Professional Dog Training in Minneapolis

Welcome to Canine Chris

Helping dogs and owners thrive through individualized dog training, clear communication, and relationships in the greater Minneapolis area.

Are you tired of feeling frustrated with your dog’s unwanted behaviors?

After training my dog, I wanted to empower other dog owners and help dogs become a better version of themselves.

Dog nipping on owner's pants? Train your dog's unwanted behaviors.
A dog with proper training can walk loosely on around, comes when called, and listens to it's owner.

Imagine what it will be like to have a dog that…

  • Walks nicely

  • Doesn’t chew on furniture

  • Is calm inside the home

  • Doesn’t jump on your guests

  • Comes when called

  • Just listens to you

What sets our dog training apart?

We specialize in creating happy, fulfilled dogs through balanced dog training that focuses on biological fulfillment. By engaging your dog in activities they naturally love, our expert dog trainers ensure both mental and physical well-being, helping your dog thrive in every environment.

Our approach emphasizes clear communication in dog training, teaching your dog precisely how to respond with methods that build trust and confidence. This creates a strong foundation for lasting dog behavior improvements. Unlike traditional dog training programs that rely only on treats, we use a dynamic blend of positive reinforcement rewards—play, freedom, and affection—to make training fun and effective for your dog.

With a tailored, balanced dog training method, we use tools like prong collars, e-collars, treats, and play to connect with dogs of all temperaments, from fearful to energetic to aggressive. Every dog training program is customized to your dog’s unique personality, because we know no two dogs are the same. Whether you’re seeking better obedience training, off-leash dog training, or a deeper bond with your dog, our personalized dog training services are here to guide you with expertise and enthusiasm!

Chris and his dog, Beau.
