Working with Cristian was a learning experience for my dog, but most importantly me. My dog had a leg amputated two months ago and I had been soft in him and compassionate to his needs, but Cristian assured me of more ideal (and commanding) circumstances. I've only booked one successful session, but we're currently discussing future sessions. Cristian is great and I truly appreciate his work!

Came right on time, went right to work with both of our dogs. Worked on leash walking, how to correct it perfectly. Things literally got better in like the first 30 minutes. Very professional and knowledgeable. Will be having him come again soon.

Christian was great with Luna. He came over and worked with Luna in her environment. He taught us the basics so we can continue to build on it. Looking forward to more at-home training sessions.

This was our second session with Cristian. Our dachshund is reactive to guests visiting our apartment and to unneutered puppies. He recommended a correction collar that has worked wonders. He also taught us the right commands + proper timing our corrections

As a new puppy owner-just 12 days in-I've been feeling overwhelmed and a little lost.
Thankfully, Cristian came in ready to tackle all my questions and concerns. He provided my children and me with valuable tips and guidance on crate training, potty training, and leash walking.
We recently made the switch from a playpen to a crate, which has already helped so much with potty training. Cristian also showed us firsthand how to train our sweet Myles on the leash, and it
Made a big difference.

I haven't had a puppy in a very long time, and this dog is so different from my last dog. I knew it was me who needed a little training, and Cristian gave me tips I needed

Absolutely phenomenal! I was incredibly impressed with the efficiency and effectiveness of our puppy training session. In just one hour, Cristian covered two essential commands - 'sit' and 'off" - and introduced crate training to my rambunctious Golden Retriever puppy. Not only did my puppy respond remarkably well, but Cristian explained the techniques in a way that was easy for me to understand and implement.
Cristian possesses incredible patience and an evident passion for working with dogs. His calm demeanor immediately put my puppy at ease, and their ability to break down complex training concepts into simple, actionable steps was truly remarkable. The crate training demonstration empowered to continue the training at home. If you're looking for a skilled, compassionate, and efficient puppy trainer, look no further than Cristian. He is worth every penny and has made a significant difference in my puppy's development in just one hour. Highly, highly recommended!

Cristian was great! He helped me with crate training issues with my 9 week old puppy yesterday, and today he's sleeping in there no problem. He's been a pleasure to work with! Will definitely be reaching out in the future!

Cristian arrived on time and really gave us some good insights about our two dogs. We have been training them now for two days since he left and we see a difference already. I recommend Christian for anyone who needs dog training.

Cristian was very helpful in assisting us house train and teach us how to walk with control for our one year old frenchie. He provided us textbook training and also one on one practice which we really appreciated. Cristian's experience was very apparent with the behavior of our two dogs. I would recommend and hire again if I needed to.

This man knows how to do his job and more importantly he knows how to share the information so the client can do it alone.

Noticed great results after just one session of training. Cristian was easy to communicate with, on time, and ready for action when he arrived.
He gave great insight during our training session and really knows what he is doing. My dog was not terrible before but he was lacking the tools to listen when walking. I feel that now after just one session he is already doing so much better! I would highly recommend Cristian for training.

We have started working with Cristian to train our four-month-old puppy, Arlo, and we couldn't be more pleased with the progress we've seen.
From our very first session, Cristian displayed a deep understanding of canine behavior and training techniques that have proven to be effective and gentle.
We've noticed significant improvements in Arlo's obedience, particularly with commands like "sit" and "stay". It's only been 1 day.
Cristian is not only knowledgeable, but he is also patient and attentive, always taking the time to answer our questions and provide us with helpful tips to reinforce training at home. His passion for dogs and training is evident.

Cristian came to me and my mom and helped train our two cavapoos who had some aggressive behaviors. He also worked on their obedience training, which they really needed. He was super nice and professional, explaining everything along the way. We got so much out of our hour session and we look forward to keep working with him. Highly recommend him!

If you need help training your dog, Christian is the best person for the job! Not only did he incorporate my son in the training, but my dog Macho showed major improvement at our first session! He was very patient with my son & l, and also explained to us why our behavior mattered and how our behavior mattered in training! Will definitely keep him as our trainer!

Cristian was able to give me all the tips I needed for potty training my older dog in a specific spot in my house. It was very easy to schedule an appointment with him, it was easy to talk to him and he was able to answer all my questions. I would hire him again without a doubt!

Cristian is a dog whisperer, I swear. He gave me regular updates about my dog Georgie with awesome video content. George is now a good boy. After a week with Cristian, he transformed from a leash-pulling terror to an actual angel who walks nicely, sits on command, and stays in one spot. I never thought he could improve so much after just a week. Thanks Cristian! Can't wait to do some more training sessions - George wants to learn fetch and roll over next.

I recently had a training session with Christian for my newly adopted pup, and I couldn't be more impressed. Christian was incredibly knowledgeable and efficient, addressing the worst of my dog's leash behaviors in no time at all. I was honestly shocked at how quickly the improvements were made. Christian also explained everything in a simple and clear manner, making it easy for me to continue the training on my own. Highly recommend!

Cristian was great with my vizsla pup. He's doing so well with leash walking after just one session. We're both feeling a lot more confident in the outside world together.

I hired the service because my dog and my baby don't get along, Cristian came once and gave me tips on what to do and did some exercises with the dog and I can already see a change, Amazing!
Thank you

The impact of an hour session with Cristian and my puppy was absolutely incredible. My puppy went from not leaving his crate, and refusing to walk on a leash to fully walking on his own at the end the session with a ton of confidence.
Definitely going to do another session with Cristian and could not be happier with his work.

It took Cristian 1 session for my family and I to see the light at the end of a very frustrating tunnel with our dog. I have had a dog my whole life but our new golden doodle had me for a loss.
His behavior was terrible from jumping onto the counters to steal food to peeing everywhere in the house. Cristian helped us manage our dog in just one hour, and I plan to work with him until our dog is fully trained. I can't thank him enough.

Cristian did a great job training my mom and her dog. He gave her great commands to work with him and I am sure with more practice my mom's dog will be better at walking on the leash.

I'm blown away by Christian Palacios-Macchino dog trainer. In one session my puppy was walking on a leash, listened to commands, was able to stay in his dog carrier, and walk up and down stairs to my bed

Was a pleasure working with Cristian, he was very helpful and patient with both my family and pup. He has a quick response time. And I appreciate him fitting us in his busy schedule.
Would definitely refer him to anyone who needs dog training. And our pup absolutely loved him!

It was a pleasure having Christian help me with my pooch. She's 10 years old and I was having some potty training problems I needed some help with. Christian understood the problem quickly, demonstrated a nice connection with my dog, gave me specific steps and recommendations, and tapered those suggestions to the feedback I gave him. I've worked with dog trainers before and Christian is excellent.

Cristian is FANTASTIC! I couldn't believe that my rescue dog, who has lived through lots of trauma and separation, responded during the first session. He now obeys commands and no longer growls and lunges at other dogs. We have more work to do, but Cristian really is a godsend. He is all business. No small-talk or schmoozing. He is articulate and explains every step in depth. | HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!

Cristian knows dogs and their behavior so well.
He teaches you how to train your dog but also why it works and how your dog perceives things.
He is a nice guy and he will help you to have your dog under control or to teach him new things. He is also a great dog walker and dog sitter!

Nothing but GREAT things to say about Cristian.
We were not making any progress with our prior trainer with our Wire Haired Dachshund (they can be very strong willed.) Cristian stepped in and trained both the dog and us! He quickly grasped what the issues were, came up with a viable and reasonable action plan, and taught us (and him) what to do. And, he's always willing to provide advice when we run into each other in the neighborhood! Cristian is always on time and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.

Cristian is simply the BEST Service Dog Trainer!
We had a wonderful time with Cristian. Our daughter (7 years old) has a number of issues, among them anxiety disorder. so she was really in favor of anyone coming 'close' to us or her beloved do. But Cristian was amazing from the beginning. He built trust with our daughter first and simultaneously with the dog. He had an amazing sense of what needed to happen. Our dog immediately recognized Cristian as an authority. However, Cristian managed to maintain the entire training process to be about the relationship between our dog and our daughter. It was a wonderful journey to see them grow together. Our daughter and our dog have been playfully close. But with Cristian's help our dog learned what he was always meant to be, a psychiatric service dog. Our dog was always sensitive to our daughter's moods, but with Cristian's help he became a real asset, companion and help to our daughter and to us.
Today, due to Cristian's training, we trust our dog tremendously. We monitor him. The moment he is sending a signal, such as raising his paw or gently massaging our daughter's shin we know something is up. Our dog provides comfort and safety to our daughter. Since he is aligned with her, we know exactly the
"temperature" of the room and when we as parents are needed. Since Cristian trained our dog for our daughter we have had a more relaxed time as a family overall. Our daughter is more relaxed while participating in everyday life (going out in public) and we, as parents, are more aware when we have to pay more attention
Most importantly Cristian was with us all the way; we are very grateful for that

I recently had the pleasure of working with Christian who helped me train my 6-month-old puppy. I was impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, and overall approach to dog training. He took time to explain how the training process will go and what to expect.
Firstly, my friend recommended Christian so l knew that he was highly qualified and experienced, which gave me confidence in his ability to help my puppy. He was able to quickly identify my training needs and my puppy's personality, and develop a customized training plan that was tailored to my individual problems with a puppy. I have recommended Christian to 4 dog friends and they are amazed with the results. I would highly recommend this dog trainer to anyone who is looking for a professional and effective trainer to help them train their puppy. Christian helped my puppy to walk on a leash, listen to my commands, and be more obedient overall, which has made a huge difference in our daily life together.
