Our Approach

IT’S NOT THE DOG… IT’S YOU!

 
 

Training from D.E.P.O.V. (Dog’s Eye Point of View)

At It’s Not the Dog, It’s You! (INTDIY), we believe in an honest, no-nonsense approach to help you and your dog succeed. If you’re not ready to take a hard look in the proverbial mirror and recognize how your actions as a dog owner may have unintentionally created or reinforced your dog’s unwanted behaviors, then we might not be the right fit for you. Change starts with understanding your role in shaping your dog’s behavior and being willing to make adjustments—something we’re here to guide you through.

Chris Fraize, owner and head trainer of INTDIY, combines decades of expertise with humor to create a fun and engaging learning environment. A former stand-up comedian, Chris knows that laughter helps ease nerves and opens minds, turning frustration and embarrassment into confidence and success. Whether your dog is pulling on the leash, barking excessively, or exhibiting severe aggression, Chris will help you transform your relationship and create the well-mannered, happy dog you’ve always wanted.

Every client starts with a video consultation, ensuring a customized training plan tailored to you and your dog’s specific needs. Our solutions address a wide range of challenges, from fearfulness and reactivity to boundary setting and advanced training goals. Whether it’s improving inter-species communication, solving behavior problems, or teaching new skills, we focus on the root causes to provide lasting results.

Training isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about building a deeper understanding of canine behavior and fostering a lifelong bond with your dog. Let us help you and your dog achieve trust, clarity, and respect. Together, there’s no challenge too big—or too small—that we can’t tackle.
