With over 25 years of hands-on experience and a passion shaped by her own challenging (and lovable!) pack, Cristina blends compassion, real-world expertise, and a full toolbox of training methods to help dogs of all kinds thrive. Based in Monument, Colorado, she’s dedicated to transforming chaos into calm and guiding both pups and people through the rewarding journey of training.
We believe in using a balanced training approach tailored to each dog, not one-size-fits-all methods. Every dog is different, and we embrace the tools and techniques that best support their success.
We train for the real world. Our goal is to help dogs and owners navigate everyday life with confidence, calm, and joy, at home, in public, and on adventures.

Cristina is an awesome dog trainer! I was referred to her by a friend who had her very rambunctious puppy trained by Cristina with amazing results. I have a 6 month old boxer puppy, Venom, who desperately needed some training as my efforts proved futile. After two weeks with Cristina I don’t recognize Venom. Whose dog is this, lol? So well behaved and responsive to each of the commands he was taught. I’ve had him home now for over a week and it’s simply a night and day difference in his behaviors.
Definitely worth EVERY penny I spent for these incredible results 🙏🏻

Our GSP wasn’t allowed near our little kids, or in our home much, due to her wild behavior and inability to hold still and not trample everyone and everything. I tried everything I could at home, with no luck. Then I found Cristina at Fusion. After the two week board and train, you would have thought that she swapped out our dog for a different one. Nelli is now indoors, listens to all my commands, and loves spending time with the family. She’s a different dog. This training changed her life and ours, all for the better. Look no further than Fusion. Cristina is a miracle worker and you and your pup deserve it!

I called Christina to ask about board-and-train. She inquired about my issues with my pup. She immediately problem-solved and told me what to work on. I was impressed. She went out of her way to work with my schedule and get my pup in.
When I dropped her off, I immediately felt at ease with Christina and was impressed with her facility. This is her profession, and she loves it. It shows.
While my pup was there, I got updates and videos. When I went to pick her up, it was clear that she had bonded with Christina. Two weeks seemed long to be without my pup, but what she learned in 2 weeks was amazing. Communication post board-and-train has been phenomenal. I can't recommend Fusion Dog Training enough. I will definitely be back when I need boarding!

I highly recommend Fusion Dog Training! Our dog has learned to effectively walk on a leash, and we truly enjoy taking him for long walks since he is so well-behaved! He also knows his commands, how to interact nicely with other people and dogs, and behave well in public. Cristina is a great problem-solver when he picks up an 'interesting' quirk to work through, and breaks it down for how we can implement at home. We are very happy to have found Fusion, and the resulting well-behaved dog.

We are very impressed with Christina. She helped our 3 year old dog who did not know how to interact with other dogs and played really rough. He would scare other dogs and their owners. We did the board and train and we are amazed at the difference in our dog. She not only trained our dog but she helped us communicate better with him. I am no longer stressed when we see other dogs on our walks. I now have skill sets to communicate with my dog and he now knows what is expected of him.
