Training doesn’t start in a classroom.
It starts the moment your dog enters your life.
Every walk, every game, every moment you spend together teaches your dog something. Those daily interactions shape not only their behavior, but also the relationship you build with them.
The great thing about dogs is that they’re always ready to learn. Whether your dog is a tiny puppy or a seasoned sidekick, it’s never too early or too late to start training.
My job is to help you avoid common mistakes, prevent unwanted behaviors from becoming habits, and show you how to build a relationship with your dog based on trust, communication, and respect.
Before You Get Your Dog Info Session
Not sure what to have ready before your new dog or puppy comes home? You're not alone! From choosing the right crate size to picking the perfect leash, harness, and car setup — there's a lot to think about. I'll walk you through everything you need so you can skip the guesswork and focus on the fun part: welcoming your new best friend!
Customized Private Session
Whether you've just welcomed a new puppy or adult dog into your home — or you've simply hit your limit with a frustrating behavior — this is the session for you. We'll tackle whatever you need most: nipping, chewing, housebreaking, jumping, door greetings, fear, anxiety, resource guarding, aggression, and more. Every session is built around your dog's specific needs, so when you fill out your registration, the more detail you share about your goals, the better!

Puppy Kindergarten Course
Puppies don't grow out of unwanted behaviors — they grow into them!
Give your pup the best possible start with four information-packed sessions designed to set you both up for success. Your first session (75 minutes) is fully customized to tackle your puppy's most pressing needs — and can be done virtually or in person, whatever works best for you.
In the remaining three sessions, you and your puppy will build foundational obedience skills, set clear behavior expectations, and get prepared for the road ahead — including those fun teenage months! 🐾
Skills covered: housebreaking, crate training, nipping, chewing, sit, down, stay, leave it, and more.
For puppies 8–15 weeks old at the start of the first session.
Behavior & Life Skills Package
Every dog deserves a solid foundation — and so does every owner!
Your first session (75 minutes) kicks things off with a quick review of your goals before we dive in. As always, it can be done virtually or in person, whatever suits you best.
In the remaining three sessions (55 minutes each), you'll build the obedience skills every dog should know, navigate the teenage phase with confidence, and help your dog develop better manners with the people they share their life with.
Behavior Skills covered: Jumping, Counter Surfing, Barking, Digging, Crate Training & more.
Obedience Skills Covered: Sit, Down, Come, Leash Walking, Leave-it, & Stay
For dogs 16 weeks and older.
“Working with Christy took all the stress out of those first few months! From training, sleep tricks and everything in between. We could not be more grateful for her professionalism and wisdom!”
