🌟Sept 24 Free Training

Hi Fellow Dog Lover,

In a world built on quick fixes and shortcuts, the dog training world is no different.

We see it everywhere—in how programs are advertised, the promises made, and the unrealistic timelines set:
🐕 “Fix your dog’s reactivity in 10 days!”
🐕 “One session and your leash pulling is gone!”
🐕 “This harness, collar, or gadget will give you control instantly.”

It all sounds tempting, especially when you’re struggling. But these are just band-aids on something that needs care, patience, and a well thought out, dynamic training plan.

The truth is: no one can put a timeframe on how fast another being learns and changes emotional responses.

I know this struggle personally—I’ve had times where I wanted progress yesterday. But pushing too hard, too fast, only left me (and my dogs) burned out.

When we slow down and really think about our training plan, understanding all of the 'why's, we open the door to real, lasting change.

​

Don't forget to sign up for my free training on September 24.

Warmly,

– Christina

This sweet little face belongs to Abbey. Abbey has been gone for a few years now, lost to one of those diseases that eventually claims the lives of old dogs. Abbey had a great family - two humans who loved her dearly and who gave her an amazing life. One of those humans became a trusted and treasured friend. Back when I was one of Abbey's trainers, I didn't know a lot about dogs like her - those who would bite to protect themselves when they felt threatened. Back then, it was the Cesar Milan...

I LOVE working with multiple dogs in a home - there are so many training opportunities for teaching self control, patience, and emotional regulation, right in your own home! I just met Gracie and Rory and we put a plan in place to build Rory’s self-control—so there’s more peace in the home and Gracie gets her own space, toys, chews, and one-on-one time with her people without needing to put the puppy away. My home is so quiet... For the first time in 20 years, I only have 2 dogs. I am used to...
