A gentle and pawsitive approach to dog training.
I’m your trainer, Christy, and I believe that the most effective training is done when both the owner and the dog enjoy the process.
I have had the privilege of working with many different kind of dogs and families. I am passionate about dogs, and I love sharing my knowledge with my family, friends, and clients.
It's amazing to see the bond between a dog and his family grow through positive training.
Let’s get to work!
“Christy is nothing short of a miracle worker. We witnessed amazing progress after even just ONE visit, and got to see marked improvement with visitors after training with Christy.
Christy is amazing and is a wonderful teacher for both dog and human alike!”

A bit more about me…
In 1998, I began my career in working with dogs at a facility where I assisted in daycare, boarding, grooming, and training. It was an incredible opportunity to begin learning about dog behavior and various modifications; at the time, the training world was shifting from forceful techniques to more force-free, science-proven methods. I feel fortunate to have gained an understanding of both methods so I can fully support my belief in employing the more gentle approach, as it is so much more beneficial for humans and dogs alike.
I spend much of my free time reading books and articles pertaining to animal behavior and also continue to further my education by attending seminars of the most amazing and well respected behaviorists, veterinarians and dog trainers in the world. I look forward in sharing with you what I have learned from them to better improve the relationship between you and your dog.
