Testimonials
“Because I feel like I can LOVE my puppy again! Thank you!”
-Vanessa Davila-Iverson
“Christie has trained my dog Chief and has taught us plenty of tricks to keep Chief listening and behaving. Christie is a great person and I would recommend her services without hesitation!”
-Robert Workman
“Christie is a miracle worker! My nephew was in a very bad car accident… Ari was trained to be tame, gentle, to listen on command, and even taught how to open the door for my nephew. Christie did such a wonderful job that I personally had gotten a couple more pups for her to train as well.”
-Barbara Mendoza
About the Trainer
The Canine Professor, led by Christie Mault, is a dog training business that helps dog owners improve their dogs’ behavior through personalized, communication-based training. Christie focuses on understanding the dog’s unique wiring and creating mental balance before physical training, emphasizing trust, understanding, and human education over commands. She offers virtual dog training as a fully supported 3-month program with recorded sessions and lifetime access to materials, helping clients address issues like reactivity, fearfulness, leash pulling, and separation anxiety. Christie also specializes in training service dogs and therapy dogs, with proven success helping dogs with severe behavioral trauma. Her approach teaches owners how to “speak dog” and correct behavior by understanding its root causes, not just managing symptoms. She supports clients across the entire United States via virtual sessions and has helped dog owners with puppies, adolescents, adults, and seniors, including large, aggressive, or fearful dogs.
Christie continues her education through seminars and conferences, and her clients frequently credit her with transforming their relationships with their dogs—often describing her as a “miracle worker” who saves dogs’ lives and restores joy to households. While the website mentions service dog and therapy dog programs, no in-person facilities, boarding, grooming, or walking services are explicitly offered.
The business does not offer group classes, in-home visits, or facility-based training; all services are delivered virtually or through customized one-on-one virtual coaching.
