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

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. :)

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
