How Dogs Actually Learn
Dogs don’t learn through time alone — they learn through structure, consistency, and experience. Many behavior issues improve quickly once a dog has calm routines and clear expectations, but long-term success depends on reinforcing those behaviors in real-world environments. Our training focuses on helping dogs understand what’s expected of them everywhere, not just during lessons.

Canine Obedience Training
Obedience training builds the foundation for a well-mannered, reliable dog. Canine obedience training focuses on clear commands, consistency, and practical skills that work at home and in public. Training is structured to improve leash manners, recall, impulse control, and overall communication between dog and handler.
Behavior Modification Training
Behavior modification training addresses challenges such as reactivity, anxiety, fear-based behaviors, and impulse issues. Each behavior modification plan is customized based on the dog’s temperament, environment, and learning history. The goal is not just control, but lasting improvement through clear guidance and structured training.
Private Dog Training Lessons
Private training lessons provide individualized attention and a customized training plan for each dog. One-on-one sessions allow training to move at the right pace while addressing specific goals. Private lessons are ideal for owners who want focused canine training with direct feedback and hands-on coaching.
K9 & Working Dog Training
K9 dog training is designed for working dogs, performance dogs, and handlers seeking advanced reliability. Training emphasizes drive control, obedience under distraction, and real-world application. Programs are structured to develop confident, capable K9s through clear expectations and consistent training methods.
Pack Integration & Multi-Dog Households
Pack integration training helps create structure and balance in multi-dog households. Training focuses on clear boundaries, calm behavior, and healthy social dynamics. The goal is harmonious living through consistent leadership and structured canine training.

Considering I'm only ever away from our puppy, Bodhi, for more than a couple of hours at a time; I was nervous about sending him to board and train. But as soon as I met Chris in person and saw how calm and kind he interacted with Bodhi, all of that anxiety went away. I was immediately impressed with with how quickly he went to work with our dog, not only training him but teaching myself and my husband based on our dog's specific needs. He updated us throughout his stay and assured us he was being his normal goofy self, but that he was thriving getting to learn under an experienced hand. Bodhi has since developed problem solving skills, and I have become a more confident dog owner. Chris most certainly has our greatest respect for his time and dedication.

Chris is extremely knowledgeable about all areas of caring for a new puppy. He is aware of things like dietary needs, age appropriate exercises and much more. With a one hour private lesson Chris has shown my daughter and I common undesirable behaviors to look for and how to discourage them. His insight and instruction have given me a lot of much needed tools to get the most out of the time I am spending with my new puppy. I highly recommend him if you need help with dog training.

I came to Chris after rescuing a Malinios. Feeling out of my depth with a mal, I asked Chris to help me with sports training, and understanding what owning a sport dog is like. He has been a wonderful mentor and friend through the process, and my Mal has made huge strides. His knowledge and experience far surpasses my expectations.
