Chris Gutierrez is the Head Trainer for Elevated Canine DFW and a professional dog trainer based just outside of Fort Worth, Texas, proudly serving the entire DFW Metroplex and surrounding areas. With extensive experience in basic and advanced obedience, behavior modification, sport and personal protection training, Chris offers a comprehensive and results-driven approach to helping dogs and their owners succeed.

Since beginning his training career in November 2013, Chris has been committed to helping owners build strong communication, mutual trust, and lasting bonds with their dogs. He’s passionate about creating those breakthrough “light bulb moments” when both owner and dog finally connect — whether it’s a family pet overcoming behavioral challenges, a new puppy starting fresh, or a sport dog refining its precision.

As Head Trainer, Chris leads Elevated Canine DFW with a focus on clear guidance, practical tools, and customized training programs tailored to each dog-and-owner team. His mission is to make the learning process engaging, effective, and rewarding for both ends of the leash.

If you’re looking for help with your dog — whether you need behavior solutions or want to start a new companion off right — Elevated Canine DFW is here to support you.
