Kristian was great with our dog, Boomer. He helped to get him to finally stop barking so much and to stop tugging while being walked. He even helped us through introducing him to our cat, and taught us how to keep working on that situation. When I was in a jam, Kristian even helped to watch Boomer and our other dog, Allie, for the evening. Would highly recommend using him if you have a pet in need of a loving and knowledgeable trainer!

Thank you so much for the awesome review Mike! Working with you all has been my pleasure. Please tell Boomer and Allie, I said “Good Puppies!” … I know they’re a older, but they’re all puppies in my eyes 😁
Highly recommend this board-and-train program! The trainer was professional, caring, and kept me updated throughout the process. My dog came home better behaved, more obedient, and much more confident. The results exceeded my expectations, and I am very happy with the experience. Thank you for taking such great care of my dog!

It was a pleasure working with Christian, he is very knowledgeable, experienced and very friendly. A true professional as well, Sent follow up emails and text reminders about appointments, shows up on time, thoroughly goes over everything with you. Make sure you are satisfied with everything before he leave. You can tell he truly cares about your pets... Would highly recommend him.

Kristian is an amazing trainer. He is so patient and caring, not only with your dog but with you as well. His love for what he does really shows in everything he does. And, when you board your dog, you know that you are leaving them in the best hands. Your dog will be very well taken care of, loved and he will have an awesome time!!!! I recommend All 4 Paws TO EVERYONE who wants the best possible experience for their dog. Thank you Kristian, you really are an amazing person and you go above and beyond!!!

Thank you, for the amazing review! Tell Lola I said “Good Girl!”
Kristian was awesome we did an initial consultation with our 1 year old minature poodle. Our dog has a few behaviorial problems like walking a leash, barking at guest, barking at other dogd etc. Kristian was super professional and able to give us about 30 tips just in a consultation. We saw results in just one week of applying some of his methods. We plan to purchase a full training purchase very soon. I highly reccomend him! He also has such a calm demeanor my dog aitomatically started behaving with him and liked him so much.

Thank you so much, for this review, it warmed my heart to read it😊
I can’t thank Kristian enough for the help with my dog, Bingo. Before training, Bingo was extremely aggressive—biting, barking, lunging—you name it, especially when it came to grooming. He even bit me a couple of times, and we were turned away by multiple groomers because of his behavior. It was heartbreaking and stressful.
Working with Kristian completely changed our lives. He helped me rebuild my relationship with Bingo in a way that felt positive and respectful, not forceful. I finally started to understand my dog better and learned how to handle situations with calm and confidence. The training focused a lot on positive reinforcement, which Bingo absolutely responds to—he lives for praise, and it made a huge difference in how he behaved.
Now, not only is grooming more manageable, but Bingo also behaves better around other dogs. Before, he didn’t have any dog friends because he would bark like crazy and act out. That’s not the case anymore. He’s calmer, more social, and I feel more in control and connected with him than ever.
I can honestly say this training was the best thing I could’ve done for both of us.

You so much, Trang! I think of you And Bingo often. Please tell him I said “Good Boy!” And keep up the good work!
I recommend all All4Paws to anyone looking for an experienced and kind trainer. Kristian has 20+ years of experience and will work with you and come up with a payment plan if needed. My Dog, Lobo enjoys his sessions and I have seen a big difference in his behavior!

Thank you Veronica. It was my pleasure working with all of you. Great team! Please tell them I said “Good Puppies!” 🐶 🫶🏾
Kristian is hands down the best dog trainer in Houston and has been a life-changer for both my dog Zeus and me. Zeus, my 90lb adult German Shepherd, used to be very aggressive and had no idea how to walk on a leash—he was walking me instead! Kristian’s training completely transformed him, and now we can enjoy peaceful walks, playtime, and quality moments together.
What makes Kristian exceptional is how he understands dogs on a deeper level. Zeus has severe anxiety due to his unknown past (he’s adopted, and I got him as an adult), but Kristian knew exactly how to connect with him and help him feel secure. The results were astonishing. Every time a session ended, Zeus would cry because he didn’t want to leave Kristian. After his on-boarding training, Zeus was so attached to him that he didn’t even want to stay with me at first—that’s how much he loved and trusted him.
Kristian not only changed Zeus’s behavior but also gave me the tools and confidence to handle him better. His patience, kindness, and dedication are unmatched. If you want someone who will treat your dog like their own and deliver remarkable results, Kristian is the trainer for you. He has truly changed our lives for the better, and I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Thank you so much, Eliza. I was just thinking of Zues the other day. I know you both are enjoying Spain! I’m very glad I had a chance to meet and work with you both. Please tell Zues I said “Good Boy!” ✌🏾🫶🏾 🐶
Kristen is absolutely amazing! Took my puppy, Simba, to All 4 Paws Dog Training as soon as I got him. My baby is light years more advanced than other dogs. I get so many compliments on how well trained and behaved he is. Kristen is very responsive and always available to chat when I have questions or need help. Highly recommend All 4 Paws for your fur-baby training needs.

SIMBA!!! I think he could lead a pack of Lions with that heart of gold, weighing in at a whole 4.3lbs.😂
Thank you for such an awesome review. Please tell Simba I said “Good Boy!!”
