Canine Commander Dog Training

We cannot say enough good things about Chris and our experience at Canine Commander. We have been bringing our Doberman Achilles here since he was a puppy and the training/care he has received is unmatched. We use Chris for boarding as well and there’s no one else we trust to watch him while we’re out of town. Chris and his team are very patient and you can tell they really care about the dogs and their wellbeing. Huge shoutout to Josh as well for the wonderful training and who our Achilles absolutely loves! We always get compliments about how well trained Achilles is and we’re always recommending Canine Commander to everyone.

I have been working with Chris and his team for years and they are phenomenal to work with. I previously used their boarding service for my older dog and he loved every time we brought him to Canine Commander. I recently used the Board and Train service for our new Pitbull puppy (5 months old) and it made such a difference in our dogs behavior. Chris and Josh worked with our pup for 2 weeks and when we picked him up he was so well behaved. I felt comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands and was being trained by professionals. My dog loved his time there as we have been back for refresher trainings and my dog was thrilled to be back. Not only did Canine Commander give us a solid foundation to continue our training journey but they truly cared about our dog. I highly recommend Chris an

We wouldn’t trust anyone else with our dog. Chris is, hands down, the best trainer we’ve ever worked with. When we adopted our dog, he was anxious and struggled with basic commands—especially the ones that are critical for staying safe in a busy city like NYC. After working with Chris and his team, he became more confident, obedient, and overall a much happier dog. Chris is a true expert, and we highly recommend Canine Commander for both training and boarding. Even though we live in Manhattan, my wife and I never hesitate to make the hour-long drive out to Long Island when we’re leaving town. Honestly, the way our dog sprints into Chris’s house, we sometimes wonder if he likes Chris more than he likes us.

I met Chris 3 years ago, through my vet’s office in Huntington, after multiple trials with other trainers for my now 5 year old rescue. Chris came to the house, and my dog was instantly different around him. He’s calm and confident, and good natured, and my very anxious pup responded to his training very easily. We have boarded our dog with him multiple times over the years, and also took advantage of the 2-week board and train program Chris offers at his bethpage location. His associate, Josh, made significant progress with our dog and I can’t even express what a relief it has been to know we can board Molly with Chris without stress or worry. In fact, she comes back to us happy, healthier, and in great shape. Chris is a true professional, probably an actual dog whisperer, and most

We took our 10 month old puppy for training at Canine Commander School with Commander Chris and Josh. We were recommended by several friends who brought their dogs for training. We couldn't be more pleased with their direction and education with our dog! We have seen great progression with our dogs unwanted behaviors! Chris has many years of hands on experience with dogs and training them! I have never had such great results with other dog trainers! Money well spent!! Ava AG
