Training Your Best Friend LLC

Can't say enough good things about Training Your Best Friend. First off, Christie welcomes all breeds. Her training consists of in classroom classes but she also offers classes, like public manners which is held outside in real life situations. I have a pitbull that adapted to inside classes and did great but when I would take her out and about, she acted totally different. After taking classes with Christie, I can now take my pit bull out in public and she behaves beautifully! I have another pitbull that Christie has worked with as well, he was a little more stubborn and was horrible with pulling on walks. After working with Christie, he now walks by my side. Christie uses positive reinforcement in training which allows the dog to learn in a fun way and it helps build a strong relationship with the dog and the owner. Christie also makes training fun and interesting for the owner too. My dogs love her! Christie trains all types of behaviors too , she helps them all!

Christie Fernandez/Training your Best Friend is an awesome training program if you want to strengthen your relationship with your dog, and teach your dog how to follow your commands and learn good manners. Christie is passionate about animals and has a wealth of knowledge. She teaches not the dogs but the dog owners how to train their dogs and how to take charge. In other words, we learn how to properly walk our dogs vs letting our dogs walk us! The commands she teaches are very simple, logical and effective. My dog Lily and I took a Basic Obedience class as well as an Obstacle Course class which was really fun. At the beginning of the obstacle course class, Lily refused to go into the big tube because she was scared. Christie got down on the ground which was a concrete parking lot and crawled into the tube herself to encourage Lily to go in. By the end of the 7 weeks Lily was running through the tube and jumping over high hurdles like a champ! That never would have happened without Christie's help. I also had a difficult time with getting Lily to cooperate with loose leash walking. She would pull. Christie taught us how to master that so now we can enjoy our walks without pulling. I highly recommend Christie and Training your Best Friend. Your dog will love you more for the focused time you'll spend training him or her, and this greatly strengthens the bond with your dog.
