I recently discovered The Dog Rink and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Chantelle was incredibly kind, patient, and encouraging—her passion for what she does is obvious and it truly shows in how she works with both dogs and their humans. My dog, Molly, absolutely loved the agility class. The program was well-structured, thoughtfully challenging, and perfectly paced so she could build confidence and rise to each new task. Chantelle has an impressive understanding of how dogs learn and how to guide them effectively, which made the whole experience enjoyable and rewarding. We had such a positive time that we went back again—and plan to continue with other classes. The facility itself is easy to get to, extremely clean, and very well maintained. Highly recommend The Dog Rink to anyone looking for quality training, a supportive environment, and a trainer who genuinely cares.

Chris gives me hope I can get help with my daily needs. Especially when I am able to train my dog to become my service dog. He’s very friendly great with kids if you have any. He seems to know a lot about dogs and I mean a lot. He makes you feel included in the training explains it very well and clear. I am already seeing a lot of improvements thanks to DOG RINK especially Chris. Amazing dog trainer very passionate about dogs. I look forward to working with DOG RINK. Thank you for helping me and my best friend communicate better to each other I now have an idea on what my dog wants or needs and he communicates to me as well.. you never get the dog you want. But you always get the dog you need..

I got a puppy for the first time in a long time and this place is amazing. The dog owners learn so much about dog behaviour and that makes training easier. There is no pressure and lots of encouragement. The lessons are fantastic and the play time is awesome. It’s a great place to help socialize your dog.

Chris has been and continues to be an incredible, kind and a very humble individual who has helped our family and our almost 1 year old puppy Crosby immensely. Crosby is currently in his third level (the dogtorate program) of training at The Dog Rink with Chris. We have noticed an incredible improvement in Crosby's behavior and skills. Chris's level of communication and knowledge is outstanding and has really helped increase our confidence with training and raising a puppy. We are beyond grateful for all of Chris's support and continuous guidance. We would highly recommend Chris to anyone who is looking for a professional and talented dog trainer. The dog rink is an absolutely amazing facility!!

We just graduated from Chris's Canine College program, and I cannot recommend it enough. Chris's patient and reassuring guidance was the missing link in our communication with our dog. Chris is a wonderful teacher--his training methods are clear, concise and thorough, which is a testament to his years of experience. What impressed us just as much as his prowess as a trainer was that his business is built on the values of compassion and empathy for both the dogs and dog parents. He has been extremely generous with his time and knowledge, and as first-time dog parents we are so grateful. Thank you Chris, for helping us build the intangible but invaluable asset of CONFIDENCE with our dog. Can't finish the review without mentioning Chantelle, who has also been wonderful source of knowledge and affirmation. Looking forward to participating in the many exciting courses she offers at the Dog Rink!
