INSTRUCTOR:  Chris Onthank, Owner and Founder of Dog Gone Smart in Norwalk, CT.  Chris has been working with animals for over 25 years and has developed a unique training theory that combines instinct with learning.  He is a noted canine behavioral specialist that works with dogs and their humans.  Chris’ personal daily practice involves helping dogs with special issues i.e. aggression, separation anxiety, fear, disabilities and training problems.  He has helped thousands of dogs in his career.  His outgoing personality and fun approach to learning have made him one of the most popular trainers in Fairfield County.  His clients (both human and canine) are highly motivated to work and thoroughly enjoy their learning experience.
