C.T. Dog Services, Inc is a positive reinforcement dog training business based in north Louisiana, led by Cristi Theriot with 25 years of experience. They offer private obedience and behavior lessons designed to improve communication between owners and their dogs using rewards, markers, and lures—never fear-based corrections. The business also provides limited boarding with 15 indoor climate-controlled pens and a 60×60 indoor play area, where dogs receive individual attention, daily yard time, and optional training during their stay. Boarding includes toys, tunnels, sniffing games, and daily photo updates. Training is customized to each dog’s needs and goals, with a focus on puppies (12 weeks and up) but open to all ages. Cristi is a certified professional trainer with extensive competition experience in obedience, agility, barn hunting, and conformation, and she breeds and trains Weimaraners through her kennel Rhythm N Blues Weimaraners.

All training and boarding services require proof of up-to-date vaccines. The facility is a private working farm, and appointments are required for visits. Clients appreciate Cristi’s personalized approach, responsiveness, and the loving care her dogs receive, with many returning for years.

Additional services include board-and-train programs, where training is integrated into boarding, and specialized activities like barn hunting and nosework.

C.T. Dog Services promotes fun, ethical, and effective training that builds strong human-dog bonds.
