Chris and Sasha are amazing and very friendly. I am a first time dog owner and needed some guidance training my newly adopted puppy. I was referred to the 4 week board and train program through a family member. My pup came back a lot more well behaved/obedient and with so much more confidence. Chris not only taught my pup but me as well! I learned so much about the importance of a well trained dog and how to train my own to fit my lifestyle. During the 4 weeks, I was in constant communication with Sasha; she was super kind and sweet and updated me on how my puppy was doing. I'm extremely grateful for Chris and Sasha and would highly recommend their board and train program!
We first looked into Chris and his team at Klutch K9 a month after rescuing our small dog. We noticed Moose was displaying obedience and behavioral problems that needed to be addressed before they escalated. We reached out to Chris and the Klutch K9 team and Sasha responded quickly. We enrolled our dog in the board and train program and were happy with the results. We (Moose included) can't thank Chris and his team enough for all the help. Chris is patient, calm and realistic with expectations. He is knowledgeable and has the experience when dealing with all sorts of dogs. He is always supportive and encouraging us to succeed. Sasha has always been organized and efficient when arranging appointments. I'm sure there are plenty of dog trainers out there, but I would recommend Chris and his team hands down.
Chris and Sasha are wonderful and I wish I could give them ten stars. I had a seven month old German Shepherd that wouldn't stop destroying everything in sight. Her puppy biting had gone on too long and was becoming more aggressive. I was totally overwhelmed by her behavior. I found Klutch K9 on Yelp and called because of the positive reviews. First, Chris came by to do an evaluation of Ayla and he took into account my goals, as well as the home setting. He let me know about my options and I decided put her in their six week board and train program. No pressure, no hard sell whatsoever. The board and train was the best decision I could have ever made. My dog came back a different dog and Chris has taught me how to be a different and better dog owner. She's crated and has a highly structured routine now. Chris and his wife Sasha have been completely available for my questions since Ayla's been back, and no question is too small or insignificant to them. I highly recommend Klutch K9!
Klutch K9 came to my rescue when I needed help with my dog Boede. Chris and Sasha are amazing! They are a power-duo that took my stubborn 3 year old husky Boede in for the board and train program and returned a more stable and well mannered pup! Their open line of communication with daily updates, videos on Boede's progress, pro-training tidbits and one-on-one personal training sessions are the tip of the iceberg on their overall professionalism and awesomeness! My only regret is I didn't reach out to them sooner! I 100% recommend Klutch K9 to anyone who has issues with their dogs, would like to get ahead of training with their puppies or would like to better educate themselves on dog training techniques.
I don't even know where to start because my dog has made so much progress with Chris! We started with group trainings and from the first session we noticed such a HUGE difference in my dogs behavior. My dog was reactive towards people and dogs. Chris not only provided us with great advice and techniques to help decrease the reactivity but he also provided us with the right tools. We also did 1 private lesson and again he shared so many techniques on how to improve my dogs food drive! Now, my dogs reactivity has decreased A LOT and she's also taking kibbles and treats on our walks which she did not do before training with Chris! We're still doing group trainings and can't wait to continue seeing my dogs progress. Both Chris and Sasha are super professional and respond in timely manner. I highly recommend Klutch K9!
