Christine has been a trainer for our puppy Mark Darcy. Throughout her sessions, Mark has been developing better manners and we, as owners , become more resourceful knowing so many ways to work our puppy. I like Christines way of training is full of love and playing so it really makes Mark Darcy happy every time he is in training. Highly recommend.

Christine has been a lifesaver! Our 1 year old puppy started biting and getting a bit out of control. She was so responsive and supportive and gave us manageable ways to support his growth. After our four sessions together, he was able to listen to commands and we were even able to cut his nails at home! She was so helpful coming to our home and working with us in our environment and was super helpful with notes after each session. I highly recommend her and will continue to reach out for training sessions when we need a refresher!

Cannot recommend enough! I decided to seek Christine's training services for my dog, an 8 year old lab mix, after reading multiple 5 star, glowing reviews for her from other dog owners. One of the things that really appealed to me about her approach was the concept of individualized, one-on-one training sessions as opposed to group classes like those offered by other trainers in the Seattle area. After one session I was able to begin implementing methods for behavior modification that have proven to be sustainable and effective. It has been a great experience to learn from her during the sessions with my dog. I appreciate Christine's warmth, sincere concern for me and my dog, and her professionalism. The follow up information provided after our sessions is invaluable. I am three sessions in so far, and I continue to see positive results in my dog, particularly improvements in his behavior on leash, while on our walks. I think he and I are both enjoying our walks more. Many thanks, Christine!

My entire household adores Christine. Any dog would benefit from training with Christine but she is especially talented at working with special needs dogs. My husband and I adopted a pitbull that had reactivity and aggression due to fear. We didn't realize this though until about a month into having her. From the very first call with Christine it was clear that she had a passion for her work and compassion for dogs. She never made us feel bad or shamed us for not knowing what to do. Within a few months of Christine working with Mabel, we saw a huge improvement. Not only was the time with Christine wonderful (Christine is Mabel's favorite person) but she also gave us a ton of resources to help us work with Mabel on our own. I especially loved the recaps at the end of each session where she gave additional tips, resources and shared ideas. She also helped out with our 2nd dog here and there if she saw opportunities for us to adjust our approach. We can't recommend Christine enough and we are so grateful for her thoughtfulness and compassion. We have a different dog today than we had originally and we are continuing to see progress. She is absolutely amazing and pup approved!

Christine is a GEM! We have an adult blue heeler and got a red heeler puppy for Christmas. I imagined the cutest snuggle pics but was shocked and stunned when not only did they not snuggle but they went after each other non-stop. I was lost for how to help the two cohabitate. I got Christines name from another highly recommended dog trainer (first good sign). Christine was quick to respond, flexible with scheduling a phone chat about our situation and was really great with working around COVID protocols so everyone felt safe. I could immediately tell that Christines passion and love of dogs was beyond her profession. We did several different types of sessions to address not only the two dogs needing to ignore each other but also general puppy stuff and some adult less than ideal behavior stuff too! My roommate and I couldnt have more different approaches to most things and Christines techniques, instruction, demonstrations worked really well for both of us and, of course, the dogs! Each session was followed by an email with a recap of the session, notes and reminders and links to any suggested reading/watching resources and supplies. I cannot wait to have more sessions with Christine!
