With over 25 years of hands-on experience and a passion shaped by her own challenging (and lovable!) pack, Cristina blends compassion, real-world expertise, and a full toolbox of training methods to help dogs of all kinds thrive. Based in Monument, Colorado, she’s dedicated to transforming chaos into calm and guiding both pups and people through the rewarding journey of training.
We believe in using a balanced training approach tailored to each dog, not one-size-fits-all methods. Every dog is different, and we embrace the tools and techniques that best support their success.
We train for the real world. Our goal is to help dogs and owners navigate everyday life with confidence, calm, and joy, at home, in public, and on adventures.

Fusion is amazing! We recently put our 7 month old Siberian Husky through the 3-week board and train program. We have a typical Husky puppy...he was pulling on a leash, counter surfing, jumping on people and other dogs, lack of recall etc. In addition, after trying another trainer prior to Fusion, we began to have problems with the crate and he would no longer stay in without having major anxiety...to the point of us not leaving him alone, ever. Cristina spent so much time with me, exchanging emails and talking about our situation. We dropped off our crazy pup and picked up a new improved version of him! His personality shines through all of the skills he learned. I can basically walk my Husky holding the leash with my finger 99% of the time. No pulling, he can pass by other dogs without breaking heel, and he no longer jumps on people when greeting. He will calmly wait in his crate to be freed. What he has learned and what we have learned, has made our family life with our boy so much more enjoyable. He is able to enjoy time off-leash and we can’t wait to snowshoe with him this winter so he can enjoy his element even more. The process was awesome. Cristina kept us updated on his progress with pictures and video and the continued support after bringing him home has been wonderful and incredibly helpful. I highly recommend Fusion. In the future, we would not waste our money or time by going with any other dog training. Fusion is where it’s at!

We have our pups enrolled in the 3 week board and train program. I was very hesitant because I had hired another trainer and after a few sessions, I realized that it was not a good fit for us and was out quite a bit of money. I spoke with Cristina and she answered all of my questions and after meeting with her in person, there was no doubt that we found the perfect match. She trains out of her home and its very clean and includes a huge amount of beautiful land which includes a stream that the dogs get to enjoy! She sends us regular updates on their training and what we have seen so far has blown our minds. We look forward to enjoying well mannered dogs and being able to go back anytime for a refresher if needed!

Will never own another dog without Christina's training package! Our dog, Libby came home a completely different dog and we actually ENJOY walking her now! Our kiddos can now walk our dog off leash in a heel past barking dogs and bunnies and she doesn't flinch. Worth every penny!

Fusion Dog Training Co. has been the best dog and handler training we could have ever asked for. Cristina goes the extra mile to ensure that each dog is individually catered to based on the dog, the handler & family, and the environmental conditions affecting the dynamic between the handler and the dog.
We've had all types of dogs, a Yellow Labrador who was anxious and fearful, an Italian Mastiff who was dog aggressive and possessive over toys and food, a Belgian Malinois who is defensive when he is unable to create his own space with other dogs, and a German Shorthair Pointer who pushes her off leash boundaries.
Cristina has worked wonders for all of them and she never rests in finding out what the root of the problem is. If she doesn't have an answer she will relentlessly study and work to figure out the answer and is not afraid to reach out to other trainers, veterinarians, or experts on possible solutions.
You will not regret choosing Cristina and Fusion Dog Training Co. to assist you in creating and building a healthy bond between your family and your dog. You are not alone, there are many people who need the same assistance. Just give Cristina a chance to change your world and your dogs world for the better!

We enrolled our twins in the puppy sessions. It is great having dogs that can go everywhere with us AND constantly get compliments on how well they are trained! My favorite part is watching my young kids walk large dogs on a leash with confidence!
