​My name is Chris Durrant, CPDT-KA. I am a Professional, Certificated Dog Trainer. I specialize in fear and reactivity in dogs. I truly enjoy solving companion dog behaviors and teaching people how to do so. I love and understand dogs on a deep level - how they learn and think, what makes them happy and attentive and what causes them to act out. Whether your dog pulls on leash, chews up the furniture, barks at other dogs or is fearful of things, I can help. My training techniques are designed to be fun, build confidence (for you and your dog), and change behaviors quickly and effectively. I take pride in offering force-free, scientifically proven methods. ​

Hi, I’m Nikita, a certified dog trainer and founder of Furry Friends Dog Training in San Francisco. I offer private, positive reinforcement-based training tailored to each dog’s needs, whether it’s basic manners, leash walking, or behavior support. I’m DTIA-certified through SF Puppy Prep and focus on building trust, skills, and a strong human-canine bond. ✨ I offer a free 30-minute Zoom consultation—learn more at furryfriendsdog.com.

I am passionate about helping people bring out the best in their dogs, and build better relationships through positive reinforcement training.

I specialize in using reward-based techniques to help families with dogs that are considered difficult, whether it is dog-dog aggression, resource guarding, aggression towards humans, reactivity to objects, noises, fearful/shutdown dogs. I also work with dogs that have had a bite history. In addition, I have a SmartPuppy Program that helps you grow puppies into smart, confident dogs and prevent many issues rather than fix them later. I use games, toys and food to train with fun and kindness.
