Christina helped us with a pure bred Silky Terrier. It had many issues due to so much inbreeding. His behavior was so off the wall the Vets wanted to get him on Prozac. The boarding place banned us from bringing him back as he would bark constantly at everyone and everything. He would try to bite everyone and everything as well. Christina came in with all of her patience and dedication and helped us to learn how to manage and train Harley. We tried other boarding places and never had a problem after training! Harley is now 13 years old and we would not have been able to keep him had she not been so committed to us and our Pupper. (Our children were very small at the time and we were afraid for their safety). We know added another puppy to the family and are contacting her so she can help with the transition process as our other dogs are 13, and 7 years old. As soon as I saw a problem with the transition I knew exactly where to turn. Thank you Christina for your commitment to families and their puppers! I definitely recommend Christina!

I spent a lot of time researching dog trainers and training schools in New York before settling on Christina, and I know I made the right choice. My newly adopted rescue dog Juniper was having trouble adjusting to the city. He was extremely leash-aggressive--he barked and lunged at other dogs, garbage trucks, and any other loud sounds. Additionally, we had an issue with my neighbor across the hall, whose dog had attacked Juniper soon after we arrived. Just trying to get Juniper out the door for a walk was difficult, as the smell of the other dog made him snarl, bark, growl as we tried to walk past it. Worst of all, Juniper's anxiety, along with possible issues from his past, meant that he was often lashing out at me, snapping and growling if I approached him the wrong way. Today we went for a 90 minute walk in Central Park. Since it was warm and sunny for February, the park was crowded with people, bikes and dogs. Juniper did not bark or lunge once the entire time, and even was able to interact a few times with other dogs. Narrow pathways where we couldn't avoid some dogs weren't a problem, because now, thanks to Christina, I have a plan to help deal with Juniper's anxiety around other dogs in tight spaces. He is no longer nervous about being touched, so we stopped to have some cuddle breaks. A woman passing by called Juniper a "good little dog." Christina taught me how to understand Juniper's body language, how to deal with difficult situations around other dogs, and even how to make my apartment a place where he can feel safer and more secure. We worked out a method that allows us to walk quietly past my neighbor's apartment without setting off her dog. I really appreciate Christina's time and patience with both Juniper and me. It wasn't always easy, but I feel like we are on a path towards success, and that life will get better and better for Juniper. I highly recommend working with Christina!

Christina is a gifted behaviorist. She is highly skilled at understanding and interpreting dog behavior and designing personalized and creative solutions for canine behavioral issues that often cause dog owners to give up on their animals. Christina worked patiently and persistently with me and my family to help us understand the source of our dog's biting (pain, leading him to respond in aggression) and to circumvent triggers that traditionally would cause the dog anxiety and frustration. She is a natural teacher to pet parents, making sure her clients understand their dog's behaviors and how pet parents often unknowingly reinforce negative habits in their pets. We are deeply grateful for the compassionate care and wisdom she so generously shared with us and the lessons we learned. The only one more grateful is our Percy!

Christina is just wonderful.  After moving to nyc my dog Dakota became terrified of being left alone, even if I was just throwing out the garbage. It was horrible and heartbreaking  - she would be in a panic shaking and crying even if I was gone just a couple of minutes. Worse, when I left for work she would go to the bathroom though at 5 she was totally housebroken, left scratches on the door and I found out by getting 2 complaints from neighbors and a warning from my new landlord that she also howled for hours. I was panicked myself as I couldn't afford to move and had no idea how I was going to manage with her. I was under an extreme amount of pressure, was a hostage in my own apartment and on the verge of eviction.  Thank god a friend found Christina! From the first meeting she came up with a solution to calm my neighbors and landlord, calm Dakota (and me!) and a program to treat her separation anxiety. It took some time but I am actually able to leave her alone now happily playing with her puzzle toys and without me feeling guilty! We are so much happier and I honestly don't know what we would have done without Christina - there is help for separation anxiety! Dakota & I couldn't recommend her more.

As dog owner, we really love to spend our time with NY Clever Inc. We are harvesting newest techniques living with our dog in and outside of home. We are so amazed how NY Clever staff Levi widen his learning stuff just to bring my dog for his training. My dog learned too much from them, his like just a friend of mine that wherever I go his with him. Sitting, eating & even walking the city streets. It is fun for me to be with my dog. I highly recommend Levi, a skilled trainer. He trained my dog with eagerly attitude.
