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.

5/5Cody did a two week board and train with Christina earlier this year when he 6.5 months old. As Christina stated when we picked him up, “Cody is a lot of dog”. He is very sweet but he was WILD.

Cody did a two week board and train with Christina earlier this year when he 6.5 months old. As Christina stated when we picked him up, “Cody is a lot of dog”. He is very sweet but he was WILD. Group classes went nowhere. We couldn’t walk him or take him anywhere, and he was a cute puppy with every bad behavior. When we picked him up from his two week training we were stunned… who is this dog? Christina is honestly a miracle worker. Cody is now over a year old and continues to be an awesome family dog (with keeping up with his training of course). Cannot recommend Christina highly enough!

After a two week board and train my dog was completely reformed. His walks could be done by a 7 year old that weighed less than him with just a slight tug on the leash to correct direction. His house manners also drastically improved. I eventually boarded him as well and he was super excited to see Cristina again and be there so obviously she treats the dogs great (I could tell that when I dropped him off and when I picked him up the first time and he didn't want to leave). Super clean area and sends updates throughout the stay, and lots of field trips which is awesome. Highly recommend, and will be to anyone needing training in the future.

My husband and I highly recommend Fusion Dog Training! Christina is a very knowledgeable, professional and kind dog trainer. Her methods can help change life for you and your pets for the better. Our dogs, while sweet, were often misbehaving and ignoring us and everyone was frustrated until we brought them to Christina. We felt her training was very thorough and we know that we can contact her at any time to brush up on our and our dogs skills. We are especially grateful with her help because our cattle dog was very difficult to train. Now we have the tools to work with our dogs, and any future dogs we get in the future. It’s an investment in yourself and your pets!!

Cristina completely overhauled my GSD. I was so far removed from having a new puppy in the house, and doing everything incorrectly and getting frustrated. My sweet girl went from a sweet free spirited velociraptor destroying everything and not listening to a German Shepherd who became obsessed with training and learning.
My only regret is not getting to Fusion Dog Training sooner.

LIFE-CHANGING! We struggled with two difficult rescues. We did Fusion's 8-session Off-Leash program for our Great Dane, and a 2-week board-and-train for our Rhodesian/Beagle mix. After training with Cristina, our household stress dropped immediately. Barking stopped, leash pulling stopped, and a whole new type of fun interaction with our pups was unlocked. We've been rescuing dogs for more than 20 years -- I only wish we had this level of knowledge when we started. Cristina is patient, knowledgeable, an incredible communicator, and dedicated to both her customers and their dogs. Our dogs are now the envy of the neighborhood. Cristina's training is truly worth every penny!
