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.

We had an amazing experience with Christine! Our dog Ranger was having some issues with obedience when we took him there for his 2 week training, and when we picked him up he was a different dog. She taught us how to work with him and teach him when we took him home. Even after we got home she still comes over and will check on us to see how we are doing. Ranger is flourishing to this day and is the best dog ever! I recommend Christine to everyone who needs a great professional dog trainer!

We sent our rescue Finale to Fusion Under Christina’s care. I am writing my review two months after Finale’s two week training. Bottom line…outstanding leadership under Christina, a tight ship where dogs are protected and cared for and learn. She taught us and keeps teaching us. The investment Fusion training was worth every penny. The entire staff works like a machine, dogs are safe and learn and especially socialization skills. We have also boarded Alle with Fusion and it is a refresher course when she goes. Boarding rates beyond reasonable. The training we have had as owners is the trick. Christina’s knowledge of this industry is incredible. Smart, knows her stuff, and a true community leader. If you have a dog - don’t hesitate to sign the dog up and find the love you knew was always under there all along. Thanks to Fusion.

We had a great experience! Our 7 month shepherd mix rescue came back a changed girl. She went in as a overreactive nut case and came out obedient and willing to listen. Highly recommend!

We recently adopted a Blackmouth Cur pup fom a rescue in South Texas. Little did we know that a 6 month old puppy could have already developed such a stubborn streak. Christina was recommended by the vet and we were quick to call. We were unable to take advantage of the board and train option as Oscar was not crate trained. Christina was kind enough to come to the house to meet our stubborn guy. Her handling of Oscar was something to see and after just a few minutes, he was behaving in a way that we had not been able to accomplish in 4 weeks. A subsequent follow up visit was all it took to make Oscar a perfect gentleman. I can not say enough good things about Christina's manner with our pup. She is truly Monument's Dog Whisperer.
