TESTIMONIALS
Brooks was an amazing trainer for our golden retriever that we are training for our 11 year old daughter with ASD. He was professional, communication was a 10/10, and such a great teacher. We learned so much and it was so amazing to watch the transformation with our dog’s behavior.
Until I met Chris and Brooks at Elite K9 Training, my three German Shepherds were in charge and I was desperate for some control. The individualized in-home training with each dog was absolutely invaluable and we continue to learn at weekly group sessions. We have worked with other trainers, but the Elite K9 trainers have raised the bar.
This has been an amazing journey with our Pups... not only has Chris and his Team helped us teach our Pups to be much more obedient, but they have taught us to be much better at handling our Fuzzy Kids as well.
Brooks entered our home with a confident kindness and upbeat disposition. He was nonjudgmental and understanding about our situation and ultimately gave us hope. He was faithful in coming every week to train us and Max on how to open lines of communication; now we have a whole new skill set to work with!
Our dogs love Chris and responded immediately to his teaching. They are well on their way to the goals we have set! Great service and very easy to work with.
Chris W is an amazing trainer. I have a deaf dog (born deaf) that I adopted and was in way over my head. Within 3 sessions Chris had developed a customized program him sitting by hand signals! Chris was always willing to travel to me and work around my schedule. The rates are extremely reasonable. Highly recommend
We cannot thank the Elite K-9 Training team enough for putting in their time with us. Our Reagan cant be reactive towards other dogs and people, to the point where we emotionally struggled to take her on a daily walk.
Very great guy and supportive towards handlers. Don’t hesitate to ask questions he is happy to help!
