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.
"Chris stopped them from jumping in what seemed like 2 minutes. And this is all during his free demonstration — the other 2 trainers literally could not even stop the jumping."
"We worked together to re-unite the twins. Chris deserves the highest rating possible as a knowledgeable, caring dog trainer."
"I knew on meeting him that he was the guy for the job. Boba was actually calm around him, and allowed Chris to work with her."
"Helped me with food aggression and came over for a free consultation. Very personable and knowledgeable. Highly recommend."
"My dog normally barks at men but immediately responded so well as soon as she met Chris."
Individual results vary based on your dog's specific needs.
Ready to see what Chris can do for your dog?
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.
