahora puedo decir con seguridad que puedo salir con mis cuatro perros a tomar cafe sin que molesten a nadie. Le echamos mucho de menos, es el unico entrenador que he conocido que quiere tanto a los perros. Todavia algunas veces le pido consejos y siempre esta aqui para que me ayude. Te queremos mucho!

I have been working with Chris for about 3 weeks now. I have a 1 year old lab, and was using a pinch collar so that she would not drag me everywhere. Chris worked with us without the a flat buckle collar. I learned to "speak" to my dog. She now waits for me to tell her what to do next, she is more responsive to my commands and I am more comfortable bringing her in public places. I am so grateful!

Chris, we would like to take this time to thank you for training Judy. It was such a pleasure to meet you and to share all of your expertise, knowledge and most of all your kindness. We highly recommend you!

Thank you, Chris for all your hard work ,without you our German shepherd would have left our home. Special thanks from our children.

Great trainer, great professional! Very friendly, came to see us and answered all questions we had. Loved the results of his work with Winston, our 14 month old lab. Would definitely recommend him!

I recently bought a dog and was looking for a good dog trainer. Chris was referred to me by a friend in Boston.And I set up an appointment to meet him. From the first moment his communication skills with my dog was beyond my expectations. He is an expert and helped me understand how I should communicate with my puppy. I highly recommend his work!!!!

I recently adopted a 2 year old mixed lab from a shelter who had behavioral issues. I stopped by Dawg City and they recommended Chris. He came and met my baby and assured me that there was hope and not to worry. He was a different dog in no time! I highly recommend him to anyone, he is an amazing dog trainer!!!

Chris Park is a great Dog Trainer and person. I was right to choose him as a trainer for my little Orfeas. His advice and training made him an obedient dog, easy to share your apartment with. He is a quiet and loving dog. Thank you Chris Park not because you trained my dog but because you trained me how to behave and act with a dog making our life easier.

In my Career I was very lucky because I met many wonderful people, special characters and Great professionals. Chris you are one of them. An authenticity in dog training, with a unique way of handling a dog. With your work on Gus you reminded me that a dog like him deserves not only my outmost respect and admiration, but also my Love. My Dear Friend I thank you for everything.

I believe I met you soon after you started your own Dog training business, and as many years I have known you were there for every dog that needed your help. Always willing to talk and explain with patience. I thank you for your immense help with my dogs from the shelters. All the dogs that I have tried to save, very often without any monetary rewards. Your efforts with my dogs have proven not only to me but many others, that you are not simply a great professional, but also a great Human being. I wish you a great future my Friend Chris.

Nothing but great experiences with Chris Park Dog Training. Chris is pleasant to work with, plus he gave us great insight into our GSD dog behavior. I am so thankful we found him few years ago. It made all the difference in the world. We get compliments on Maverick behavior all the time and Chris is really the person to thank! In closing, I`ve had a very successful experience with Chris, have a happier, trusting dog, and I am a much more confident dog owner. I recommend Chris Park highly.

Chris,not only has great love and passion for dogs but also a unique transmissibility. His way of training educates the owners(including myself) on how the dog receives commands and loves to execute them.The bond between owner and dog is something that Chris has achieved with his unique abilities.He is always there to continue sharing his knowledge for any upcoming questions.Great support threw out the years.Thank you for all that you taught me.

It was the need for a Dog Trainer that brought us to your door at first, but from the first moment we met you we came across an honest man who stood by us with patience not only during the training, but also any other time and for any other issue we needed you. I thank you Chris very much and wish you the best for you and your family.

The best trainer I ever met! He loves the dogs.Thank you for all and wish all the best to your new career in Boston,Μαss
