I took my rescue golden Isla to best buddies last year. I was so happy with the positive reinforcement training and Christy’s calm demeanor, especially since my dog is reserved and anxious.

We have two energetic and lovable Shih Tzus who needed help with training and structure. Although they're only eight days apart in age, our younger pup has a strong will and a big personality! After researching several training options, we found Christy—and we’re so glad we did. Her approach, which avoids shock collars and focuses on positive, effective training methods, was exactly what we were looking for. We started with the puppy class and then moved into the adolescent class, and we’re incredibly pleased with the results. At just 8 ½ months old, our boys are doing great. We continue working with them and really appreciate having a jump drive of materials to revisit when we need a refresher or help with a behavior challenge. Christy has been an outstanding support throughout the process. Her classes are comprehensive, thoughtful, and truly top-notch. A heartfelt thank you from Enzo, Jax, Mike, and me—for your passion, your guidance, and for helping give our boys the best start possible!
As an owner of a local dog boarding facility we refer all of our clients in need of training to Best Buddies. Christine is a wonderful dog trainer using positive reinforcement and kind methods. I work with a TON of the dogs trained at Best Buddies and they are each a testament to the hard work Christine puts into her classes and clients everyday.
