Christian made a huge difference for our family. We sent both of our dogs to his one-month board-and-train program, and it was exactly what we needed: personalized, thoughtful, and transformative. Our older dog (6 years old) had been the “only child” his whole life, and bringing home our second dog—full of puppy energy at a year and a half—turned both their worlds upside down. On top of that, both dogs had reactivity around other dogs, which made walks and everyday life stressful. From the evaluation, Christian was able to understand each dog’s unique personality, tendencies, and triggers, and he came back with clear plans tailored specifically for each of them. He truly understood what makes our dogs tick. Their self-control has improved dramatically, their reactivity has significantly decreased, and, maybe most importantly for us, they’re now able to play, relax, and actually enjoy each other’s company at home. Watching them peacefully hang out together has been such a joy, and we didn't even think it would be possible. Christian brings so much expertise, calm presence, and genuine care for the dogs he works with. They absolutely adore him. We first heard about him through the owner of Brick City Pets, and I’m so glad we followed that recommendation. We’re walking away with happier, more grounded dogs and a lot more confidence as owners. Highly recommend!!

I came to Christian with concerns about Scooby’s behavior around other dogs/animals. As well as obedience issues because of his breed. Although I was worried that Scooby would be defiant or against the training with proper techniques and guidance we were able to get him to be a completely different dog. No leash pulling, follows orders and has lost all reactivity. His methods may be new to people and looked at differently but it’s a necessary step in the process to build a bond with your best friend and being able to effectively communicate with them. Christian is a great trainer and understands the tougher breeds to handle. Definitely look into training if you want a deeper connection with your dog.

Price assessment: Great price

Chris helped me with my super reactive dog, D, in ways I will forever be grateful for. D was super reactive towards other dogs of all sizes and breeds. She has a really high prey drive. She is a 40lb pebble girl that needed to learn boundaries in order to correct her undesirable behaviors. And she had a number of them. Pulling really badly on walks, jumping on people, attempting to attack other dogs, possessiveness of me in my home to the point I didn’t feel comfortable having people over. I adopted her from the Newark Animal Shelter. She came in as a stray, was in the shelter for 7 months and they knew little about her. When I brought her home, I quickly learned about these undesirable behaviors and started to panic. Bringing her back was not an option so I invested in Chris’s knowledge and expertise. Along with D’Souza training, I learned while she did. He always let me know what they were working on and I got plenty of update videos throughout the process. Through the process, he taught me about her behavior, he commands he implemented and why as well as how this works to correct her behavior. 10 OUT OF 10 HIRE BLUNT K9. He has so many options to help you and your dog and he is so patient in working with you to figure out what you and your dog need in order to live healthy and happy lives together!

Blunt K9 has been heaven sent for my reactive dog. We opted for the 3-week obedience boarding training with Christian. Not only did we feel safe with leaving our fur baby as he provided daily updates through video for an extra sense of security. After the three weeks we saw a tremendous change and couldn't be happier. Please do not hesitate to use this service you won't regret it.

Chris is an amazing person to work with and has always worked well with Dunkin. We have utilized a leash walking class for the community, group walks, and boarding services with Chris and have not been disappointed. He is very knowledgeable and provides expert advice on all situations surrounding Dunkin's behavior. I recommend working with Gimme Walks for all of your training, dog walking, and behavioral needs for your dog.

"I cannot recommend Blunt K9 (Chris + Jenny) enough! They are both very good with my girl Lumi and I can always trust that she will be in good hands while with them. So far I have used them for walks and boarding services while I am out of town and they make it very convenient to schedule, pick up/drop off, and provide updates. I can confidently say that Lumi also loves hanging out with Chris and his dogs as well. I can’t wait to see what the Traini program will look like since Lumi comes back a better-behaved dog every time"

Chris & Jenny are amazing! They take such good care of my fur baby and he truly enjoys his time with them. I use Gimme Walk for walks and boarding. It’s easy to schedule and they’ve become like extended family. I don’t trust anyone else when it comes to my pup!

If I could give me more stars I would. I adopted a dog that I realized was way above my pay grade in training. I ended up doing the Board and Training after taking a couple classes with Christian. He was consistent with updates whether they were hitting target goals or communicating that he's going to try an alternate approach. Week after week I could see the dog's obedience change from being a little rascal to a very well behaved dog. It really feels like night and day from how the dog went in and how he came out. Christian and Jenny were great for the weekly meeting where they went over everything that was trained during the week and teaching me how to make sure, I can maintain that after the dog comes home. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Blunt K9
