Graham completed the Puppy Primer and 21 Days Board and Train Program. During the program Chris kept us updated on Grahams progress by text, pictures, and videos. Chris/Asheville Dog Academy provided Graham and us the tools to be successful in any environment. We now enjoy outing with our dog without having to worry about his behavior. We recommend Chris and Asheville Dog Academy to everyone.

Chris has been training our French Brittany puppy Ranger for the last 6 weeks. It is amazing how much Ranger has learned, not to mention how much my wife Debby and I have! Chris is a Great trainer and communicator. We have continued puppy classes for a 3rd three week session and will move into Obedience training when Ranger is 5 months old. We highly recommend Asheville Dog Academy, Chris is helping us acheive our goal of raising a Happy, Friendly and Well Mannered canine citizen.

Our goldador, Wyatt, is a lot of dog - sweet, but couldn’t manage his energy. While we’re still fine tuning a few things since his 21 day board and train, we are enjoying him SIGNIFICANTLY more now and he seems so much happier. We took him to Carrier Park recently and noticed several dog owners struggling with dogs pulling, whining, and just generally not listening to them. It reminded me of how we used to struggle with Wyatt, despite working diligently to train him on our own for nearly 1.5 years. I felt so relieved that we’re not struggling like that anymore! Chris and his team at Asheville Dog Academy did wonders with Wyatt. In addition to being much more manageable in public, he’s so much calmer at home as well. While quite the investment, totally worth the money! Chris has made it clear that this is a lifetime guarantee and we’re confident that he’ll continue to work with us and Wyatt, as/if needed.

We rescued our dog in hopes of being able to take him almost everywhere with us and enjoy his company. He was a great dog from the beginning; however he needed some leash, stay, and place work. We found Asheville Dog Academy and decided to put Chance in the program. Chris and his team have a true love for the dogs and we could see that immediately. We picked him up almost a week ago from the 21 Day Board and Train program and have been so overjoyed with the results. I have had him out two days hiking and have been very pleased with him. We can all actually enjoy our time out. Chris and his team are great and 100% dedicated to your pups success. Thank you Asheville Dog Academy.

This is Bear, Bear is our sweet Rottermen. That would be a Rottweiler Doberman mix! Bear and I was soo lucky to come across Asheville Dog Academy in March, at one year and 5 months old Bear and I needed to learn how to understand and respect each other we needed training!!! Chris is so amazing in dog training after the first class I saw a complete turn around change in both Bear and myself. Chris though me to me patient with Bear and to be consistent. Bear weighing 130 lbs he needed to learn to listen and that is just what he was thought..... Chris is amazing we didn’t want to stop going to class! Thank you Dog Academy for making my Bear such a joy! I would give Dog Academy 10 stars if I could..

We adopted our lab mix, Cooper, when he was 6 months old and we were both still in school. When we brought him home he was so sweet but skittish and scared. After completing the basic and advanced training with Chris, Cooper has become confident, loving and full of energy. We were concerned we wouldn’t be able to afford training and if we could we weren’t sure it would be worth the money, as we’re students, but we would HAPPILY pay over and over again to get the results we did. Would recommend Asheville Dog Academy to anyone who wants to feel comfortable taking their furry companion in to any type of situation. Whether we’re going hiking, going to eat downtown, or hanging out with friends and their dogs I’m confident Cooper will behave and that we have the tools to help him do so.
