Customer Reviews
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Sundog and Chris. In 4 sessions my dog has been totally transformed from a resource guarding growler to a pup that happily plays and shares toys and food with our other dogs. Chris is a compassionate trainer who was flexible with schedule, location and even added my other dogs into the mix. Thank you, Chris! - Danbury, CT
- C ACan’t say enough about Chris! Abby was a foster fail two years ago after being found as a stray. An anxious dog with limited basic commands and my need to have her get along with another foster pup, Chris was contacted. His knowledge, patience and training techniques using positive reinforcement has been incredibly effective after just a few short lessons. He is always available to answer any questions I might have and is able to recommend products that have been quite useful in the health and wellbeing of my pup. I am so grateful to work with such a wonderful trainer! - Danbury, CT
- D AI have worked with Chris for many years through New Fairfield Sherman Animal Welfare. He is a great positive reinforcement dog trainer, with a tremendous understanding of the dog’s behaviors and thought processes. Great trainer to work with for sure! - New Fairfield, Connecticut
