Christie is absolutely amazing. We had a very aggressive dog that was aggressive towards other dogs. It became an OVERWHELMING issue and we couldn't handle it anymore. We had been looking and asking many people for different options and came across Christie. We had already been through training at another place and it worked for a little bit but wasn't a noticeable change. Christie was our last option- we ended up doing the board and train for 30 days. Hardest part was leaving my dog for 30 days! After the 30 days we went to pick up our dog- Winston. To say he was a different dog was an understatement. The amount of changes in the short time she had him was AMAZING. We now have a dog that we are still working with but we can actually take him on a walk without him wanting to attack other dogs. He ignores them and only focuses on us. I couldn't recommend her enough and I am excited for the future classes that we are taking with both of our dogs. Thank you!

My experience with K9 Mastery has completed changed my relationship with my dog for the better. I had recently adopted Peter when he started developing serious resource guarding issues and reactivity to other dogs that I had never dealt with before, and I was recommended to K9 Mastery. From the start, Christie was responsive, thorough, and confident that we could work through Peter's behavioral issues. We have now completed both the basic obedience course, and are most of the way through the intermediate. Peter no longer resource guards (and if he ever does I know how to get it under control), and he can socialize well with other dogs. He also knows all the basic commands (sit, down, stay, heel, come), and can safely go on long off leash walks (sits, stays, recalls from afar). In the time we have been working with Christie, I have learned a ton about communicating with my dog in a way that he understands to be a good owner, as well as how to approach any new issues that makes come up. Properly training your dog is HARD WORK and truly takes commitment, but the reward is incredible. Throughout training, Peter has had moments of great progress, and some moments of backsliding, but Christie was always a phone call or email away to brainstorm and figure out how to handle anything. I have always felt supported through the process, and confident in any approach we are taking. I would take any dog to K9 Mastery for training - Christie has a very special way with the dogs and really understands and wants the best for everyone. This training program is not for someone who wants to casually train their dog or teach them to do tricks. Signing up to train with K9 Mastery means you are committing to yourself and your dog. It's going to take a lot of time and work, but the results are so very worth it.
