Trusted by Vets, Champions & Tampa Leaders
Anyone can claim results. Very few trainers are recommended by the veterinarians, sport competitors, and public figures who trust them with their own dogs.
“If there is a better dog trainer in the Tampa Bay area I would be surprised. Chris worked wonders with our challenging German Shepherd… Thorough, responsive, and great with the dogs — I recommend him wholeheartedly.”
“We rescued a dog with serious behavioral issues. He did an amazing job in one month… saving his life. The daily care, attention, and training they received is amazing!”
“Chris is always the first to advocate for the animal… his reliability, consistency, and talents are clear. I trust Chris 100% with the training and care of my dogs.”
“Chris is one of the most accomplished trainers in North America. He coached me to national placements and a world team spot with my first sport dog.”

Board & Train FAQs
How long is the Board & Train program?
Programs run 2, 3, or 4 weeks depending on your dog’s needs. Two weeks covers manners, etiquette, and off-leash recall; three weeks adds more intensive obedience; four weeks is for bigger goals and tougher behavior issues. Request your plan and we’ll recommend the right length.
Will my dog actually listen at home — not just at your facility?

Yes. We have years of experience with serious behavioral cases — including rescues with significant issues. Tell us what’s happening and we’ll let you know how we can help.
