Hi-Point Kennels is located 20 minutes from Akron/Canton Airport in Alliance, Ohio. Situated on 20 acres of land and surrounded by farm country makes this a perfect place to train dogs. The kennel includes 32 dog runs that are cleaned and sanitized regularly, and a 6 horse stall barn with pastures to accommodate the Tennessee Walking horses that are used for field trials, and also are trained, bought and sold here.

About the Trainer
Chris Goegan attended Mount Union College with a major in developmental psychology while working at Sea World in Aurora, Ohio. Training killer whales, sea lions, walruses, dolphins and river otters helped Chris developed his style and first love of dog training. "At Sea World, we basically applied child psychology, or developmental psychology, to animals to modify their behavior. We used behavior modification based upon positive reinforcement. The key to training involves placement and timing of reinforcements. In dogs, it is like taking a snapshot of desired behavior and applying reinforcement at the exact moment," he says. As the number of dogs and clients grew Chris chose to leave Sea World after 11 years and devote himself fully to dog training and has never looked back. Repeatedly attaining the highest achievement titles possible in the field trial world, Chris is a veteran dog trainer with a well established clientele.
