I started with 80+ pounds of hyper dog that I could barely control, but
after working with Be Free Dogs the transformation was amazing.  The
training has been very liberating.  I can take him anywhere with me and
not have to worry about him.  I can't say enough about the spectacular
training that both my dog and I have received.  

 

Chris Valdes is the most personable, competent, knowledgeable, give his all dog and human trainer I know.  He has changed my nightmare dog to a very obedient loving pet.  I experienced immediate results.  I would've paid triple of what I paid for his services.  And his dog "Emmit" is amazing!!! Very happy and is able to perform in the most distracting of places. This man is the BEST!

Chris is a wonderful trainer - smart, kind and consistent. The dogs he trains are happy and confident in their work. I recommend Chris to anyone who wants their dog treated right.” 

After years of having small friendly dogs as pets I suddenly found myself with an incredibly dog-aggressive German Shepherd.  Vince was out of control and very hard for me to manage. It was not until he bit my neighbor that I realized I needed help. I was virtually paralyzed and afraid to leave the house with him and was considering giving him up. Fortunately for both of us, I met Chris. After just six training sessions I can’t believe he is the same dog.  He is able to go off leash with NO problem and I am always in complete control.  Training with Chris was a great experience because he worked with both Vince and myself making sure that we were comfortable in all types of situations. I’m so grateful to Chris for the incredible results; having Vince trained has given me my life back and really allowed both of us to truly “Be Free.”

“The clicker-training program I went through with Be Free Dogs was a very positive experience.  They have given me the confidence to successfully train my Corgi while maintaining his enthusiasm.  He remains attentive to my commands even through distractions.  We are both happier due to the training.” 

"My dog is 72 lbs of energy waiting to happen. In spite of his size, he is very sensitive to even the mildest forms of "correction". So, it was important to me to find a training program that would achieve results quickly  but would not break his happy-go-lucky, trusting spirit. Thanks to Be Free Dogs'' tailored and balanced approach to training, I have an incredibly happy, spirited but controlled dog."  

Be Free Dog Training has been a lifesaver for me and my Boxer Puppy Max.  Boxers are a pretty large breed and my Max is extremely strong and hyper. I had considered training classes when I first bought Max but I decided to put it off. Then About 3 months ago my dog ran into the middle of the street and was very nearly ran over by oncoming traffic. I felt powerless and I then realized I did not have any real control over my dog. I called Chris Valdes and he immediately took charge of the situation. I went with a 10 week program and I am glad I did. Max and I both have come a long way. I now feel completely confident having Max off leash or in any situation in public or at home. His whole demeanor is changed; he is much more calm and people stop me everywhere we go to tell me how well trained he is. Thank You Be Free dogs!

I have to say that the remote collar training we received with Be Free Dogs has been more than exceptional.  We can take our 1 year old lab anywhere with the confidence that she will be under control.  At first of course we were worried about using the collar as training but she loves learning with it.  It has been the best decision we have made with our dog training.

When I received Tartan at 7 weeks of age, he was a wee fur-ball full of
energy and of character.  As a Scottish Terrier, he quickly showed his
stubborn will, "boss" attitude, and intelligence.  I had my hands full.  I
began looking for a trainer since I knew that Tartan would out-do the puppy
kindergarten. Most private trainers told me he was too young at 9 weeks so
to wait till he was at least 4 months.  Tartan thought he was a one years
old dog!  Luckily, we ran into Chris Valdes.  Chris took one look at Tartan
and said he could be trained easily.  The Be-Free's positive, structured
obedience given by Chris provided Tartan mental stimulation and a foundation
in discipline.  Chris provided love and full of praise during training that
Tartan enjoyed his lessons and loved seeing Chris each time.  My friends and
co-workers have seen the dramatic change in Tartan since he's been trained.
He is still a Scottish Die-hard but manageable and calm.
