Kriss is amazing! Our first two sessions were great. My girl Lexi is afraid and does not tolerate other dogs. Kriss gave me hope we will resolve this issue. I feel Kriss cares about my dog like her own. We still have more training to do but I already definitely recommend her.

Kris was great! Our first session was amazing. She gave me hope for my pup to be a better dog. She had him walking around her a stranger he didn’t know. Never have we been able to do that. I look forward to more training with her and working with Chief.

Kris is the best dog trainer around hands down. She really knows how to get any dog's attention no matter their behavior. My dogs absolutely love when she comes over for training or walking them when we are not home. She really spends as much time as you need to understand her training methods with your dog. This is a no brainer to use her.

First thing you need to know about Kris is that she’s amazing! We found her on thumbtack, after extensive research of similar services, she quickly became our first choice dog trainer. I’ve contacted a few other places, including Kris. Her response time was very fast, and after a very informative phone consultation, she instantly became the only trainer I wanted for my pup. She took her time with explaining everything to me, told me about her methods of positive reinforcement, and I got to hear how she spoke to her dogs. It was in a very calm and loving manner. I immediately realized that Kris is a dog lover before anything else, and I was not wrong. She treated our puppy like he was her own. We have a very energetic 4 month old puppy, Fenrir. He’s a mix of Staffordshire terrier, boxer, and a hound, among other breeds. He needed lots of help with potty training, crate training, basic commands, socializing, jumping, biting, etc. We made a decision of having Fenrir board and train with Kris for two weeks. Kris was able to fit us in pretty quickly. We got updates and videos of Fenrir’s progress on daily basis. She answered all the questions we had along the way. Fenrir not only got the training he desperately needed, he had a blast playing with new dog friends, running around in Kris’ enormous fenced backyard, taking trips to stores. I can go on about VGB training and Kris for a very long time. I will recommend her services to everyone I know. Fenrir came back home a very well behaved puppy. We will continue using Kris for more training and boarding needs in the future. Absolutely The Best Service! Thank you Kris! You are a Rock Star and a Doggy Whisperer! If I could give VGB Dogs 10+ stars, I would!
