We have 2 American Bullies. 1 Male 140lbs and 1 female 75lbs. We sought Chris out to see if he could sort out some aggression issues with the bigger male Bully. Right off the bat , we found Chris to be very knowledgeable with dog behavioral issues. Chris patiently worked with both dogs and we quickly saw how the bigger dog responded to Chris's training. We now have a very confident but well behaved Bully around people and surroundings that in the past would trigger aggression. We fully recommend Chris at Breakthrough Dog Training.

We started training our Cane Corso, Cain, with Chris when he was about 4–5 months old. At the time, Cain was very scared and reactive, which made it incredibly stressful to take him anywhere. From the initial evaluation, Chris was professional and set very clear expectations for what we could achieve. What stood out most was Chris’s patience—not just with Cain, but with me as an owner. He was very understanding when I had to reschedule sessions and always took the time to articulate exactly how and why certain techniques worked. He addressed every concern I had with total confidence. I wanted an obedient dog, and that is exactly what I got. More importantly, I gained the confidence to take Cain out in public without the fear of him hurting someone. We have two Corsos, and we’re already planning to have Chris help my wife with our female, Mona, very soon. His training is worth it, no questions asked.

We highly recommend Chris from breakthrough, he was very helpful and very flexible with our schedule. The one on one training was very effective. And in our own environment. Very professional and patient with our dog and us as owners not knowing exactly what to do. If I had any questions I sent a text and got a rapid response.

We had a great experience working with Chris and Breakthrough. He trained our black Lab puppy, and the progress has been incredible—our pup has come a long way in a relatively short amount of time. Chris is knowledgeable, patient, and clearly understands both dogs and owners. One thing that really stood out was the convenience. Chris came to us for training, which made a huge difference with our schedule and allowed the training to happen in a real-life environment. He also went above and beyond by including sessions with our older Doberman, which was incredibly helpful and much appreciated. If you’re looking for a trainer who is professional, flexible, and genuinely invested in your dogs’ success, I highly recommend Chris. We couldn’t be happier with the results.

We had a great experience with Chris at Breakthrough Dog Training. He trained all five of our dogs together—the mother Zarah (2 years old) and four 7-month-old puppies—which is not easy to do. Zarah is a full-blood, high-drive working dog, and Chris knew exactly how to channel her energy and leadership. Puppy Stella went from not listening well to responding much better to commands. Lucky stopped pulling and now walks calmly and well-behaved with my dad on their daily walks. Dante and Bella are now able to walk together confidently in public. Chris is patient, knowledgeable, and really understands dog behavior, especially in multi-dog households. We saw real, practical results and highly recommend Breakthrough Dog Training.

Man we are a few lessons into our training with my poodle and she’s gotten so much better with the help of her trainer Mike. With work and consistency I have now doubt that by the end of week 12 she will be amazing! They work with our schedules great and every session there’s something new and great results almost immediately. Trust the team and your furry friend will grow alongside you aswell!
