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.

2014-Annie was banned from doggy daycare and refused to come when called. As a large 8 month old GSP she was headstrong, prey driven had zero food motivation. We were desperate and afraid she would run off and get lost or hurt. Cristina came to our home and taught us how to work with her on an e-collar and now 6 years later everyone we meet is so complimentary about her leash and off-leash behavior. I’ve recently recommended her to family and friends in the area and will 100% recommend to anyone that’s interested.

He had all the bad habits , my nightmare, him walking by side me without pulling me over and the worst , encountering another dog .
Now you should see it , he is calm , minds beautifully a pleasure to go on walks

We LOVED working with Cristina, she is so helpful, compassionate, and really cares about training dogs! Our Aussie Griffin has transformed into a completely different dog since attending Cristina’s 3 week board and train. I could not be happier with the transformation and the training Cristina is still continuing to help us with!

Cristina Hell trained our Australian Shepherd. She wouldn’t come when called and she was difficult on the leash. She got aggressive towards other dogs on the trail. After being at Fusion Dog Training Co., we can go on our daily walks mostly off leash! She comes right away when called, she sits and waits, she’s much better on the leash and learned how to handle her around other dogs....Cristina not only trained Bella, she trained me how to work with her! FDTC also has a wonderful 5 acre property to work with dogs and let them run and play together. I highly recommend Fusion Dog Training Co.!

We dropped our unobidient 6 month old German Shepherd off for 3 weeks with Cristina and picked up a transformed well behaved dog. Cristina did amazing things and my dog now attentively listens to me. I would highly recommend the 3 week board and train class, my dog learned all the basics plus many advanced commands like off leash heel and being a loyal porch dog even with other dogs walking by as distractions. Fusion Dog Training is awesome and highly recommended!
