The Dog Trainer

"My wife, daughter, and I added a wonderful Goldie Retriever puppy, Goldie, to our family during the summer of 2023. Goldie is the kindest and sweetest dog, which is exactly what we wanted, but she also gets distracted very easily because she gets so excited to see people and other things in her environment. We struggled to get Goldie to listen to our commands and respect our household, so we searched the Central Ohio area for the best rated trainers. Chris with The Dog Trainer rose to the top. We arranged for Goldie to be placed in The Dog Trainer’s board and train program. Chris made sure that Goldie retained her cute and cuddliness qualities, while training her to respect us and our home - exactly what we wanted! Goldie now knows multiple commands to help ensure a well-behaved pup. We would not hesitate to recommend Chris to anyone who is in the need for dog training. He’s great!"

"This review is well overdue, but honestly I haven't quite known how to put it into words how wonderful our experience was with Chris, and how almost 2 years later we are still reaping the benefits. Chris spent 4 weeks with my stubborn (then) 9 year old girl, Stormy, in February of 2022. She had major issues with getting along with other dogs, and after nearly a year of her living with a new dog, Rex, she continued to fight with him. That's when I knew I had to do something, and I put my girl in Chris's hands. He was the perfect fit for her, and got her to where she needed to be with respecting me, my partner, and Rex. She respects and understands the e-collar, she sits & waits patiently for the 'ok' at meal times, but most importantly her and Rex have become best buds. They have so much fun together now and I have had a load of stress lifted off my back. Stormy has turned into quite the lover, and her eyes are softer, and I know this is part due to the work Chris did with her. She is happier and behaves much better. So thank you Chris for the work you did with Stormy, and for teaching us more about dog behaviors. We would highly recommend Chris for anyone who is needing corrective behavior training with their dogs both young or older."

"Chris was a perfect fit to train our Australian Shepherd in being the best dog he could be. 2 weeks after having him back home we're delighted to include our dog (STRESS FREE) in our family activities instead of managing chaos with his behaviors coupled with our 4 young children. Chris' method is clear, concise, direct, caring, and very well executed. We were well prepared when our dog came back home and have easily continued his lessons on our own. I highly recommend Chris, "The Dog Trainer" and this experience has exceeded my expectations in every way."

"Chris exceeded all of our expectations and more! We dropped off some crazy, hyper dogs and received back some relaxed well behaved pups that can finally be members of our family again. They work well under high distraction, have fun playing in the yard, are gentle around our baby, and relaxed and lovable members of our family. We can’t thank Chris enough for the peace of mind he gave us! Once he brought them home, he did a great job of teaching us how to maintain good and correct any bad behaviors. We can’t recommend him enough- definitely worth the investment!"

"Chris has done wonders training our 2 German Shepherds this past year. We honestly were at a crossing point with the oldest dog for bad behavior with other dogs and on walks. We are now able to take her anywhere with us and introduce her to other dogs with confidence. He truly is a miracle worker and we enjoy our pups so much more! Our quality of life has improved and the dogs are more well rounded. Thanks, Chris!!"
