Best By Farr Dog Training for dog training
Clear ✕All 13 Google reviews tagged “Dog training”
Chris Farr is an exceptional dog (and owner) trainer. I opted for the six in-person lessons because I wanted to know how to teach my dog myself and because I didn't want to be without my dog. After the first lesson or two, I was brain dead. There is so much I do without being aware that I'm doing it! Chris is…
It is difficult to fully express how thrilled our family has been with the results of sending our lab, Winston, to Chris at Best by Farr. Winston is a lovable, energetic dog with a big personality, but before training, his enthusiasm could sometimes make life a little chaotic. After spending four weeks with Chris,…
Training with Chris was worth every penny. We saw a huge difference in our golden. Would recommend to anyone.
Chris explains every step of every lesson and my dog loved him!
1000% recommend. Chris is the real deal. He has a deep understanding of the communication barrier between dogs and humans, and has the solution for creating understanding. My 5 month old German Shepherd went from tugging at my leash causing calluses on my hands, to walking by my side with a loose leash within weeks.…
They did amazing with training my puppy. I plan on continuing training when she’s a little older as well!
Chris is a genius. Warm, gracious, patient. He understands that the easiest part of dog training is the dog. The real work is getting the humans right. Is thoughtful, supportive, encouraging, and has vigirous follow-up to make sure you and the dog have an effective relationship. I really enjoyed our training time…
My chocolate lab puppy Tally Roux and I began obedience training with Chris in July 2025, when she was 5 months old. Since then, we have continued with Chris in laying the groundwork for field trials. That is how excellent of a trainer Chris is for both the dog and its handler. The experience has been…
The absolute best!! We have an almost 2 year old Bernedoodle and we've been through 2 prior training programs. Hands down, Chris' program has been the most effective. Our dog listens to commands which has completely changed the dynamics in our household! Sending our boy to Chris has been the BEST decision we made!
Chris did a great job of training, both me and my dog. He uses a lot of relevant analogies to get across the concepts, and he’s always checking-in to assure we’re on the same page with expectations and how we’re progressing. He helped me learn to be a better handler and trainer so that my dog and I can continue to…
We had a great experience with Chris Farr as he trained our 6 year old Pitbull, Domino, and of course, us as dog handlers! Before the 3 week training, Domino was pretty much impossible to walk anywhere without being pulled, dragged and fearful of encounters with other dogs. We were amazed to see how quickly Chris…
We did the two week training program and Wow what a difference. We have a nine month old golden retriever who never met a stranger and we were struggling to walk him or get him to respond to any commands. Chris worked his magic!! We can now walk our dog without fear of being pulled or him jumping on others. He’s…
Chris did an amazing job with our Bernadoodle puppy. Before we took her to Chris, I could not get her to walk on a leash, she would not come when called you would have to chase her. It was very frustrating especially when you’re trying to get out the door. It was tough having her around our friends and their kids…
