FirstBarkChristine was awesome in training our Bella, a 4 year old Golden Retriever! Bella learned all sorts of voice commands and now is a PLEASURE to take for a walk. No more pulling! And also no more jumping on people when saying Hello!

I worked with Christine to train my dog, a chihuahua/terrier mix, and my in-law's dog, a very large golden retriever. Both dogs are young and had already developed some bad habits of jumping up and barking, to name a few! Christine taught me how to work with the dogs so that I was able to address these bad behaviors and any others that may come up. We are still practicing to learn new things, but so far the dogs can be quiet in their crates (even when someone comes to the door), they can walk nicely on a leash without pulling, they can sit and stay outdoors during walks and in the house when I'm doing chores. Christine has always been very responsive to answer any questions that came up between visits. I feel like I got an excellent value for what I paid, but more importantly, I got great results and feel like I can now be a better leader for my pups.
