TESTIMONIALS

Bunny Foxhoven

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.

~Marlyn Huerta

Very great guy and supportive towards handlers. Don’t hesitate to ask questions he is happy to help!

Chris was amazing, and my dog is now so well-behaved that he can actually just “hang out” when I have company (instead of having to be put in another room). Would highly recommend these guys to anyone.
