Chris is amazing. We called him about our crazy 7 month old mini Aussie. She ruled our house from the time she woke up (5:30 am) until she went to bed. She jumped, barked, was on all the furniture and pulling like crazy on walks and lunging at cars. After 2 hours with Chris she was a new dog. He taught us all how to communicate with one another (we have a 7 and a 9 year old daughters who were there too). She no longer pulls on walks, jumps on furniture and sleeps until we wake up. It was world changing and we couldn't thank him enough. read more

Chris is an amazing trainer. He is able to quickly identify corrections that need to be made by you to help positively reinforce good behavior from your dog. I was astounded to see what he was able to accomplish in such a short time. With us he has helped with resource guarding, jumping, walking on leash, and nipping. Chris is friendly and helpful. I told my husband that I felt so encouraged after our training with him. read more

Walk n’ Roll K9 - My dog - Pet Training Near Me

I've known Chris at Walk and Roll K-9 for over 20 years, and when it came time to get help with our reactive Aussie/Catahoula mix, Penny, he was the only person I trusted. In just one session, Chris completely turned things around -- Penny's reactivity toward people and other dogs was gone, and I finally felt empowered to communicate with her clearly and confidently. By the end of the session, she was calmly and appropriately interacting with several off-leash dogs without a hint of reactivity. Chris is a total rock star and a true professional. I can't recommend him highly enough! read more

Chris answered my request for a trainer in Buellton, CA. As you want in a trainer, Chris is a really good communicator. He asked key questions about my needs, my dog, and our availabilty. Then, he gave me some options for providing training for my new adult rescue dog. Specifically, I was looking for a trainer to help me to teach my dog to respect the cats at home. There is also a little separation anxiety. Chris arrived on time and with all his considerable skills! The session lasted for 1.5 hours. He was able to give me some immediate training on how to train my dog to avoid both my cats and their spots --- like the catio. He also noticed my dog, Gema, pulled me around a bit when walking on the lead. LIterally, within 15 minutes, Gema was heeling like a pro -- and shortly, I had the ability to reinforce this behavior the correct way all by myself. In fact, the day after Chris left Gema continued this behavior -- and I was able to continue my good leadership as well. Chris explained things clearly. He was really a kind person --- listened really well to me (ok, I can talk an ear off) and observed. Just a really good person to have helping. you out. I'm working on the tools and skills Chris gave me and fully expect to get Gema off to a good start. And keep my cats in good health! In the future, I plan to have Chris back to fine-tune and introduce more behaviors. 10/10 will be using Walk n'Roll again, thank you, Chris. read more

Walk n’ Roll K9 - Gema at the ranch - Pet Training Near Me

Can't say enough about Chris! We initially needed help with getting our 5 month old min pin and our newly rescued 7 year old standard schnauzer to be able to cohabitate. Our puppy's energy seemed to be too much for the schnauzer and she was really aggressive with her corrections, so we had to keep them on separate parts of the house for the past 3-4 weeks. A day before Chris arrived for our in-home training, we saw that Maggie had also become super reactive towards a guest that just arrived that day to stay with us, and would not stop barking at him. The only training that I knew was positive reinforcement training, so the only way we got her to stop is by having our guest feed her treats and trying to be nice, and giving her 'sit' commands. Not ideal. Chris came over the next day and in our one session with him, he immediately got Maggie to stop barking at him, and he taught us the way to correct bad behavior. We had her heeling on walks, and being calm when we saw other dogs and people/kids, and most importantly, being chill around our rescue. He also worked with the rescue, who's already a super chill dog, and we got her to heel on her walks, and be more gentle with her corrective behavior. Fast forward two days later, and we now have the puppy and the older dog sharing the same house space and even sharing the same bed! Most importantly, the rescue's corrections towards the puppy are now just a good bark, with no teeth showing our lunging. It's an incredible transformation. 3 weeks ago, we were about to re-home the schnauzer because we didn't think it was going to ever work out between these two, and thanks to Chris, we have a nice, quiet, peaceful home again and both these dogs are living together happily. Not only is Chris a great trainer, he's a really nice guy who really walks you through his techniques and provides next steps before he leaves. He's also very responsive to any follow up questions we have. 5 stars all day, if I could provide more I would! Thank you Chris! Tyler and Jeni read more

Chris is a miracle worker! I really thought I was just going to have to face that my dog would never be able to be walked around where other dogs might be. Our first session today showed me it's possible for my dog Grace to be out and about with other dogs and be coexisting with them! At the end of our session she wasn't lunging or barking even when other dogs were barking at her she stayed neutral to her environment which is something I never thought was possible especially with dogs around!I tried other trainers but none helped all of them just said oh treats will solve the problem. But Chris gets to the root of the problem without treats but proper training/techniques that will actually help! Looking forward to what's to come with graces training! And if you're looking for a trainer Chris is the best one there is read more

Hey people! We were desperate. Already spent huge amount of money,our 2 7 months puppies did not pay attention to anybody,including previous trainers.Our life was a hell....Until we met Chris. One session,miracle happened. And,Chris is very honest and fun to be around. Thank you very much,Chris,you are the best. read more

Chris is a miracle worker! We adopted a staffy from Ventura County Animal Services and he was HIGHLY reactive towards both people and dogs. We couldn't have people in our house because his barking from the crate was so loud that we couldn't have a conversation outside the house. He was peeing on our things to establish dominance. Within one training session with Chris, we had a completely different dog. He is by no means perfect but we can have people in our home and he is no longer peeing on our things. We're super excited to see where our pitty will be in a month! Seriously though - hire Chris! He's friendly and knows what he's doing. read more

Chris is the most amazing dog whisperer along with just an all around amazing human!!!! He is kind , compassionate, and knows animals even the most labeled and aggressive ones! Our pit/boxer mix Bo could never be off leash around other dogs without being pushy and aggressive . After the first session he was like a new dog and during the next session he was off leash and playing with dogs at the beach without any issues! He listens so well now!! And who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks....Bo is 10years old. We've referred Chris to other friends and they've all been equally satisfied!!! Call Chris with whatever issues you have with your pups!! He'll solve them Guaranteed!!!! read more

I couldn't be any happier that we called Chris. Our 105 lbs, 8-year-old, American Bulldog, Parker, thought that he was in charge. He wouldn't listen to my wife or myself and had issues with aggression. He had gotten out of our yard on a few occasions and had gone after a neighbor. He also tried to go after our mail carrier. He was also jealous and possessive and any time I would hug my wife, he would try and get between us. I did a google search for "aggressive dog training in Ventura Country," and of all the search results, Chris just looked like a normal, relatable guy. Since Parker is 8, I was a bit skeptical at first that Chris would be able to help us but after just the first visit, all my apprehensions were gone. Chris came by for just over 2 hours but in that time, Parker did a complete 180. Chris was able to show us methods that were 100% effective and that still continue to work to this day. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone. read more

5 stars is not enough! As others have said, Chris is a miracle worker! Our two 2-year-old boxers were constantly fighting to the point where we couldn't even have them out together because it wasn't safe. Chris not only solved the problem, but understood the dog dynamics going on, and gave us multiple tools to manage the aggression/fighting, but also to train them into obedient dogs (not stealing food, walking on a leash, annoying barking). All this in one hour! I cannot recommend Chris enough! We will be forever grateful. read more

Chris is an absolute miracle worker. My dog was extremely dog aggressive, to the point where it was difficult to walk him and impossible to be around other dogs. Within 20 minutes of meeting him, Chris had my dog playing with his dogs (off leash), and able to walk off leash as well. Fast forward 2 months (roughly 7 sessions), and he is a totally different dog. He's able to play with other dogs, run around off leash, and is significantly more relaxed in general. He's also better about pulling on leash, and his recall is excellent. I couldn't recommend Chris enough, and have already referred multiple friends to him. Only regret is not finding him sooner. read more

Super grateful for Chris and his wisdom. I highly recommend his services. Chris has helped my rescue dog Lua with her aggression and overprotective instinct to other dogs both on leash and off leash. I am amazed how effective his methods are. I trust he can turn any dog into a confident calm and obedient one. I feel confident that I can now care for my dog and allows us to have the best life together without fear. I spend the past year worrying , avoiding other dogs and stressing about how my dog would react to other dogs. Today, after just one session, I am confident Lua understands her role and feels comfortable welcoming other dogs into her space without reactivity. And I can't emphasize enough how kind, available and generous Chris is. You can tell and feel that this is his gift and is truly a huge privilege to learn from him (and his pupps !!) . read more

Finding Chris was the highlight of our week. Our 2 poodles have aggression issues toward other dogs. We have tried many trainers but no one like Chris. He had the dogs walking in a pack with his dogs and behaving well within 30 minutes. Also, Chris is cool and clearly knows what he is doing. We will be booking our next session asap read more

Chris has been a wonderful dog trainer to our Corgi puppy Annie. She is only 7 months old, but walks on a leash like a champ. When we first brought her there she wouldn't even move with a collar on! More than that she has perfect obedience training, basic skills and is starting to learn tricks now! It has advanced her socialization with others dogs beyond our wildest dreams! Chris is extremely knowledgeable, professional and wise with our furry friend. We 100% recommend Chris & Walk n' Roll K9! read more

One visit. That's all it took to resolve my dogs problems. My dog was out of control on a leash, and now walks absolutely beautifully. She was cat, aggressive, and while I'm not ready to leave the dog and cat together alone, they share the house and the sofa peaceably. All methods were gentle. I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Chris! read more

Chris has helped our dog tremendously in just two sessions. Going for walks and taking our dog to the beach used to be a huge, stressful, chore - constantly looking to avoid other dogs, crossing the street, etc. just to avoid his fear aggression (barking, lunging, nipping) with other dogs. Within the first 20 minutes of our first session our dog was able to walk in a "pack walk" with Chris' two dogs, after just lunging and nipping at them at the beginning of the session. I can't explain enough how much of a relief it is to have a dog that is now able to tolerate and even hang out with other dogs! We feel like we finally have freedom in taking our dog more places without stress and we cannot thank Chris enough for that. To anyone considering getting training for their dog with Walk N' Roll K9 - DO IT. Your dog and mental health will thank you. read more

I reached out to Chris and Ashley about a behavioral Aussie who had previously been on death row because of his food aggression and resource guarding. He had bitten every staff member at the shelter and continued his aggressive tendencies at the sanctuary he landed in. I almost felt like this was one I should have let go...until Chris came along. He gave Chris a run for his money, as he had been practicing this habit, this means of getting what he wanted, for so long. I watched his progress with Chris, and it was amazing how quickly he turned around. While the first week may have been a little rough, Wylie was following Chris's every command by week two. After that, Wylie was a changed dog forever. What I love about them is that it's not about controlling the dog. It's about building a relationship of trust and respect. He gives the dogs what they need- exercise and fulfillment through off leash beach runs and hikes through nature. He respects the individual dog while teaching them to respect and trust him. They learn to just be a dog, and that their leader will do the rest. This dog had no other hope. He had been through trainers, through multiple shelters, and Chris and Ashley changed his life forever. I could not be more grateful. Whether you need basic commands, puppy training or have the most aggressive of dogs, Walk N Roll K9 can meet all of your needs! read more

Absolutely recommend. Came to Chris with my dog Dexter (2&1/2 yo pitbull mix) who needed help with not only aggression towards other dogs but simple training as well. Within the first session there was already a drastic change and after boarding him with Chris for 4 nights, it's almost like Dexter's a whole new dog! Definitely going to continue using Chris for training and any boarding help from here on out! read more

Found Chris here on Yelp and I'm so lucky I did. My boy Knox has been running my life for the past 5 years and I decided it was time for that to stop. Knox was bad with recall, leash manners and a bit aggressive with other dogs and after my first session he wasn't pulling and already listening to me, I was hooked! Fast forward to a couple more sessions Knox is doing great off leash and with other dogs. Can't thank Chris enough read more

Chris just left from our 3rd dog training session and I am feeling the weight of so much dog related stress melting away. Chris is such a fun, kind guy who CLEARLY understands dogs and how to train their owners. He worked with me and my 16 month old golden retriever Beau as well as my roomate's dog Willow. Chris got Beau heeling after only two short sessions and helped Willow to essentially turn off her "prey drive" which was causing problems in our neighborhood. He brings his own dogs with him to use while training which is super helpful because you cannot always guarantee you will see other dogs on walks etc. to work on reactivity. He even came over to help me introduce my friend's small chihuahua to our big dogs, facilitating a smooth and safe meeting. Chris is incredibly laid back but knows how to teach your dog to respect you and also build a stronger connection with them. My roomate and I now feel confident enough to call our house "the Alpha House" because we are learning to be the top dogs. I would really love to save up to do a week of board and training with Beau because Chris is a miracle worker. Highly recommend Walk n' Roll K9! read more
