Master the Relationship with your Dog!
Do You Relate?
My dog won't come when I call him...
My dog jumps up on everyone...
My dog is aggressive to other dogs...
My dog pulls me on his leash…
My dog charges the door to greet my guests...
My dog barks incessantly at everything...
Hi, I'm Chris Onthank, and I can help.
As a Canine Master I'm a widely known expert in canine behavior. My mission is to inform, educate and encourage all dog owners to live harmoniously with their beloved family companions. After years of working with and studying dogs, I've developed a highly successful two-pronged approach to dog training. The Canine Master Method combines a dog’s natural instincts and drives with a positive motivational approach to learning. If we learn how to think like a dog, feel like a dog and talk like a dog, training them becomes easier and much more effective.
I'm here to help. Communication and trust are the cornerstones of all relationships. I understand the relationship between you and your dog is critical. It’s my goal to see that both of you live a long and happy life together. Let's get started.

Success Story
I just wanted to say how wonderful I think you are. Just three short days ago I started listening to your podcast. In that time, while implementing your tips and tricks, our dogs have improved immensely!!! I felt compelled to send you a thank you because of how amazing the transformation has been. For reference, my boyfriend and I have two lab mixes (ages 4 and 2). Our goals were to have less reactivity while walking them, decrease anxiety when we're out of the house (thereby decreasing messes), and get their butts off the couch (I miss them, but I would like a nice couch in the future). Anyhow, thanks again. Keep up the podcast because you're hilarious and your knowledge is so helpful.
