Happy Pets Training

Christine helped us with a high degree of professionalism and personal touch. She was so easy to work with and knows her stuff! I have a corgi (Franklin) who was nipping my boyfriends small kids and couldn't seem to be in the same room. He's a herding dog and it's his natural instinct to herd small moving things, but it caused us a lot of anxiety and fear for my beloved pup of 8 years and the kiddos. We followed Christine's directions to a tee. Less than 3-4 months into it and the kids were responding better and so was Franklin. THANK YOU for your excellent service and personalized help. I would recommend her to anyone.

I found Christine by doing a web search with Google. We talked on the phone a bit and then set up an appoint a month or two later because of my scheduling problems. She spent two hours at my house and made dramatic positive changes in our 8 month old Boston Terrier through teaching my dog, teaching us and providing invaluable written tools to follow up with. What a game changer her visit was! I think of her every time I walk my dog how a few simple tips changed a tug of war into a loose leash. Amazing! She provides a high value for every minute of the appointment! I can’t recommend Christine enough.

Christine was patient and caring with not only with our two dogs but also with us. Our dogs are basically our children, so we had a ton of questions, and Christine was the single most knowledgeable dog trainer I have ever met. We brought a puppy home for our seven year old Boston who had lost his pack mate and seemed like he wanted another dog around the house. Unfortunately, we misread him, and he wanted nothing to do with the new beagle pup. We reached out to Christine, and she helped us through a really stressful 4 months. She taught us positive ways to get our Boston to start seeing the puppy as a friend and not a threat, but they had to live on opposites sides of several baby gates for months. Christine listened every time I panicked even when I thought they would never coexist. She also introduced us to Animal Friends, and our beagle puppy loves their classes and has recently passed her first level of nose work. She insisted we socialize our beagle immediately, and it has made a big difference on how she interacts with other dogs. We don’t have to worry about taking her anywhere because she can adapt to any situation. Personally, I think Christine has become more than a trainer for our dogs. She feels like a friend and someone I can reach out to at any time. I cannot say enough about what she has done for us.

Christine is a great friend to animals--and to the people who love them. We hired Christine to help us get through the early puppy days. She responded right away to my email, asked great questions, provided us with lots to read and think about, and showed us how to interact with our puppy so that we would all be happiest. Once our dog and we knew our basic tricks and manners, we couldn't let go of Christine, so she still comes to hang out with our dog once a week! He goes absolutely crazy when he sees her, and the two of them spend a couple of happy hours learning tricks, doing puzzles, running around and playing. Christine is gentle and wise. Her best advice--never let anyone hurt your dog. We all love her.
