In-Home Behavior Specialist · Contra Costa County
Aggression. Reactivity. Barking. Separation anxiety.
We'll come to your home and show you what's possible — free.
Maybe your dog lunged at another dog. Maybe they growled at a family member. Maybe the barking complaints from neighbors have gotten serious. Maybe a trainer already tried and it didn't work.
You're not being dramatic. You're not overreacting. And you're not out of options.
Whatever brought you here — we've seen it before, and we can help.
These aren't minor inconveniences. They're the problems that make daily life stressful — and sometimes unsafe.
Growling, snapping, biting — toward strangers, guests, or family members. We work in the environment where it happens.
Explosive reactions to other dogs, people, or movement on walks. We address the trigger, not just the symptom.
Panic when left alone — howling, destroying furniture, self-harm. This requires in-home work to solve.
At the door, on walks, at nothing. Barking that costs you sleep, neighbors, and peace of mind.
Growling or snapping over food, toys, furniture, or territory — especially dangerous with children in the home.
Shutting down, hiding, or reacting with aggression out of fear. Requires patience and a structured approach — not force.
Two dogs from the same litter raised together, developing codependency, anxiety, and dangerous fighting between them.
Individual results vary based on your dog's specific needs.
"I had 2 other trainers come to my home to stop my dogs from jumping on everyone who walked through the door, neither of them could handle my dogs jumping and one suggested drugs to calm them down!!!! Chris stopped them from jumping in what seemed like 2 minutes... And this is all during his free demonstration, the other 2 trainers charged me just to come out, before any kind of results and they literally could not even stop the jumping. I paid a little more than i had hoped but seeing the non results from 2 other trainers who were cheaper makes it worth every cent."— Christine R., Walnut Creek | Dogs: Waffles (Malamute) and Boss (Husky)
"I'm writing this review in support of Chris who is an expert dog trainer. My daughter received 2 GSP/Lab dogs from the same litter. Unknown to us at the time was Littermate syndrome which occurs when two puppies (littermates or similar age) raised together develop severe codependency, leading to anxiety, aggression, and intense, dangerous fighting. Symptoms include extreme separation anxiety, fear of strangers, and inability to train individually. Management involves intensive, separate training, socialization, feeding, and crating. My wife and I took in one of the dogs named Chocolate after the two twins had 2 dangerous fights. Both dogs are fine with other dogs and humans. But the dog we took in was playful and loved to jump at us in a playful mood which we wanted correct and did not follow basic commands. We were fortunate to find Chris who offered to train the dog. We first met at our house on 2 occasions and then began meeting at a nearby park. Chris clearly understood dog behavior and was able to train Chocolate with basic commands. Chris clearly states the steps involved and then demonstrates them. It was easy for my wife and I to follow those steps to teach basic commands such as OFF, SIT, HEEL, and RELEASE. We then began to re-introduce Chocolate's twin named Raven and we worked together to re-unite the twins. Chris deserves the highest rating possible as a knowledgeable, caring dog trainer."— Larry L., San Francisco | Dogs: Chocolate and Raven (GSP/Lab twins — littermate syndrome case)
"Did a wonderful dog training my two dogs to get along and be desensitized to food aggression. Friendly and professional, I couldn't recommend WUDOG more."— Maiya V.
"This guy is great. helped me with food aggression and came over for a free consultation. Very personable and knowledgeable. highly recommend"— Nicklos V.
Your dog isn't reactive at the trainer's facility. They're reactive at your front door, on your street, in your yard. Working there is the only way to address real triggers in real context.
A dog that lunges in your kitchen may be perfectly calm somewhere unfamiliar. A group class or training center won't show you what you're actually dealing with.
The guests who come through your door. The neighbors your dog barks at. The food bowl situation in your kitchen. We work with what's actually causing the problem.
No charge, no obligation. Chris comes to you and meets your dog in the environment where the problems actually happen.
Right there, in your home. Not a consultation — a demonstration. You'll see your dog respond before you spend a dollar.
One flat fee. Guaranteed for however long it takes. You always work directly with Chris — not a franchise, not an assistant.
The demonstration is free. There's no pressure, no commitment.
Just results — before you spend anything.
