The owner threatens people online! Very very scary person! There are public photos of it for proof!! I wouldn't trust someone like that with my pet rock let alone a beloved pet!!

Hands down the best dog trainer around. He was wonderful with my very demanding puppy and in just one lesson had him responding to numerous commands! He was patient and calm working with my dog and my pup LOVED him. We will definitely be scheduling more training sessions with him in the future! Thank you Chris! More...

It's only been one lesson and I would already highly recommend. Chris explains what he is doing and why. I am learning just as much as Mack. Positive reward for positive behavior. Redirecting negative behavior to a positive solution. Mack was very receptive and EXHAUSTED More...

Best dog trainer i have worked with. Helped my Shepard with leash reactivity. Dog would jump up bite leash or your hand to get free. Chris recommended a mussel while we walk and in public. Has been a blessing dog no longer tries this behavior but still walk him with mussel for the dogs safety. I would recommend Chris to anyone looking for a trainer. Keep up the great work Chris.

Don’t wait to contact Chris for training options! He’s extremely helpful, friendly and above all cares about your dog’s wellbeing! He has won over my anxious adopted pup and me! I worked with a few trainers before finding Maynard Dog Training and I would recommend Chris above all others! Positive reinforcement training works and lasts a lifetime, it’s the best investment you can make for yourself and your pup! More...

Chris is the absolute best. I’ve worked with a couple different dog trainers before meeting Chris and he is by far the most caring, competent trainer around. I messaged him asking for help and he came out that same day to evaluate and offer recommendations. He’s been helping with my Shepherd mix puppy and my six-year-old Shepherd mix. He has a wealth of knowledge and I learned more in one session with him than I learned from anyone or anything else. Looking forward to many more sessions. I couldn’t recommend Chris highly enough!

Great veteran owned business. Seeing the progress from start to the end of a two hour training session with a 4 month old pupper was mind blowing. Chris is kind and patient. I highly recommend that you support this local veteran owned business. 5 's! More...

I have 2 mini schnauzers (3 and 4 y.o.) and my daughter has a 10 week old red merle mini Australian shepherd (who will one day be her service dog) Yesterday was Christopher's first time meeting this rambunctious yet adorable crew. I am shocked at what the pooches, as well as I, learned from one session! Chris's methods are not only super effective, but they're actually fun so it doesn't FEEL so much like "work". Can't wait to see how we all grow with more training. Thanks, Chris! More...

Chris has been working with us and our dog Jasper since about October. Jasper has been becoming quite aggressive with guests especially males and tends to be very anxious. Since October, Jasper has changed so much and for the better. He’s no longer aggressive towards others and is so much more relaxed and happy. We are continuing appointments with Chris to train Jasper more on commands etc. Chris is professional, knowledgeable and truly cares about animals. So thankful for him! More...

they are very professional, and very effective. I noticed marked difference in my pups behavior after just the first session and 15 minutes a day of the recommended repetitive exercises

Chris is very personable, has an extremely high level of integrity, great sense of community and most of all he loves dogs! He is a a master at his craft and apparently you can teach old dogs new tricks. I would highly recommend his services for any questionable pet behavior you would like to work on. More...

There are only a few people on the planet that I would trust with my dog, & Chris at Maynard Dog Training is one of them. Chris took the time to listen to what our issues were & suggested a solid plan to correct the behaviors . Importantly, our dog Max who generally does not like men, loved Chris. He followed up a few weeks later to check in & we were happy to report that all was going according to his plan. Thanks, Chris! More...

Highly recommend Chris! He is great and very professional. Chris helped us with an odd request of judging the demeanor/temperament of our German shepherd puppy. Safety is our #1 concern and with owning a shepherd you can never be to careful. Chris evaluated us and Merlin in a normal day to day scene. While when approaching the house he may seem extremely protective and viscous he can attest that while his bark will put anyone on their toes, he is all bark and No bite! Or as Chris called him our gentle giant. Even when rough housing with Merlin he may show his teeth but never bites down. With a horror story of getting him way to early weeks wise from a breeder we are lucky to have such a great dog and having a trainer to back up that we have been doing everything correctly is a great piece of mind. I would highly recommend Chris to any and all dog owners! More...
