EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Jordan Sidhom2025-03-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged Christian from Affinity Dog to help us with our 9.5 year old German Shepherd (Saskia). Saskia was having anxiety and was not comfortable with strangers. She was territorial and did not cope well when we had visitors over. She was also dog reactive on walks. We were having a baby, and wanted to make sure that we could help address these behavioural issues before baby arrived. We opted for the Good Dog Foundation Program where Christian came to our place 4 times to help us and Saskia. Christian did an amazing job, he was able to articulate what was happening, and why. We worked with him to address the root cause of these behaviours through various training and exercises. The change with Saskia was remarkable, and started happening quite quickly. We stuck with the activities and training between visits, and this allowed us to advance the training each time Christian came. We are still working with Saskia ongoing using the methods that Christian showed us, and we are definitely chipping away at her anxiety and the triggers. We have noticed she is calmer and walks better on the lead especially when we pass other dogs. We can highly recommend Christian and Affinity Dog if you are looking for a Sydney or Hills dog trainer. Darren Dale2025-03-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Christian’s training is second to none. We took our 2 year old naughty groodle to Affinity. He was an adorable dog when we were home but left alone he was a terror - eating home furnishings, lounges, reading glasses. We were at the end of our tethers. After 11 days Frank (groodle) returned home with Christian a changed dog and more importantly Christian changed us. Frank is now a gold standard pooch, he is devoted, happy, adorable and well behaved. CHRISTIAN you really are the dog and human whisperer. If you put into practice what Christian teaches you - happy days await your family. Sharon Hallman2025-01-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you need assistance with your dog's behaviour/manners we highly recommend Christian @ Affinity Dog Training. Our lovable staffy cross pug lacked obedience and manners, and we lacked the knowledge to train him. Christian uses a positive training approach to build a strong bond between the owner and the dog. Following his methods and continuing the necessary regular training, we have a well-behaved, calm dog who will sit, drop, and walk without pulling the lead. All our dog requires in return is a generous pat and a 'good boy'. Thanks, Christian! Dayna Fischer2024-11-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you're looking to get help training your dog, whilst also understanding the bahaviours of your dog, Christian is a fantastic trainer. He's not only skilled at what he does, he's also an excellent communicator at explaining why dogs exhibit certain behaviours. The training has been immensely helpful, we've seen so much progress and positive results already. I only wish we'd done it sooner. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Vee Gordon2024-08-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Christian is such a knowledgeable trainer and takes the time to explain certain techniques and equipment to use and why. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to invest in their dog Kharishma DSouza2024-05-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Christian for training our dog. We are new dog owners to a 2 year old Sharpei Cross Terrier we bought from a shelter nearby. We had lots of behaviours such as pulling on the lead, fear and panic to people and dogs on walks, constant jumping, play biting and unable to stay by our side without pulling on clothing or nipping our ankles. We kept her in the backyard most of the time as she couldn't be controlled in the house. We recently completed the foundation course and we have seen our dog become a wonderful companion to us and our kids in just a few weeks. She walks well, can sit beside us and really has learnt to trust us. Her fears on walks have significantly reduced. She is now able to be a part of our family indoors and we have well behaved and happy dog. Christian is very experienced and shares his knowledge and breaks down the training techniques into simple steps that you can follow. I found him really easy to talk to and he is happy to answer questions. I found the whole experience really helpful and would highly recommend him. Olivia Campbell2024-04-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently completed private training sessions with Christian for our 1-year old staffordshire bull terrier. We were struggling a lot with our staffy pulling terribly on the lead, being overly excitable, not listening to us outside of the house and jumping up on us and other people. After trying other trainers with no success, we contacted Christian. Over the 6-weeks of private sessions, we have seen an amazing improvement in our staffy's behaviour - which we previously thought was not possible! He is now able to sit/drop/walk in high distraction areas, settle inside the house on his bed and is able to walk nicely on a loose leash. Christian is a fantastic teacher to both dog & owner, through demonstrating and supporting to achieve the desired outcome. Not only does he show the training technique, but explains the thought process behind the dogs actions which was very helpful in understanding what was going on and why. Christian provides a clear and concise training model which we will continue to adopt in our everyday life. I highly recommend Christian to any owner struggling with an undesirable behaviour, we now have the knowledge/training techniques to best handle our dog. It has had a very positive impact on our relationship with our dog as well! :) Baelal Shaukat2024-03-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best dog trainers and very kind people Cheryleen Maano2024-02-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Christian. He trained our 4 year old Pomeranian for 2 weeks and now he is able to sit, drop on command whilst walking. When cars drive by and families walk past him he no longer barks or spins. We can to take our dog now for walks peacefully which we are so happy about! Thank you for your amazing service Christian 10/10. Di Harb2023-09-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Christian is worth his weight in gold. My dog has just come home after the 10 day program and for anyone contemplating the program because they feel it's a lot of money, it is worth every cent and more! The difference in my boy is amazing and with some consistency from us I know my boy will continue to grow. We can't thank you enough Christian!
