I have 3 adopted rescue dogs each with their own set of issues. When the big stores were willing to take my money and not solve the root cause of the problems, I contacted Christie. She taught me how to immediately bring a situation under control and keep it under control. My one dog Lillian would see another dog and start screaming/barking at it. Clearly not a way to make friends... :(. After working with Christie, I can take her in the car, sit at outdoor cafe while other dogs pass and give her a command in a busy area and she happily complies. She has taught me to work uniquely with each dog to make them successful. Without her patience, guidance and classes I would not be a 3 dog household!

We cant say enough about how much Christie means to us!! She taught us how to help our Yorkie mix rescue with severe fear aggression. The positive techniques we were taught and consistent reinforcement has lead to a happy and well adjusted dog. Walking with him now is not a struggle and he can be the dog he was meant to be...Christie saved us and our dog!

Christie Fernandez/Training your Best Friend is an awesome training program if you want to strengthen your relationship with your dog, and teach your dog how to follow your commands and learn good manners. Christie is passionate about animals and has a wealth of knowledge. She teaches not the dogs but the dog owners how to train their dogs and how to take charge. In other words, we learn how to properly walk our dogs vs letting our dogs walk us! The commands she teaches are very simple, logical and effective. My dog Lily and I took a Basic Obedience class as well as an Obstacle Course class which was really fun. At the beginning of the obstacle course class, Lily refused to go into the big tube because she was scared. Christie got down on the ground which was a concrete parking lot and crawled into the tube herself to encourage Lily to go in. By the end of the 7 weeks Lily was running through the tube and jumping over high hurdles like a champ! That never would have happened without Christie's help. I also had a difficult time with getting Lily to cooperate with loose leash walking. She would pull. Christie taught us how to master that so now we can enjoy our walks without pulling. I highly recommend Christie and Training your Best Friend. Your dog will love you more for the focused time you'll spend training him or her, and this greatly strengthens the bond with your dog.

When I was looking for some puppy training I mistakenly went to a big box pet store locally. I arrived on the first night with my puppy wearing a collar (not a harness) and a leash. There were dogs of all ages in a small cubicle and she was terrified. That was our last visit. I contacted Christie and she told me exactly what I needed for our first class and upon entering the big training classroom my girl was calm as a cucumber. We enjoyed her class so much we want to continue to the next level. Basic Obedience here we come!!
