South Florida’s Award-Winning Dog Training & Luxury Boarding

We love Chris and and his partner, Magda! Fantastic, effective and caring trainers. We are amazed on how well Zoey responded and how much we learned. Chris, Zoey thanks you and appreciates everything you taught her and her ESH ;-)

Chris is an absolutely amazing dog trainer, best of the best! We first contacted Chris because our dog was extremely reactive to other dogs on a leash...so much so that he was very difficult to control, my wife could barely control him and my kids simply couldn't walk him as much as they wanted to. We met with Chris and were extremely impressed by his knowledge and demeanor with both our dog and us. Throughout the training he thoroughly explained his technique including the reasoning behind it...and he patiently teaches both you and your dog. AND IT WORKS! We signed up for 12 sessions and within the first 2 weeks, our dog was a million times better...and now that we finished the program, we have an EXTREMELY well trained dog that now listens and behaves. It's done so much for us that my wife and young kids can now walk him and we can now take him places without worry! If your dog is out of control then this training will change both your dog's life as well as yours. I cannot recommend Chris highly enough....he is AMAZING!

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!! 💛

We are owners of the sweetest, kindest and loving 13 year old yorkie poodle. Tiki is very affectionate with people especially those needing nurturing from a soft and cuddly pooch. However, put Tiki in the presence of another dog, cat, squirrel, bird or other harmless creature and our old puppy becomes a vicious, aggressive, wolf-like attack dog. Unfortunately, this limited our excursions to the market, coffee shops, and restaurants. Even everyday strolls with our dog became a strategy of avoidance with other animals. Tiki typically barked at ear-shattering decibel levels upon an encounter with another dog or other animal. We first observed Chris from K-9 Solutions during one of his training sessions on the streets of downtown West Palm Beach. Chris exuded confidence and command of his student, ie. the dog owner/ handler. In fact, we quickly learned that despite our dog’s obvious flaws, we were the ones that were in desperate need of training. Chris is an expert not only in the behavior of dogs but particularly the manner people handle their dogs. We questioned whether an old dog could learn new tricks. For 13 years, Tiki was conditioned to bark incessantly around other canines. Even Chris appeared to limit how much Tiki could learn at her age. Tiki seemed like an intriguing challenge to Chris. But he quickly demonstrated that even his “oldest” trainee ever had potential. Tiki went through a six week program and we are so thrilled to report that she no longer barks at other dogs. She also learned to focus on our commands and walk in step at our pace.. We are amazed that even with aggressive dogs, or lax dog handlers, Tiki stays calm, cool and collected. Chris is an amazing trainer and we give our strongest recommendation for his services. Our dog is safer, healthier and will hopefully live a longer life as a result of Chris’ training. Tiki is very thankful that we found Chris to teach us how to properly handle our dog.

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.

Working with Chris was such a wonderful experience! He is the dog whisperer and taught Bear so much. We are thankful to have learned all the very important basics to keep Bear safe and how to behave. Thank you Chris!!

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 trained our 1 year old Shepard/belgian malinois mix. We rescued him from the side of southern boulevard and didn’t know any of his history. Training was a must being that we had a 6 month old baby at home. Chris evaluated our situation and suggested we do a full 12 training sessions. We quickly learned our rescues quirks and triggers. His method to figuring the dogs out is truly amazing! He trains the humans too- and taught us so much. We went from having a 1 year old dog flipping over the stroller when bolting for a squirrel, to being able to walk him off leash next to us and stay in a heel position. He no longer jumps on the door when he hears someone coming towards the house, he sits on his bed and waits until he is told his release command. Truly is incredible. Changing environments each sessions and taking on any and ALL scenarios that may be encountered. Thank you so much Chris for making our Dale-dog even more apart of our family.

Chris is an incredible dog trainer! He worked with my dog, Maya, and the results were amazing. She made tremendous progress under his guidance, and I was so impressed with his knowledge, patience, and positive training approach. Chris truly understands dogs and tailors his methods to their individual needs. Maya responded so well to his techniques, and I can see a real difference in her behavior. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate trainer!

So glad I reached out to K9 Solutions! Chris was easy to work with and was extremely knowledgeable. My miniature schnauzer Nori (who basically scream-barked at anything unfamiliar that moved) just completed her training and passed her public access test. Training together has strengthened Nori's trust in me and made me a more confident dog parent. I have Chris to thank for that. I would definitely recommend K9 Solutions Dog Training!

The absolute best dog trainer hands (or paws) down ! Chris is one of the kindest and most talented people and worked wonders with our spirited mini Aussiedoodle. Truly gifted trainer who truly cares and is always available when needed. Thank you, Chris! You’re amazing!

We are so grateful to have found K9 Solutions Dog Training through a neighbor’s recommendation. Over 12 sessions, Chris helped teach us and our dog Chloe better tools for handling her dominating personality and reactivity. We’ve had friends, family, and even neighbors tell us what a difference they see in our dog. I believe that not only have things gotten easier in and out of the home with Chloe, but our relationships with her have improved too. I would recommend Chris and Magda to anyone looking for dog training!

Chris was amazing with our three dogs. He was patient, firm, and super effective with the dogs and with us humans. He is a great trainer and a great person! Thank you Chris!!!

Chris has been the most patient and amazing trainer. We enrolled our now 6 month old puppy and I can confidently say that Chris works miracles. Look no other place but here to train your furry family member!!

K9 solutions is amazing!! In just 6 weeks, my dog no longer pulls on the leash when walking, nor does she bark at kids and rolling objects. Not to mention, k9 solutions was also able to train my doggo to pass the public access exam. Money well spent! I will be going back to them for future training.

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.

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, from K9 Solutions Dog Training, is a superstar! George, our 6 year old Standard Poodle, suddenly an only dog, was becoming reactive and not certain how best to navigate the world without his brother. Chris has a wealth of knowledge and understanding and is able to communicate with dog AND owner to find the comfort level that works for both. George now knows how to interact with other dogs and strangers and is confident in the world outside our home. Chris arranged classes and home visits that proved successful. I must admit that the dog was easy.....the owner needed the most instruction!! We both highly recommend Chris and K-9 Solutions.

K9 Solutions Dog Training has been a game-changer for my puppy! The training programs offered are tailored to the specific needs of each dog, and the results are truly impressive. The owner, Chris is knowledgeable and friendly which made the entire experience pleasant and effective. I highly recommend K9 Solutions Dog Training to anyone looking to bring out the best in their four-legged friend!"

Chris is amazing! I highly recommend him for your dog training needs. He has taught me so much about my Labrador and what training methods work best for her (and her human).

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.

Excellent Training! Professional and honest! Highly recommend K9 Solutions for your dog training both group and private instruction.

My dog Tempi and I started with leash sensitivity that started with two separate dogs on two separate occasions, attacking Tempi while I walked her on leash. I reached out to Chris and he quickly called me back and set up an evaluation. He has a calm and confident way with the dogs which sets them up for success right off the bat. Tempi and I have gone from nervous and afraid around other dogs, to calm and happy. Tempi has even begun to enjoy being around other dogs again. Thank you Chris and Magda, your work is invaluable and I will refer you to anyone at ANYTIME for ANY challenges they may be having with their pup! It’s truly remarkable!

I cannot express enough how amazing Chris and Magda are and how much they helped my pup and me. Toto was going through behavioral issues and nothing seemed to really help until we met Chris and Magda. They identified the behaviors that needed to be worked on and trained both of us (yes, owners also need to be trained) so we could work on these issues in order to improve our quality of life (yes, for both of us!) As the training went on you could see Toto flourishing into a new dog and I am not the only one seeing that. Lots of people who know her said it when they saw her after training started. One of the points that really impressed me is that they will adapt the training to the dog’s individual situation, taking into consideration their traits and limitations and focus not only on their well being and quality of life but also working with positive reinforcement. This was very important to me because Toto is a smart dog and is very imaginative in finding ways to bend rules and react to changes but this was no match for Chris and Magda’s expertise. Toto has improved so much since training started and I am extremely thankful to both Chris and Magda for helping rescue our relationship. We will continue to work on the training and enjoy our renewed bond. I recommend K9 Solutions to everyone. Heartfelt thanks to Chris and Magda from both of us!!

Chris and Magda made my experience training my reactive GSD incredible. My dog went from being absolutely petrified of all other dogs, to being able to play with them in just 12 sessions.

I did a LOT of research before deciding on a dog training program for my rambunctious, high energy 3 month old american eskimo puppy. She was showing sgin of aggressive behavior very early on. I knew she needed a strong program to correct her and help her socialize with other dogs and people. After researching many dog training programs, I decided on K9 Solutions Dog Training. I loved that Chris and Magda did a home visit to evaluate Lily and see what areas we could immediately improve, independent of the program structure. There were a total of 13 one hour lessons and they were worth every penny!! Thanks to the training and all the guidance I received from them, we have a happy routine in place! I realized that not only your dog receives training but you as the owner also need to learn how to interact with your puppy; for their safety as well as yours. Thank you so much for all your help Magda and Chris!! I will definitely bring Lily back for more advanced lessons once she is older :)

My wife & I couldn’t be happier with our decision we made to use K9 Solutions Dog Training for our French Bulldog! After just our 1st session we felt very comfortable & knew right away we made a great choice! I have personally used other trainers in the past but none of them compared to Chris & Magda’s training knowledge, patience & professionalism they expressed throughout our dogs training. Thank you Chris & Magda you both were amazing! Mike & Emily Small

I’ve been working with Chris since getting my 5 month old Great Dane , Oliver last May. The pup was not well socialized and was overly reactive to strangers, leash walking and other dogs. Chris and his wife Magda have worked diligently and I am so pleased with how far Oliver has come. I now walk him daily and he looks forward to it t! He’s doing better with meeting new dogs without barking and lounging at them. I was able to walk him in a very large mall right before Christmas and he was a really good boy! I am very pleased with his progress. Chris and Magda really care about Oliver and want to see him and I succeed in our training lessons. I am very pleased with how far Oliver has come! Thanks so much Chris and Magda !👍👍😊

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.
