Testimonials
I highly recommend Christa! I had a standard poodle that was very reactive on leash… After private training lessons with Christa, there is nothing that I look forward to more each day than taking my pup on a walk. We even have had the opportunity for a few off leash activities. I couldn’t thank Christa more for the freedom and the opportunity for adventures that she has now given me and my pup.
– LIZ OVIATT
We completed a 4 week board and train with Christa and felt it was worth every penny. Our 1.5 year old cavapoo is now able to come so many more places with us, spend time safely off leash, and has way more freedom in the house because he is no longer destructive and getting into trouble. He is generally more calm and confident interacting with other dogs and humans. Christa did a great job instructing the humans how to maintain the training. It is evident that Christa is very passionate about what she does and absolutely loves all the dogs she trains! We would highly recommend her!
– CLIENT
You will not find anyone better than Christa to help with your dog. Our Bernese Mountain Dog, Finn, was biting, jumping, chewing baseboards — completely tearing our house (and sanity) apart. We tried multiple other trainers with no success and were starting to feel hopeless. Then we found Christa. She took Finn for a 4-week board and train and completely changed our lives… Finn isn’t just more obedient — he’s genuinely happier. Christa didn’t just train our dog, she gave us our life back.
