Chris did an outstanding job training our dog, Bosco. From day one, it was obvious that he has a deep understanding of dog behavior and knows how to tailor his approach to each dog. He was patient, professional, and took the time to teach us just as much as he taught Bosco. The difference in Bosco has been incredible. He’s more obedient, calmer, and much more focused. Walks are easier, his recall is reliable, and we have a much better relationship because we understand how to communicate with him. Chris genuinely cares about the dogs he works with and is passionate about helping owners succeed long after the training is over. If you’re looking for someone who delivers real, lasting results, I couldn’t recommend Chris and K9 Solutions more highly. It was one of the best investments we’ve made for Bosco.

I’ve been a SAR K9 handler for nearly a quarter century. My partners were on a 20ft long lead wilderness training or deployed to finding missing persons. They were either working in the field or in their crates. Along comes Jethro, with whom I will be doing different work, which will be around other dogs, and I realized two things: I’ve never had experience socializing my dogs to be passive around other dogs in close proximity, and I’ve never taught a dog to “heel”. Both which will be necessities in our future work. I’m GRATEFUL BEYOND MEASURE that I met Chris and Magda because of their patience, Chris’s ability to specifically identify issues and ways to remedy them for a positive growth and Jethro’s and my teamwork if / when we are working in a therapy needed environment with other dogs. I’m also an American Red Cross Volunteer, so my goal is for us to be utilized with their Services to Armed Forces as well as our work as a newly certified First Responder Therapy Dogs team. Under Chris’s guidance, encouragement and public training environments geared to assist me in becoming much more comfortable in effectively developing my “muscle memory” so that I don’t overcorrect or that I correct properly for us to achieve beauty in our work as a therapy team for first responders and to our active and veteran military community. Hiring Chris and Magda Auricchio was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Chris is amazing! He worked with my 5.5-year-old doodle, Leo, and honestly…I think he trained me just as much as he trained the dog. Simple review: results = a well-trained dog and a slightly more well-behaved mom 😊🐶 My dog appreciates me more and respects me more after training—which says a lot! Chris makes everything feel easy and doable. 10/10 recommend if you want your dog to listen… and improve your dog mom or dad skills too

Chris is an incredible dog trainer! We couldn’t be more grateful for Chris and everything he’s done for our dog Loki. We signed up for 18 sessions with him, and the difference in our dog has been unbelievable. Before training, our dog was food aggressive, barked excessively at anything and anyone, pulled on the leash, and pretty much did whatever he wanted. From the very first session, we started seeing real changes. Now he’s calm, well-behaved, walks perfectly on heel, and has learned how to socialize properly with dogs and humans. Chris is incredibly knowledgeable and straightforward, which we really appreciated. He didn’t just train our dog — he trained us too. He communicated clearly, corrected us when needed (which was super helpful), and always made sure we were part of the process. His approach is firm, honest, and extremely effective. Also even though Chris corrected our dog a lot during training, our dog LOVED him, which says a lot about the kind of trainer he is. We’re beyond grateful and couldn’t have asked for a better trainer. Highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for real, lasting change with their dog!

We cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional training provided by Chris and Magda from K9 Solutions Dog Training. From the initial consultation to the final stages of training, their expertise, dedication, and genuine care for both our puppy and us was evident. Chris possesses a remarkable understanding of canine behavior. He tailored the training program to perfectly suit our dogs individual needs and temperament, ensuring a positive and effective learning experience. What truly sets Chris & Magda apart is their commitment to providing comprehensive support and guidance. They took the time to educate my husband and I on how to effectively communicate with our dog, reinforce learned behaviors, and maintain a consistent training routine. Their patience and willingness to answer our numerous questions was invaluable. They are an incredible team that is caring. kind and passionate about all the dogs! The positive impact they both have on our life is immeasurable. As first time dog owners, this is exactly what we needed and more. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking dog training. Their expertise, compassion, and dedication are unparalleled. They have truly made a life-changing difference for both our dog and us. We also highly recommend group classes. This was huge for our dog.

I can’t recommend K9 Training Solution highly enough! Our golden doodle, Ivy went from barely being able to walk on a leash to confidently walking off-leash, thanks to Chris and his incredible team. If you feel like you’ve lost hope in training your dog, look no further. Chris’s expertise and the personalized techniques he teaches have transformed our experience as dog owners. We now feel at ease taking our furry friend out in public without the fear of barking outbursts. The skills and confidence we’ve gained through their training have made a world of difference. Thank you, K9 Training Solution, for giving us our peace of mind back!

We can’t recommend Chris enough! He trained our shihpoo puppy, Cookie, and we started working with him when she was just 15 weeks old. Many trainers told us she was too young to start, but Chris never hesitated and we’re so glad we trusted him. Cookie was a typical puppy: barking for attention, biting hands and clothes, and struggling with leash walking. Chris was beyond amazing. He didn’t just train Cookie, he taught my husband and me how to communicate with her properly. Thanks to Chris, Cookie now walks beautifully on leash, listens to commands, has great recall, and we give attention on our terms, not hers. Because of Chris’s training, Cookie is now service dog certified, which we never imagined possible when we first started. If you have a new puppy (or are feeling overwhelmed), do yourself a favor and call Chris. You won’t regret it!

We had an excellent experience working with Chris at K9 Solutions to train my husband’s 9-year-old Goldendoodle as a mobility and balance support service dog. From the beginning, Chris demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and patience. He developed a customized training plan that effectively built the skills needed for mobility and balance assistance. Throughout the process, Chris maintained clear communication, explaining each stage of training and providing practical techniques my husband could reinforce at home. His calm, positive approach created an environment where my husband and his dog thrived and gained confidence in his Doodle’s role. Thanks to Chris’s outstanding guidance, our Goldendoodle is now reliably performing mobility tasks and offering steady balance support in public settings. We highly recommend Chris to anyone seeking a skilled, compassionate, and professional service dog trainer.

I have a very energetic golden retriever puppy named Whiskey that needed training ASAP, and Chris was incredible. He was very accommodating with my schedule and location, and his priority was making sure Whiskey got the training he needed. He also trained my sister’s dog that lives in the same household, and we were able to build better relationships with our pups because of him. I highly recommend working with him if you're ready to put in the work needed to get your dog trained!

Chris at K9 Solutions expertly assessed our dog and helped us come up with the best training solution for our dog for him to be happy and successful in our home. They were fantastic and very helpful.

Chris is hands down the best trainer. I’m so grateful we were introduced to him. I am generally skeptical of most things and Chris wow-ed me with his kindness, education, knowledge, and PATIENCE. He trained us really well in order to train our sweet Patty Girl. He knows his stuff and is truly an animal and human whisperer. We have a very happy well developed 7 month old golden retriever and we wouldn’t have been here without Chris’s guidance and structure. Even more amazing was the bond that we deepened with Patty through training. We are so happy with the outcome and will recommend Chris to anyone who is seeking a superior trainer. Thank you Chris and K9 Solutions!

Chris is amazing!! I needed trained more than my dog and Chris was very patient and extremely kind to me and my dog! He boosted my confidence and trained my dog the highest level of obedience! Chris adapted the service training to best meet my needs with my limitations! If you want the best trainer go with Chris! We trained with 2 other trainers and it wasn't a good fit, Chris was exactly what I and my dog needed! His group classes are amazing the way he handles all different dogs with different needs is amazing! My dog LOVED Chris and going to the training classes! Thank you Chris!! 💛

I would 100% recommend K9 solutions dog training to everyone! My dog is a rescue and has a lot of ptsd and overtime became extremely dog reactive. When we started working with Chris my dog would react at another dog 200 yards away, pulling and lunging and barking. Chris was so patient with my dog, who has some special handicap quirks. My dog normally takes a while to warm up to strange men, but by the second lesson Saul was excited to see Chris. Now 6 weeks later and my dog has gone off leash in the BIG DOG park!!! Neighbors tell me how well behaved he is and dogs he once reacted to he is now learning to interact with and even play. I am still in shock that I can now walk past another dog and stop and talk to the other dogs owner with no problems. It’s the most rewarding thing I have ever done for my dog and Chris really teaches you everything you need to know and works with you. If you are willing to put the work in and follow his advice your dog will be so much happier and confident. Best trainers ever! (And Saul loves the treats)

I cannot recommend Chris enough! When I first brought my dog Calypso (German Shepherd/ Husky mix) in for training she was an excited reactive around other dogs and showed slight aggression towards strangers. She was just so terrified of anything new and strange. Trying to take her out for a walk was trying not to get dragged by an 82 pound dog when she saw a new ‘friend’ she wanted to play with(I’m only 5’2). She’s the biggest baby, super sweet and goofy but most people only saw her ‘high on crack’ side before Chris. But thanks to Chris, Calypso is now a service animal and off leash trained. He’s absolutely amazing! It definitely took time to learn how to communicate with her and 80% of it was me needing to learn. However, the progress we made has been incredible and I just can’t thank Chris enough. He not only helped Calypso but he brought me and her closer together. Through his guidance I learned how to communicate with her better and strengthen our bond. We’ve gone from managing her reactivity to working together as a team and that’s a gift I could never repay. She was already my rock beforehand but now she is my biggest supporter in my day to day life. I honestly don’t know what I would do without her help now. The progress we’ve made together has become such an integral part of my life and I’m forever grateful to Chris and his family. He was always there anytime I had questions or concerns. I’ve had other trainers before but Chris is unmatched. I highly recommend him for any type of training you need. From basics to service dog training he’s amazing and with you every step of the way. A very big thanks from both Calypso and me! We both absolutely love him, his training sessions and his group sessions! ❤️ 🐾

Magda and Chris have a special way with all breeds and ages of dogs. Our family is so grateful and impressed with the professional training program. They have given us the support and necessary tools to have a well behaved and loving dog. Their team has built a long lasting relationship with our dog and family. Thank you K9 solutions!

I can't recommend Chris at K9 Training Solutions enough! His training methods are incredibly gentle yet highly effective. From the first session, it was clear that he truly understands dogs and knows how to communicate with them in a way that’s both kind and respectful. We have a very energetic and sensitive cavapoo puppy and she has made amazing progress, and it’s all thanks to the patience and positive reinforcement Chris uses. He creates a calm and supportive environment that makes learning enjoyable for both the dog and owner.Hiring Chris was the best decision ever and now we can take our little girl everywhere without any worries. Thank you Chris!!

We found K-9 Solutions online and read the reviews. This convinced us to call Chris and set up a training regiment for our 9 month old Maltipoo, Olive. Our training objective was a mixture. We needed to stop the jumping and barking and we also needed her to learn socialization and being around other dogs. We began with group sessions on Saturdays to start and then moved to individual lessons twice a week. We have had great success. I just sent Chris a video yesterday of her walking off leash right next to me in public; never leaving my side and sitting whenever I stopped. This is all within a few weeks. Chris and his wife are very friendly people and we always felt comfortable with them training and assisting with Olive. This has been such a positive and rewarding experience for us and for Olive. I highly recommend K9 Solutions.

Excellent experience with the dog trainer! I am very satisfied with the trainer's work. From the first session, he demonstrated patience, professionalism, and a deep understanding of canine behavior. My dog ​​used to pull a lot on the leash and not respond to basic commands, but after a few sessions, changes began to appear. He uses positive techniques and takes the time to teach you as the owner, which was invaluable. In addition, he was always punctual, attentive, and answered all my questions. Now our walks are calmer, and my dog ​​is more balanced at home. I highly recommend him if you are looking for real and lasting changes in your pet's behavior.

Chris changed my life! I have a high energy Vizsla puppy and Chris helped us from when he was about 11 weeks old till now (7months old) and he is such a well trained, socialized dog now because of Chris. He has no reactivity around other dogs, no pulling on the leash, or misbehaving in public because of Chris. If you are looking for someone who is extremely knowledgeable and can help you be the best dog owner you can be, this is the guy!!

This review is worthy of way more than five stars! K9 Solutions Dog Training is an absolute savior. Their extreme knowledge, dedication, and expertise was the guiding light during this training. We watched our dog, Cooper, grow into a polite and well mannered young man. The training that K9 Solutions Dog Training provided allowed us to unlock the potential we never knew existing. We now have the strongest bond with our dog, and I can’t thank them enough! This is just the beginning of the endless possibilities we now have with Cooper.

Not only are Chris and Magda PHENOMENAL dog trainers, they are wonderful people. We have a 13 year old rescue who has leash aggression and some other isms after a rough start in life, and then we recently added a playful pup into our pack. The new addition was not welcomed by all, until we started working with Chris and Magda. Now as you can see in the photo, they even sleep together! Chris is now specifically working with our puppy to train him as a service dog, fingers crossed the little man is up to the task (the pup that is!). I have worked with trainers in the past, and what stands out about Chris and Magda are their knowledge and love of dogs, their one-on -one approach to training, their focus on training through positive reinforcement, and their dedication to our dogs happiness and success. They are personable, dedicated, very knowledgeable, and responsive to the needs of the dog, for example one of ours was recently sick, so we postponed training, and Chris called every day for updates, to offer suggestions, and support for the us! I have NO hesitation about recommending them, save them becoming too busy. The highest praise I can give is that both of our dogs love Chris and Magda and as puppy parents we couldn't be more proud.

Shout out to Chris! When we first met, Kane was not confident, he was not socialized at all, people and dog aggressive. And not to mention didn’t know how to walk on a leash. I was scared to have people come over to my house, let alone going out in public places. I can honestly say I have a completely different dog. He has learned to sit, stay, heel, down, and place. The individual and group sessions were exactly what Kane needed. We can now have guests over without fear of him being aggressive. We now bring him shopping with us and it is enjoyable. Can’t wait to bring him camping and take him on all our adventures. He has come such a long way. And I will need to continue on his training to ensure his success. Can’t thank Chris enough, without him and his guidance and techniques none of this would of been possible. Kane and Khloe 🐾🐾 highly recommend!

We’re so grateful to Chris for helping our dog, Fifi, successfully complete her PAT test! He was incredibly easy to work with, patient, and knowledgeable. Not only did he train Fifi, but he also guided us in becoming better trainers ourselves. His clear instructions, encouragement, and dedication made the whole process enjoyable and rewarding. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dog trainer!

Chris trained our 11 year old little Shihtzu mix. You can teach an old dog new tricks. She went from highly dog reactive to calm and steady. She went from frantic on flights to calmly sleeping through a 9 hour flight recently. Her life has changed for the better and so has ours. Highly recommend Chris.

Chris doesn’t just train dogs, he trains humans too. We reached out to K9 Solutions when our Weimaraner puppy was about 10 weeks old. After a consultation over the phone with Chris, who was very professional, he advised us not to enroll in puppy training (since the dog didn’t have any major behavioral issues), but to wait until he turned 4-5 months old and then start the obedience course. That’s exactly what we did, and we couldn’t be happier. It's such an important investment when you decide to get a large dog. I work with horses, so it was crucial for me that my dog is obedient both on and off leash for safety purposes. I now feel completely confident taking my dog literally anywhere. Chris gave me and my husband all the tools to continue training our dog, and now the sky is the limit. Although we finished the course, we will definitely be back for more advanced training. Chris makes it super fun and creates a personalized program for each dog. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about K9 Solutions Dog Training and our incredible trainer, Chris. When I first brought my dog to them, she was completely out of control—lunging at every animal and person we passed on walks, ignoring commands, and creating chaos in the house. Walking her was stressful and frustrating, and I honestly didn’t know where to turn. Chris From day one, he took the time to understand my dog’s behavior and tailored a training program that worked wonders. Fast forward to today—she now walks calmly next to me off-leash. That’s not an exaggeration. She listens to every command, no longer reacts to distractions, and is so much more relaxed and well-behaved at home. She no longer destroys things, and I finally feel like I have a real connection and communication with her. The group sessions were also a game changer. With 10–12 dogs in each class, I was amazed to see how Chris managed the environment to ensure every dog was learning how to exist calmly around others. By the end, dogs that would normally react were simply coexisting, focused, and responsive. It was impressive and inspiring. If you’re struggling with your dog’s behavior, do not wait—K9 Solutions and Chris will change your life and your dog’s life. I only wish I had found them sooner

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Chris! He is an amazing dog trainer and human being. I was blessed with the opportunity to have him train my dog and I. She spent her first 8 months In a concrete pen with no human contact. When we rescued her, she was so scared of everyone and everything. She didn’t know any basic commands and would drag me away from other people and dogs.(She even fractured my tibia when trying to get away from another dog). Working with Chris was wonderful, he taught me so much about how to handle her and why she behaved the way she did. He is always available anytime I have a question or concern. He is honestly the best trainer I have ever worked with. We did the 12 weeks of training and she is now the happy confident, social girl I knew she could be. Today she graduated from obedience training and she passed her service dog access. I highly recommend Chris for any and all of your dog training needs. We had the most past positive. Experience and I am truly great for all he has done for us.

I cannot recommend Chris enough. My sister and I brought a very skittish dog in for training, and Chris not only helped Alfie, but taught us how to best treat our dog during and away from training. Chris' knowledge of dog training and ability to teach it to his clients is impressive and immensely beneficial. Our dog has become so much more confident, and so have we in our abilities to continue to bring the best out of him.

Chris is phenomenal! I can’t say enough good things. He was willing to answer any of our questions, no matter what topic, in and outside of the training sessions. He was very observant and got to know our and our dog’s personalities so that he could customize the training to best fit our lifestyle. He had a large variety of obedience programs from 1:1 programs, in home and in public locations, to group classes so that our dog, Echo, would have several different training situations. He is patient, thoughtful, fun and sets you up for success. With Chris we received the Puppy Star, CGC, CGCA and Service dog designations. Echo loves Chris so much that his tail doesn’t stop wagging when he sees him - and that is the most important test of all.

I need to start by saying that if I could give 10 stars, I would!! There is no doubt that Chris was a dog in his former life. From their first meeting, there was an instant sense of calm and understanding and a mutual respect that I had not seen before from my newly rescued, very stubborn 3 month old bully mix. Its, literally, like he was speaking her language. She respected him and allowed him to lead her. Chris is LEGIT, a miracle worker. It was definitely me that needed the most training and he was able to do that too. He explains things so that they make sense so that WE are better!! Its only then that our dogs can also be better. I cant thank you enough, Chris!! for MY training and for Ellie's too!! 6 months later, I'M still a work in progress but WE'RE better because of you!!

My son and I are very thankful to Christopher. He helped us with our German Shepherd She-Ra who was very reactive. Car rides and walks at the park were almost impossible. She-Ra would lunge and bark constantly at people and cars (honestly just about anything) it was difficult. Thankfully we found Christopher who changed all of that. With his expertise we are now able to enjoy car rides and walks at the park. She-Ra even went to the mall and other places where there is a lot of people and she did good. I never thought we would be able to take her anywhere. Christopher not only trained She-Ra but also trained my son and I. We are all so happy, you could really see the difference in She-Ra. It was a great journey with our teacher☺️ Mr. Christopher. I couldn’t thank him enough for everything he showed us. I highly recommend Christopher! Thank you so much Chris!

I started with Chris on a recommendation from a friend, as I wanted to get a better recall on my 10 month old Rottweiler, Piper. Her basic commands were all fairly good but when she was at a distance, it was hit or miss. I wanted some e-collar instruction so I could learn to use it properly. I made the right decision. In a short time, Chris had Piper realizing the right response to "Piper, come!". It was very quick. I would not have had this much success had I tried it on my own! Furthermore, since that went so well, we went a little further and went to various busy locations (malls, downtown WPB, the airport etc) and with just small tweaks have her walking/behaving like a professional service dog. It's amazing! Chris is very professional and wants answers from them but not "militant", which goes a long way since essentially Piper is a farm/family dog. He's helped us to keep making her an all around great dog! Chris also has a great sense of humour, which made the experience easier and made me more relaxed and better able to digest what he was teaching me! This was a super experience. I am not local but definately will work with Chris further when here next winter to expand on her training! Thanks Chris!!

I adopted a rescue that didn't come when called, was fence fighting with the neighbors dogs and was difficult to walk. In 12 sessions with Chris I now have a well behaved dog. His program and results have been life changing for me and my dog He is not only professional in his approach to training but also extremely knowledgeable about all breeds and behaviors

I would 100% recommend putting your puppies training in Chris’s and Magda’s hands. Had an amazing experience with them. Helped turned my anxious SHAR PEI puppy who would not step foot into a publix, to a pup who can take commands anywhere we go. At the end of the training sessions I can confidently say that I came out with a completely different puppy, we worked behavioral issues that developed throughout the weeks, when the puppy was getting to confident, so I can definitely say that Chris and Magda do pay attention to detail and do offer THE BEST personalized training program.

I can’t recommend Chris enough! My dog Woody was extremely nervous and afraid of everything—walks, new people, even sudden, loud noises at home. It broke my heart to see him so anxious, and I wasn’t sure if he’d ever feel comfortable in the world. Enter Chris! From the very first session, Chris was patient, understanding, and clearly experienced with nervous dogs. He took the time to get to know Woody and worked at a pace that made Woody feel safe. Chris used positive reinforcement and simple corrections, always explaining his methods so I could continue the training at home. The results have been amazing. Woody is now so much more confident—he actually enjoys going on walks and exploring the neighborhood! He listens to commands, is more obedient, and seems genuinely happier and more relaxed. I’m so grateful for Chris’s expertise and kindness. If you have a nervous or anxious dog, Chris is the trainer you need! Thank you, Chris, for helping Woody become the brave, happy pup he was meant to be.

Training with Chris at K9 Solutions was a pleasure. We completed a 6 week program with our 9 month lab Malcolm and the progress we made exceeded my expectations. We had some behavioral challenges and Chris addressed each issue with clear instructions . He sees the best in every dog and knows how to channel that . He gave us all the tools we needed to be able to enjoy our puppy and I’m forever grateful for that .

Chris has completely transformed my Rottweiler, Hunter. He used to show aggressive behavior that made everyday life tough, but now he’s much calmer, confident, obedient, and much easier to handle. Chris was patient, professional, and went above and beyond with understanding Hunter’s needs. Highly recommend, can’t say enough positive things about our experience!

Chris was absolutely amazing. He took a dog that was afraid of everything and turned him into the best version of himself. We had an impossible mission turn a scared little yorkie mix into an obedient service dog in 6 weeks. Mind you, this time frame was only because I live in Tampa and drove to Palm Beach every week just because of Chris! It was a sacrifice training every week after work (working full time) and after classes (2 classes a well) and driving to Palm beach 225 miles, but everything was worth it! Uruca turned out amazing and continues to do amazing even after the training is over! I cannot recommend Chris enough!!

Cannot say enough good things about Chris and K9 Solutions Dog Training, but I’ll try to narrow it down. From the very first session Chris showed us the potential in our dog, Panga. The sessions were always fun and interactive but no corners were cut. If we needed to meet at a specific location to work on a specific skill, we did it. Because of that, I’d say he really goes out of his way for success. In 6 weeks our puppy went from blissfully unaware and clueless (in a cute, puppy way) to completely aware of her surroundings, de-sensitized to stimulating environments and most importantly obedient. She listens, she knows who her owner is, and the most majestic bird in the sky couldn’t take her attention away from me when I command it. I feel more bonded with Panga than ever, we trust each other. I firmly believe everyone should make the effort to bond with their dog this way. It makes for a fulfilling life with her. Thank you Chris and K9 Solutions Dog Training!!!!!!

I highly recommend Chris's services for young or older pups. He is extremely professional and an overall amazing dog trainer. He gave us the tools and confidence in 12 sessions to help our 11 year old highly reactive dog (to dogs, cats, birds, people, children, noises, etc.) become a well behaved world traveler. It's really an amazing outcome.

Chris from K9 Solutions dog Training was a life saver! He was a pleasure to work with and he got my husband and I clear on how to work with our dog, Merlin. Merlin was very spoiled and had fear issues around new people. With Chris's help, Merlin has become a calmer, happier and more obedient dog. I can open my front door without him running out the door and nipping at visitors. I can walk him without him barking and jumping on people. Merlin listens to us and is much ore confident. None of this would have been possible without the loving and helpful support and guidance of Chris. He has always been available between sessions through text and phone. He cares a lot about his clients and checks in. He gave us tools that have changed our lives and our relationship with our dog. I recommend him 100% and if you have the opportunity to work with him, you are very fortunate and I would jump at the chance.

Chris and K9 Solutions Dog Training is the real deal. Before you embark on your Dog Training journey, please understand that “Dog” training is best executed through Owner Training, and therefore this is not a service that is provided at the leisure and convenience of the customer. Rather, this is a commitment for you, your family, and your dog to engage with and experience together, which will produce confidence, satisfaction and results commensurate with the efforts put into it. We will continue training with Chris into the foreseeable future!

What a great experience! We had a rambunctious 3 yr old American Bulldog/Dogo Argentino mix who jumped on people, had impulse issues, dog aggression, and more--with any dog that's a lot to deal with but it's so much more chaotic when your pup is 100+ lbs. We tried big box store training but it was too cookie cutter. Atlas needed one on one help to get in line. Chris was so fantastic! He was patient and kind and helpful. He focuses on the things he thinks you need to work on and the things you want to work on. He'll teach YOU as much if not more than he teaches your dog. Pay attention, put in the work, and he will get you to where you want to be with your pup. We now have a well-behaved dog we can take out in public (before it was just stress piled on stress), who obeys commands (even when he doesn't want to!), and is a joy to show off (rather than being embarrassed by his idiot behavior). I can even get him to stay out of the kitchen when I'm cooking! I can't thank Chris and Magda enough for their help with Atlas. Do yourself a favor and get the training for you and your dog--you deserve to live in harmony with your pup!

We are very grateful for the training Chris provided to our dog. It was the best return on investment. Our dog now listens, no longer begs for food, and can walk off leash. It was an amazing transformation after 12 weeks of training. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing experience working with Chris. He helped us with obedience training as well as some challenging behaviors, including dog reactivity and fence fighting. From the very first session, it was clear that Chris truly understands dogs. He took the time to get to know Riley — our 2.5-year-old Boxer — and tailored the entire training plan specifically to her needs. Chris is incredibly informative, patient, and clear with his instructions. He not only worked hands-on with Riley, but also made sure we understood why certain behaviors were happening and how to continue reinforcing the training at home. We saw real improvements, and Riley responded so well to Chris’s guidance. She’s a different dog now! If you’re looking for someone who is skilled, compassionate, and committed to helping both dogs and their owners succeed, Chris is the trainer you want. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend K9 Solutions Dog Training!

Chris is completely amazing! We got a recommendation from a friend and believe me this guy will train any dog 100% guaranteed. We rescued a dog that had lived his whole life in a shelter and/or foster care. Sweet dog, but extremely prey driven and we have a very busy farm with other animals and dogs that he needs to respect and we also we have little kid visitors that he can’t knock over or resource guard food/toys. He gave me an honest evaluation before we committed to anything and my dog is even better trained than I expected. We did end up having to train on an e collar and prong but it worked and he listens! I even take him on outings to tractor supply and neighborhood walks. We did a lot of training at the mall too and this dog “heels” and walks by my side off leash even and “leaves it” even when tempted with human treats. We will continue to work with him now that we are done with training but I could not have done this without his help and expertise. Without training I could have had a dangerous dog instead of a sweet trained dog. Training can be expensive but believe me in the long run it is worth it. (I had a previous dog that was somewhat of a trouble maker and it cost me thousands in vet bills when she attacked another dog and then I had to get training on top of that so she could continue living with us!)

Chris with K9 solutions is an absolute dog whisperer! Our very reactive dog, Cooper, transformed into a much more relaxed and confident dog by the end of our 12 sessions. Chris was so focused on Cooper’s needs every step of the way. He checks in with phone calls in between sessions each week and emails thorough, at-home assignments to keep up with in between appointments. This training was worth every penny and we highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to improve their dog’s quality of life.

We saw outstanding results with Chris and Magda at k9 solutions! They are great people and it is always a pleasure working with them during sessions. They really do care about your dogs and want to see success and happiness for them. My boyfriend and I have worked with numerous dog trainers for our 3 pups and nothing has ever worked. We had issues with barking, leash pulling, aggression, car rides, knocking on the door… basically everything! But Chris and Magda helped us learn how to communicate with and teach our dogs in a way that they would understand and that would bring results. In just a few sessions, we saw results that were completely measurable and obvious. I was honesty astonished at how quickly dogs can learn new behaviors when taught the right way. It’s been an awesome experience to see the changes and it’s brought a better quality of life for all of us. Can’t say thank you enough to them.

Amazing and worth every penny x10!!! We hired Chris and Magda to work with Luna (3 years old) who was having increasing aggressive behavior towards smaller dogs that was triggered by a dog that attacked Luna on the dog beach last Spring 2022. Chris and Magda not only teach their clients' dog the acceptable behavior around other dogs but they also teach the owners how to build and strengthen the obedience and correct behavior with their dog. 6 weeks ago Luna was not fully listening to me, she had poor recall and she was trying to be dominate towards smaller dogs and was scared of bigger dogs. She now comes on command, checks in with me on our walks, and can socialize with all sized dogs with no issues. We now have the tools to continue to refine our training that we learned during our sessions. With the training and tools Chris and Magda have given Luna and I, we will now be able to go back to the dog beach to run off leash, go to public places and not cause inconveniences to others and be able to have the right recall if there was ever an issue, she comes backs and is safe. No matter what age your dog is and if they need their behavior corrected, from aggression, to recall, to obedience, and much more, I would reach out to Chris and Magda because they will be able to teach both you and your dog the correct behavior so you can enjoy stress free adventures together.

Chris with K9 Solutions is SUPER AMAZING. I have had many dog trainers throughout the years and I feel that Chris has been THE MOST EFFECTIVE, super knowledgable and very professional dog trainer. I would recommend anyone and everyone who needs a dog trainer to reach out to Chris.chris is EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!

Chris did an outstanding job training our dog, Bosco. From day one, it was obvious that he has a deep understanding of dog behavior and knows how to tailor his approach to each dog. He was patient, professional, and took the time to teach us just as much as he taught Bosco. The difference in Bosco has been incredible. He’s more obedient, calmer, and much more focused. Walks are easier, his recall is reliable, and we have a much better relationship because we understand how to communicate with him. Chris genuinely cares about the dogs he works with and is passionate about helping owners succeed long after the training is over. If you’re looking for someone who delivers real, lasting results, I couldn’t recommend Chris and K9 Solutions more highly. It was one of the best investments we’ve made for Bosco.

I’ve been a SAR K9 handler for nearly a quarter century. My partners were on a 20ft long lead wilderness training or deployed to finding missing persons. They were either working in the field or in their crates. Along comes Jethro, with whom I will be doing different work, which will be around other dogs, and I realized two things: I’ve never had experience socializing my dogs to be passive around other dogs in close proximity, and I’ve never taught a dog to “heel”. Both which will be necessities in our future work. I’m GRATEFUL BEYOND MEASURE that I met Chris and Magda because of their patience, Chris’s ability to specifically identify issues and ways to remedy them for a positive growth and Jethro’s and my teamwork if / when we are working in a therapy needed environment with other dogs. I’m also an American Red Cross Volunteer, so my goal is for us to be utilized with their Services to Armed Forces as well as our work as a newly certified First Responder Therapy Dogs team. Under Chris’s guidance, encouragement and public training environments geared to assist me in becoming much more comfortable in effectively developing my “muscle memory” so that I don’t overcorrect or that I correct properly for us to achieve beauty in our work as a therapy team for first responders and to our active and veteran military community. Hiring Chris and Magda Auricchio was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Chris is amazing! He worked with my 5.5-year-old doodle, Leo, and honestly…I think he trained me just as much as he trained the dog. Simple review: results = a well-trained dog and a slightly more well-behaved mom 😊🐶 My dog appreciates me more and respects me more after training—which says a lot! Chris makes everything feel easy and doable. 10/10 recommend if you want your dog to listen… and improve your dog mom or dad skills too

Chris is an incredible dog trainer! We couldn’t be more grateful for Chris and everything he’s done for our dog Loki. We signed up for 18 sessions with him, and the difference in our dog has been unbelievable. Before training, our dog was food aggressive, barked excessively at anything and anyone, pulled on the leash, and pretty much did whatever he wanted. From the very first session, we started seeing real changes. Now he’s calm, well-behaved, walks perfectly on heel, and has learned how to socialize properly with dogs and humans. Chris is incredibly knowledgeable and straightforward, which we really appreciated. He didn’t just train our dog — he trained us too. He communicated clearly, corrected us when needed (which was super helpful), and always made sure we were part of the process. His approach is firm, honest, and extremely effective. Also even though Chris corrected our dog a lot during training, our dog LOVED him, which says a lot about the kind of trainer he is. We’re beyond grateful and couldn’t have asked for a better trainer. Highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for real, lasting change with their dog!

We cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional training provided by Chris and Magda from K9 Solutions Dog Training. From the initial consultation to the final stages of training, their expertise, dedication, and genuine care for both our puppy and us was evident. Chris possesses a remarkable understanding of canine behavior. He tailored the training program to perfectly suit our dogs individual needs and temperament, ensuring a positive and effective learning experience. What truly sets Chris & Magda apart is their commitment to providing comprehensive support and guidance. They took the time to educate my husband and I on how to effectively communicate with our dog, reinforce learned behaviors, and maintain a consistent training routine. Their patience and willingness to answer our numerous questions was invaluable. They are an incredible team that is caring. kind and passionate about all the dogs! The positive impact they both have on our life is immeasurable. As first time dog owners, this is exactly what we needed and more. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking dog training. Their expertise, compassion, and dedication are unparalleled. They have truly made a life-changing difference for both our dog and us. We also highly recommend group classes. This was huge for our dog.

I can’t recommend K9 Training Solution highly enough! Our golden doodle, Ivy went from barely being able to walk on a leash to confidently walking off-leash, thanks to Chris and his incredible team. If you feel like you’ve lost hope in training your dog, look no further. Chris’s expertise and the personalized techniques he teaches have transformed our experience as dog owners. We now feel at ease taking our furry friend out in public without the fear of barking outbursts. The skills and confidence we’ve gained through their training have made a world of difference. Thank you, K9 Training Solution, for giving us our peace of mind back!

We can’t recommend Chris enough! He trained our shihpoo puppy, Cookie, and we started working with him when she was just 15 weeks old. Many trainers told us she was too young to start, but Chris never hesitated and we’re so glad we trusted him. Cookie was a typical puppy: barking for attention, biting hands and clothes, and struggling with leash walking. Chris was beyond amazing. He didn’t just train Cookie, he taught my husband and me how to communicate with her properly. Thanks to Chris, Cookie now walks beautifully on leash, listens to commands, has great recall, and we give attention on our terms, not hers. Because of Chris’s training, Cookie is now service dog certified, which we never imagined possible when we first started. If you have a new puppy (or are feeling overwhelmed), do yourself a favor and call Chris. You won’t regret it!

We had an excellent experience working with Chris at K9 Solutions to train my husband’s 9-year-old Goldendoodle as a mobility and balance support service dog. From the beginning, Chris demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and patience. He developed a customized training plan that effectively built the skills needed for mobility and balance assistance. Throughout the process, Chris maintained clear communication, explaining each stage of training and providing practical techniques my husband could reinforce at home. His calm, positive approach created an environment where my husband and his dog thrived and gained confidence in his Doodle’s role. Thanks to Chris’s outstanding guidance, our Goldendoodle is now reliably performing mobility tasks and offering steady balance support in public settings. We highly recommend Chris to anyone seeking a skilled, compassionate, and professional service dog trainer.

I have a very energetic golden retriever puppy named Whiskey that needed training ASAP, and Chris was incredible. He was very accommodating with my schedule and location, and his priority was making sure Whiskey got the training he needed. He also trained my sister’s dog that lives in the same household, and we were able to build better relationships with our pups because of him. I highly recommend working with him if you're ready to put in the work needed to get your dog trained!

Chris at K9 Solutions expertly assessed our dog and helped us come up with the best training solution for our dog for him to be happy and successful in our home. They were fantastic and very helpful.

Chris is hands down the best trainer. I’m so grateful we were introduced to him. I am generally skeptical of most things and Chris wow-ed me with his kindness, education, knowledge, and PATIENCE. He trained us really well in order to train our sweet Patty Girl. He knows his stuff and is truly an animal and human whisperer. We have a very happy well developed 7 month old golden retriever and we wouldn’t have been here without Chris’s guidance and structure. Even more amazing was the bond that we deepened with Patty through training. We are so happy with the outcome and will recommend Chris to anyone who is seeking a superior trainer. Thank you Chris and K9 Solutions!

Chris is amazing!! I needed trained more than my dog and Chris was very patient and extremely kind to me and my dog! He boosted my confidence and trained my dog the highest level of obedience! Chris adapted the service training to best meet my needs with my limitations! If you want the best trainer go with Chris! We trained with 2 other trainers and it wasn't a good fit, Chris was exactly what I and my dog needed! His group classes are amazing the way he handles all different dogs with different needs is amazing! My dog LOVED Chris and going to the training classes! Thank you Chris!! 💛

I would 100% recommend K9 solutions dog training to everyone! My dog is a rescue and has a lot of ptsd and overtime became extremely dog reactive. When we started working with Chris my dog would react at another dog 200 yards away, pulling and lunging and barking. Chris was so patient with my dog, who has some special handicap quirks. My dog normally takes a while to warm up to strange men, but by the second lesson Saul was excited to see Chris. Now 6 weeks later and my dog has gone off leash in the BIG DOG park!!! Neighbors tell me how well behaved he is and dogs he once reacted to he is now learning to interact with and even play. I am still in shock that I can now walk past another dog and stop and talk to the other dogs owner with no problems. It’s the most rewarding thing I have ever done for my dog and Chris really teaches you everything you need to know and works with you. If you are willing to put the work in and follow his advice your dog will be so much happier and confident. Best trainers ever! (And Saul loves the treats)

I cannot recommend Chris enough! When I first brought my dog Calypso (German Shepherd/ Husky mix) in for training she was an excited reactive around other dogs and showed slight aggression towards strangers. She was just so terrified of anything new and strange. Trying to take her out for a walk was trying not to get dragged by an 82 pound dog when she saw a new ‘friend’ she wanted to play with(I’m only 5’2). She’s the biggest baby, super sweet and goofy but most people only saw her ‘high on crack’ side before Chris. But thanks to Chris, Calypso is now a service animal and off leash trained. He’s absolutely amazing! It definitely took time to learn how to communicate with her and 80% of it was me needing to learn. However, the progress we made has been incredible and I just can’t thank Chris enough. He not only helped Calypso but he brought me and her closer together. Through his guidance I learned how to communicate with her better and strengthen our bond. We’ve gone from managing her reactivity to working together as a team and that’s a gift I could never repay. She was already my rock beforehand but now she is my biggest supporter in my day to day life. I honestly don’t know what I would do without her help now. The progress we’ve made together has become such an integral part of my life and I’m forever grateful to Chris and his family. He was always there anytime I had questions or concerns. I’ve had other trainers before but Chris is unmatched. I highly recommend him for any type of training you need. From basics to service dog training he’s amazing and with you every step of the way. A very big thanks from both Calypso and me! We both absolutely love him, his training sessions and his group sessions! ❤️ 🐾

Magda and Chris have a special way with all breeds and ages of dogs. Our family is so grateful and impressed with the professional training program. They have given us the support and necessary tools to have a well behaved and loving dog. Their team has built a long lasting relationship with our dog and family. Thank you K9 solutions!

I can't recommend Chris at K9 Training Solutions enough! His training methods are incredibly gentle yet highly effective. From the first session, it was clear that he truly understands dogs and knows how to communicate with them in a way that’s both kind and respectful. We have a very energetic and sensitive cavapoo puppy and she has made amazing progress, and it’s all thanks to the patience and positive reinforcement Chris uses. He creates a calm and supportive environment that makes learning enjoyable for both the dog and owner.Hiring Chris was the best decision ever and now we can take our little girl everywhere without any worries. Thank you Chris!!

We found K-9 Solutions online and read the reviews. This convinced us to call Chris and set up a training regiment for our 9 month old Maltipoo, Olive. Our training objective was a mixture. We needed to stop the jumping and barking and we also needed her to learn socialization and being around other dogs. We began with group sessions on Saturdays to start and then moved to individual lessons twice a week. We have had great success. I just sent Chris a video yesterday of her walking off leash right next to me in public; never leaving my side and sitting whenever I stopped. This is all within a few weeks. Chris and his wife are very friendly people and we always felt comfortable with them training and assisting with Olive. This has been such a positive and rewarding experience for us and for Olive. I highly recommend K9 Solutions.

Excellent experience with the dog trainer! I am very satisfied with the trainer's work. From the first session, he demonstrated patience, professionalism, and a deep understanding of canine behavior. My dog ​​used to pull a lot on the leash and not respond to basic commands, but after a few sessions, changes began to appear. He uses positive techniques and takes the time to teach you as the owner, which was invaluable. In addition, he was always punctual, attentive, and answered all my questions. Now our walks are calmer, and my dog ​​is more balanced at home. I highly recommend him if you are looking for real and lasting changes in your pet's behavior.

Chris changed my life! I have a high energy Vizsla puppy and Chris helped us from when he was about 11 weeks old till now (7months old) and he is such a well trained, socialized dog now because of Chris. He has no reactivity around other dogs, no pulling on the leash, or misbehaving in public because of Chris. If you are looking for someone who is extremely knowledgeable and can help you be the best dog owner you can be, this is the guy!!

This review is worthy of way more than five stars! K9 Solutions Dog Training is an absolute savior. Their extreme knowledge, dedication, and expertise was the guiding light during this training. We watched our dog, Cooper, grow into a polite and well mannered young man. The training that K9 Solutions Dog Training provided allowed us to unlock the potential we never knew existing. We now have the strongest bond with our dog, and I can’t thank them enough! This is just the beginning of the endless possibilities we now have with Cooper.

Not only are Chris and Magda PHENOMENAL dog trainers, they are wonderful people. We have a 13 year old rescue who has leash aggression and some other isms after a rough start in life, and then we recently added a playful pup into our pack. The new addition was not welcomed by all, until we started working with Chris and Magda. Now as you can see in the photo, they even sleep together! Chris is now specifically working with our puppy to train him as a service dog, fingers crossed the little man is up to the task (the pup that is!). I have worked with trainers in the past, and what stands out about Chris and Magda are their knowledge and love of dogs, their one-on -one approach to training, their focus on training through positive reinforcement, and their dedication to our dogs happiness and success. They are personable, dedicated, very knowledgeable, and responsive to the needs of the dog, for example one of ours was recently sick, so we postponed training, and Chris called every day for updates, to offer suggestions, and support for the us! I have NO hesitation about recommending them, save them becoming too busy. The highest praise I can give is that both of our dogs love Chris and Magda and as puppy parents we couldn't be more proud.

Shout out to Chris! When we first met, Kane was not confident, he was not socialized at all, people and dog aggressive. And not to mention didn’t know how to walk on a leash. I was scared to have people come over to my house, let alone going out in public places. I can honestly say I have a completely different dog. He has learned to sit, stay, heel, down, and place. The individual and group sessions were exactly what Kane needed. We can now have guests over without fear of him being aggressive. We now bring him shopping with us and it is enjoyable. Can’t wait to bring him camping and take him on all our adventures. He has come such a long way. And I will need to continue on his training to ensure his success. Can’t thank Chris enough, without him and his guidance and techniques none of this would of been possible. Kane and Khloe 🐾🐾 highly recommend!

We’re so grateful to Chris for helping our dog, Fifi, successfully complete her PAT test! He was incredibly easy to work with, patient, and knowledgeable. Not only did he train Fifi, but he also guided us in becoming better trainers ourselves. His clear instructions, encouragement, and dedication made the whole process enjoyable and rewarding. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dog trainer!

Chris trained our 11 year old little Shihtzu mix. You can teach an old dog new tricks. She went from highly dog reactive to calm and steady. She went from frantic on flights to calmly sleeping through a 9 hour flight recently. Her life has changed for the better and so has ours. Highly recommend Chris.

Chris doesn’t just train dogs, he trains humans too. We reached out to K9 Solutions when our Weimaraner puppy was about 10 weeks old. After a consultation over the phone with Chris, who was very professional, he advised us not to enroll in puppy training (since the dog didn’t have any major behavioral issues), but to wait until he turned 4-5 months old and then start the obedience course. That’s exactly what we did, and we couldn’t be happier. It's such an important investment when you decide to get a large dog. I work with horses, so it was crucial for me that my dog is obedient both on and off leash for safety purposes. I now feel completely confident taking my dog literally anywhere. Chris gave me and my husband all the tools to continue training our dog, and now the sky is the limit. Although we finished the course, we will definitely be back for more advanced training. Chris makes it super fun and creates a personalized program for each dog. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about K9 Solutions Dog Training and our incredible trainer, Chris. When I first brought my dog to them, she was completely out of control—lunging at every animal and person we passed on walks, ignoring commands, and creating chaos in the house. Walking her was stressful and frustrating, and I honestly didn’t know where to turn. Chris From day one, he took the time to understand my dog’s behavior and tailored a training program that worked wonders. Fast forward to today—she now walks calmly next to me off-leash. That’s not an exaggeration. She listens to every command, no longer reacts to distractions, and is so much more relaxed and well-behaved at home. She no longer destroys things, and I finally feel like I have a real connection and communication with her. The group sessions were also a game changer. With 10–12 dogs in each class, I was amazed to see how Chris managed the environment to ensure every dog was learning how to exist calmly around others. By the end, dogs that would normally react were simply coexisting, focused, and responsive. It was impressive and inspiring. If you’re struggling with your dog’s behavior, do not wait—K9 Solutions and Chris will change your life and your dog’s life. I only wish I had found them sooner

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Chris! He is an amazing dog trainer and human being. I was blessed with the opportunity to have him train my dog and I. She spent her first 8 months In a concrete pen with no human contact. When we rescued her, she was so scared of everyone and everything. She didn’t know any basic commands and would drag me away from other people and dogs.(She even fractured my tibia when trying to get away from another dog). Working with Chris was wonderful, he taught me so much about how to handle her and why she behaved the way she did. He is always available anytime I have a question or concern. He is honestly the best trainer I have ever worked with. We did the 12 weeks of training and she is now the happy confident, social girl I knew she could be. Today she graduated from obedience training and she passed her service dog access. I highly recommend Chris for any and all of your dog training needs. We had the most past positive. Experience and I am truly great for all he has done for us.

I cannot recommend Chris enough. My sister and I brought a very skittish dog in for training, and Chris not only helped Alfie, but taught us how to best treat our dog during and away from training. Chris' knowledge of dog training and ability to teach it to his clients is impressive and immensely beneficial. Our dog has become so much more confident, and so have we in our abilities to continue to bring the best out of him.

Chris is phenomenal! I can’t say enough good things. He was willing to answer any of our questions, no matter what topic, in and outside of the training sessions. He was very observant and got to know our and our dog’s personalities so that he could customize the training to best fit our lifestyle. He had a large variety of obedience programs from 1:1 programs, in home and in public locations, to group classes so that our dog, Echo, would have several different training situations. He is patient, thoughtful, fun and sets you up for success. With Chris we received the Puppy Star, CGC, CGCA and Service dog designations. Echo loves Chris so much that his tail doesn’t stop wagging when he sees him - and that is the most important test of all.

I need to start by saying that if I could give 10 stars, I would!! There is no doubt that Chris was a dog in his former life. From their first meeting, there was an instant sense of calm and understanding and a mutual respect that I had not seen before from my newly rescued, very stubborn 3 month old bully mix. Its, literally, like he was speaking her language. She respected him and allowed him to lead her. Chris is LEGIT, a miracle worker. It was definitely me that needed the most training and he was able to do that too. He explains things so that they make sense so that WE are better!! Its only then that our dogs can also be better. I cant thank you enough, Chris!! for MY training and for Ellie's too!! 6 months later, I'M still a work in progress but WE'RE better because of you!!

My son and I are very thankful to Christopher. He helped us with our German Shepherd She-Ra who was very reactive. Car rides and walks at the park were almost impossible. She-Ra would lunge and bark constantly at people and cars (honestly just about anything) it was difficult. Thankfully we found Christopher who changed all of that. With his expertise we are now able to enjoy car rides and walks at the park. She-Ra even went to the mall and other places where there is a lot of people and she did good. I never thought we would be able to take her anywhere. Christopher not only trained She-Ra but also trained my son and I. We are all so happy, you could really see the difference in She-Ra. It was a great journey with our teacher☺️ Mr. Christopher. I couldn’t thank him enough for everything he showed us. I highly recommend Christopher! Thank you so much Chris!

I started with Chris on a recommendation from a friend, as I wanted to get a better recall on my 10 month old Rottweiler, Piper. Her basic commands were all fairly good but when she was at a distance, it was hit or miss. I wanted some e-collar instruction so I could learn to use it properly. I made the right decision. In a short time, Chris had Piper realizing the right response to "Piper, come!". It was very quick. I would not have had this much success had I tried it on my own! Furthermore, since that went so well, we went a little further and went to various busy locations (malls, downtown WPB, the airport etc) and with just small tweaks have her walking/behaving like a professional service dog. It's amazing! Chris is very professional and wants answers from them but not "militant", which goes a long way since essentially Piper is a farm/family dog. He's helped us to keep making her an all around great dog! Chris also has a great sense of humour, which made the experience easier and made me more relaxed and better able to digest what he was teaching me! This was a super experience. I am not local but definately will work with Chris further when here next winter to expand on her training! Thanks Chris!!

I adopted a rescue that didn't come when called, was fence fighting with the neighbors dogs and was difficult to walk. In 12 sessions with Chris I now have a well behaved dog. His program and results have been life changing for me and my dog He is not only professional in his approach to training but also extremely knowledgeable about all breeds and behaviors

I would 100% recommend putting your puppies training in Chris’s and Magda’s hands. Had an amazing experience with them. Helped turned my anxious SHAR PEI puppy who would not step foot into a publix, to a pup who can take commands anywhere we go. At the end of the training sessions I can confidently say that I came out with a completely different puppy, we worked behavioral issues that developed throughout the weeks, when the puppy was getting to confident, so I can definitely say that Chris and Magda do pay attention to detail and do offer THE BEST personalized training program.

I can’t recommend Chris enough! My dog Woody was extremely nervous and afraid of everything—walks, new people, even sudden, loud noises at home. It broke my heart to see him so anxious, and I wasn’t sure if he’d ever feel comfortable in the world. Enter Chris! From the very first session, Chris was patient, understanding, and clearly experienced with nervous dogs. He took the time to get to know Woody and worked at a pace that made Woody feel safe. Chris used positive reinforcement and simple corrections, always explaining his methods so I could continue the training at home. The results have been amazing. Woody is now so much more confident—he actually enjoys going on walks and exploring the neighborhood! He listens to commands, is more obedient, and seems genuinely happier and more relaxed. I’m so grateful for Chris’s expertise and kindness. If you have a nervous or anxious dog, Chris is the trainer you need! Thank you, Chris, for helping Woody become the brave, happy pup he was meant to be.

Training with Chris at K9 Solutions was a pleasure. We completed a 6 week program with our 9 month lab Malcolm and the progress we made exceeded my expectations. We had some behavioral challenges and Chris addressed each issue with clear instructions . He sees the best in every dog and knows how to channel that . He gave us all the tools we needed to be able to enjoy our puppy and I’m forever grateful for that .

Chris has completely transformed my Rottweiler, Hunter. He used to show aggressive behavior that made everyday life tough, but now he’s much calmer, confident, obedient, and much easier to handle. Chris was patient, professional, and went above and beyond with understanding Hunter’s needs. Highly recommend, can’t say enough positive things about our experience!

Chris was absolutely amazing. He took a dog that was afraid of everything and turned him into the best version of himself. We had an impossible mission turn a scared little yorkie mix into an obedient service dog in 6 weeks. Mind you, this time frame was only because I live in Tampa and drove to Palm Beach every week just because of Chris! It was a sacrifice training every week after work (working full time) and after classes (2 classes a well) and driving to Palm beach 225 miles, but everything was worth it! Uruca turned out amazing and continues to do amazing even after the training is over! I cannot recommend Chris enough!!

Cannot say enough good things about Chris and K9 Solutions Dog Training, but I’ll try to narrow it down. From the very first session Chris showed us the potential in our dog, Panga. The sessions were always fun and interactive but no corners were cut. If we needed to meet at a specific location to work on a specific skill, we did it. Because of that, I’d say he really goes out of his way for success. In 6 weeks our puppy went from blissfully unaware and clueless (in a cute, puppy way) to completely aware of her surroundings, de-sensitized to stimulating environments and most importantly obedient. She listens, she knows who her owner is, and the most majestic bird in the sky couldn’t take her attention away from me when I command it. I feel more bonded with Panga than ever, we trust each other. I firmly believe everyone should make the effort to bond with their dog this way. It makes for a fulfilling life with her. Thank you Chris and K9 Solutions Dog Training!!!!!!

I highly recommend Chris's services for young or older pups. He is extremely professional and an overall amazing dog trainer. He gave us the tools and confidence in 12 sessions to help our 11 year old highly reactive dog (to dogs, cats, birds, people, children, noises, etc.) become a well behaved world traveler. It's really an amazing outcome.

Chris from K9 Solutions dog Training was a life saver! He was a pleasure to work with and he got my husband and I clear on how to work with our dog, Merlin. Merlin was very spoiled and had fear issues around new people. With Chris's help, Merlin has become a calmer, happier and more obedient dog. I can open my front door without him running out the door and nipping at visitors. I can walk him without him barking and jumping on people. Merlin listens to us and is much ore confident. None of this would have been possible without the loving and helpful support and guidance of Chris. He has always been available between sessions through text and phone. He cares a lot about his clients and checks in. He gave us tools that have changed our lives and our relationship with our dog. I recommend him 100% and if you have the opportunity to work with him, you are very fortunate and I would jump at the chance.

Chris and K9 Solutions Dog Training is the real deal. Before you embark on your Dog Training journey, please understand that “Dog” training is best executed through Owner Training, and therefore this is not a service that is provided at the leisure and convenience of the customer. Rather, this is a commitment for you, your family, and your dog to engage with and experience together, which will produce confidence, satisfaction and results commensurate with the efforts put into it. We will continue training with Chris into the foreseeable future!

What a great experience! We had a rambunctious 3 yr old American Bulldog/Dogo Argentino mix who jumped on people, had impulse issues, dog aggression, and more--with any dog that's a lot to deal with but it's so much more chaotic when your pup is 100+ lbs. We tried big box store training but it was too cookie cutter. Atlas needed one on one help to get in line. Chris was so fantastic! He was patient and kind and helpful. He focuses on the things he thinks you need to work on and the things you want to work on. He'll teach YOU as much if not more than he teaches your dog. Pay attention, put in the work, and he will get you to where you want to be with your pup. We now have a well-behaved dog we can take out in public (before it was just stress piled on stress), who obeys commands (even when he doesn't want to!), and is a joy to show off (rather than being embarrassed by his idiot behavior). I can even get him to stay out of the kitchen when I'm cooking! I can't thank Chris and Magda enough for their help with Atlas. Do yourself a favor and get the training for you and your dog--you deserve to live in harmony with your pup!

We are very grateful for the training Chris provided to our dog. It was the best return on investment. Our dog now listens, no longer begs for food, and can walk off leash. It was an amazing transformation after 12 weeks of training. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing experience working with Chris. He helped us with obedience training as well as some challenging behaviors, including dog reactivity and fence fighting. From the very first session, it was clear that Chris truly understands dogs. He took the time to get to know Riley — our 2.5-year-old Boxer — and tailored the entire training plan specifically to her needs. Chris is incredibly informative, patient, and clear with his instructions. He not only worked hands-on with Riley, but also made sure we understood why certain behaviors were happening and how to continue reinforcing the training at home. We saw real improvements, and Riley responded so well to Chris’s guidance. She’s a different dog now! If you’re looking for someone who is skilled, compassionate, and committed to helping both dogs and their owners succeed, Chris is the trainer you want. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend K9 Solutions Dog Training!

Chris is completely amazing! We got a recommendation from a friend and believe me this guy will train any dog 100% guaranteed. We rescued a dog that had lived his whole life in a shelter and/or foster care. Sweet dog, but extremely prey driven and we have a very busy farm with other animals and dogs that he needs to respect and we also we have little kid visitors that he can’t knock over or resource guard food/toys. He gave me an honest evaluation before we committed to anything and my dog is even better trained than I expected. We did end up having to train on an e collar and prong but it worked and he listens! I even take him on outings to tractor supply and neighborhood walks. We did a lot of training at the mall too and this dog “heels” and walks by my side off leash even and “leaves it” even when tempted with human treats. We will continue to work with him now that we are done with training but I could not have done this without his help and expertise. Without training I could have had a dangerous dog instead of a sweet trained dog. Training can be expensive but believe me in the long run it is worth it. (I had a previous dog that was somewhat of a trouble maker and it cost me thousands in vet bills when she attacked another dog and then I had to get training on top of that so she could continue living with us!)

Chris with K9 solutions is an absolute dog whisperer! Our very reactive dog, Cooper, transformed into a much more relaxed and confident dog by the end of our 12 sessions. Chris was so focused on Cooper’s needs every step of the way. He checks in with phone calls in between sessions each week and emails thorough, at-home assignments to keep up with in between appointments. This training was worth every penny and we highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to improve their dog’s quality of life.

We saw outstanding results with Chris and Magda at k9 solutions! They are great people and it is always a pleasure working with them during sessions. They really do care about your dogs and want to see success and happiness for them. My boyfriend and I have worked with numerous dog trainers for our 3 pups and nothing has ever worked. We had issues with barking, leash pulling, aggression, car rides, knocking on the door… basically everything! But Chris and Magda helped us learn how to communicate with and teach our dogs in a way that they would understand and that would bring results. In just a few sessions, we saw results that were completely measurable and obvious. I was honesty astonished at how quickly dogs can learn new behaviors when taught the right way. It’s been an awesome experience to see the changes and it’s brought a better quality of life for all of us. Can’t say thank you enough to them.

Amazing and worth every penny x10!!! We hired Chris and Magda to work with Luna (3 years old) who was having increasing aggressive behavior towards smaller dogs that was triggered by a dog that attacked Luna on the dog beach last Spring 2022. Chris and Magda not only teach their clients' dog the acceptable behavior around other dogs but they also teach the owners how to build and strengthen the obedience and correct behavior with their dog. 6 weeks ago Luna was not fully listening to me, she had poor recall and she was trying to be dominate towards smaller dogs and was scared of bigger dogs. She now comes on command, checks in with me on our walks, and can socialize with all sized dogs with no issues. We now have the tools to continue to refine our training that we learned during our sessions. With the training and tools Chris and Magda have given Luna and I, we will now be able to go back to the dog beach to run off leash, go to public places and not cause inconveniences to others and be able to have the right recall if there was ever an issue, she comes backs and is safe. No matter what age your dog is and if they need their behavior corrected, from aggression, to recall, to obedience, and much more, I would reach out to Chris and Magda because they will be able to teach both you and your dog the correct behavior so you can enjoy stress free adventures together.

Chris with K9 Solutions is SUPER AMAZING. I have had many dog trainers throughout the years and I feel that Chris has been THE MOST EFFECTIVE, super knowledgable and very professional dog trainer. I would recommend anyone and everyone who needs a dog trainer to reach out to Chris.chris is EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!
