Christine helped us train our dog, Cooper, starting when he was 4.5 months old. We got the Happy Puppy Package (3 sessions) which helped lay an excellent foundation for Cooper from a young age. With Christine’s guidance, we were able to teach Cooper how to follow basic commands (like sit, wait, go to his place) and some more challenging commands (drop it, come). He's still not perfect with those more challenging commands, but he's progressing nicely! It takes a lot of work from the owner(s) to practice and train in between sessions, but Christine is always available for Qs and follow-ups. We appreciated that she proactively reached out on several occasions to check in on Cooper's progress and to see if we had follow-up Qs.Getting 1:1 time with an expert trainer to customize lessons to our dog and specific circumstance/environment was invaluable, particularly as we had a baby on the way. Cooper has been a wonderful big sib to our newborn and we credit a lot of that to a solid training foundation which started with Christine! Thankful we made the choice to get the puppy package and that Christine was our trainer.

Christine is so knowledgeable which is obviously great, but also so friendly and lovely to work with! She has become our most trusted resource and a friend. She truly cares about our pups, regularly texting just to see how they are doing. We have recommended Christine to friends and strangers! 5+++ stars!

Working with Christine was such a positive & helpful experience! We needed help with our newly adopted fur baby and Christine really spent the time to explain her training methods. She is extremely patient and non-judgmental - I have past experience with trainers who were of the opinion that there is only one way to train. Christine was extremely flexible and kind and would recommend her to anyone needing her expertise! Thank you Christine 😀

We had a great experience with Christine! She was easy to schedule with and spent some time with me on the phone prior to the appointment to learn more about our situation. She really helped us understand why our dog was acting the way he was and gave us a lot of tips to help break him of his bad habits. Highly recommend!

Christine is a true dog-whisperer! Christine helped me with my very anxious dog (who was frequently barking at me!). She assessed what was happening with my pup and gave me doable, concrete strategies to try. She was super accessible between sessions, and checked in every few weeks to see how things were going. Christine's advice was so effective that we are now on our own, but I would call her again in a heartbeat if other issues pop up. 100% recommend!!

Our sessions with Christine were just what our family needed to assist us in being more thoughtful in helping our dog. We were given practical techniques to help build his confidence and provide the mental stimulation that he needs. Christine’s expertise in understanding the minds of dogs have helped us tremendously in keeping everyone in the family safe. We are so grateful for our time with her and highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of her services.

Christine is a fantastic trainer who was so patient with our very reactive and protective pup. She gave us great advice and context to better understand our interactions, including tasks we are able to work on in our own time. She continues to be a great resource for us and highly recommend her to anyone looking for training.

The best investment we made in our puppy was to work with Christine! She taught us to be good pet parents to our energetic little puppy. He learned so quickly to potty outside, sleep in his crate, ride in the car, walk on a leash, when we used the techniques she taught us. Thank you Christine!

Christine is very involved with making sure there has been progress and checks in every now and then. Mallie was only a couple months old when we called for help and was already listening way better. My family and I learned a lot of new things that we didn’t know at the time about dogs and it has helped us so much. Would recommend for anyone needed some good training!

Christine is wonderful! Very understanding, knowledgeable, and helpful with our nervous rescue.

Christine helped us train our puppy Teddy. As new dog owners it’s hard to know how to navigate with a new puppy but Christine was super helpful. She was patient and helped answer all of our questions. She was also very quick to respond whenever I sent her messages to ask questions. Christine helped work around our schedule and was incredibly flexible when we were scheduling our training sessions. She would also continue to follow up to know how Teddy was doing while providing insight. Overall she’s a fantastic person and trainer!

Christine was great! She really took the time to help our dog Cooper with some issues going on with him. She knew her stuff and was patient with us and our 5 year old daughter who was in the room too. She was great with her and got her involved also with the training. Cooper is doing better. I highly recommend Christine. I would have her back any time.

From the moment we called FernDog Training, Fern understood our situation and difficulties with our new pup. He connected us with Christine, who is terrific! They both worked with us to devise the best plan to address our needs. We only needed one session with Christine, but we got such valuable information. Quickly we noticed such a positive change in our pup implementing what we learned! Also, Christine has continued to check in with us and is always willing to offer her advice and help. FernDog Training and Christine are fantastic, and I highly recommend them for any training needs!

Christine is an exceptional dog trainer! She helped me tremendously with my puppy during a private session in my home. She was patient, kind, and went above and beyond. I would not hesitate to reach out to her for more help in the future!

2022-09-25T18:57:32.040Z

Christine is great! She gave me everything I needed to train my pup. She has a very friendly personality and addressed all my questions and concerns. My pup loved her just as much!

Christine was absolutely amazing to work with, she has so much knowledge and cares deeply about helping your pup! She gave us so many great tips for our westie, Fitz, and has always checked in since our session. I would highly recommend working with Christine, we are incredibly thankful for her training knowledge and her kindness!

Christine is a great trainer who seems to have a true way with animals. Only did 1 session so far but looking forward to doing more in the future. I learned a ton

Working with Christine was an absolute pleasure for us! When I was expecting my first baby, we worked with Christine to help our dog prepare for baby’s arrival. What we learned helped our dog to feel more confident and boosted our confidence as well! We still use the guidance, tips and tricks Christine taught us daily. On top of a great experience while training together, Christine has stayed in touch and still offers her knowledge to help us as much as she can. We were so lucky to cross paths with Christine. She truly cares about our dog, which is all you can ask for!
