Meet your dog trainer
Chris Vallee

Hey what's up, I'm Chris! I've grown up and currently live in Santa Barbara and Ventura area serving clients along the coast from San Francisco to San Diego. I specialize in training dogs with behavioral issues and aggression. Working alongside various humane societies and dog associations, focusing on dogs deemed "untrainable." To this day, I have never met a dog I could not fully train or rehabilitate.

"I specialize in dogs with behavioral issues, from leash pulling, excessive barking to aggression. There is no set training structure for a dog because no two dogs are the same."

I grew up surrounded by dogs. My dad would frequently take in dogs and I would watch him train them. Eventually I started training the dogs myself. By the time I was 12 years old, I was training my friends and neighborhood dogs. I now have over 20 years of experience and I love what I do. 

I specialize in dogs with behavioral issues, from leash pulling, excessive barking to aggression. There is no set training structure for a dog because no two dogs are the same. 

First, I evaluate each dog and then I combine a mixture of training methods that I have perfected over my lifetime. Using the two main ingredients of love and structure, any dogs issues can and will be fixed.

I train all dogs, from your 7 week old puppy to your adult power breed - Pit bull, Rottweiler or German Shepherd (all of which have a unfair bad rep in my opinion). Offering in person training from your home, the beach or the park, I tackle the problem head on. Drawing from my 20 plus years of experience, I have never encountered a dog whose issues I could not correct.

Testimonials

Chris is an absolute miracle worker. My dog was extremely dog aggressive, to the point where it was difficult to walk him and impossible to be around other dogs. Within 20 minutes of meeting him, Chris had my dog playing with his dogs (off leash), and able to walk off leash as well.

Fast forward 2 months (roughly 7 sessions), and he is a totally different dog. He's able to play with other dogs, run around off leash, and is significantly more relaxed in general. He's also better about pulling on leash, and his recall is excellent.

AN ABSOLUTE MIRACLE WORKER. MY DOG WAS EXTREMELY DOG AGGRESSIVE

I COULDN'T RECOMMEND CHRIS ENOUGH, AND HAVE ALREADY REFERRED MULTIPLE FRIENDS TO HIM. ONLY REGRET IS NOT FINDING HIM SOONER.
