Fusion Dog Training

My dog, Bear, and I have benefitted greatly working with Cristina. Our walks are better than ever. At <2years old Bear follows commands, off-leash, allowing us to do activities as a family, without the stress of worrying about his behavior. We’ve had many good dogs in the past but this training has made such a difference; we will always seek training from Cristina for future dogs and advanced training for Bear!

I HIGHLY recommend Cristina from Fusion Dog Training. I adopted a rescue named Bandit who was very reactive to people and dogs. I dreaded our outside walks/hikes because of Bandit’s behavior. He would lunge, bark, and go berserk. People would stare at us and I felt so embarrassed! Then I went on a camping trip and Bandit nipped two dogs. That was the last straw for me. I debated giving Bandit up as I wasn’t sure how I could handle a dog with this behavior. I REALLY didn’t want to give Bandit up, but I didn’t know of any other option. I was currently working with a trainer and things were not improving AT ALL. I felt very sad, lost, and defeated. My vet recommended Cristina as a trainer for reactive dogs. Cristina was amazing! She is a dog whisperer! She helps you interpret your dog’s behavior and shows you how to provide boundaries and structure for your pup. This structure makes your pup feel safe. She taught me tools, so that I have the confidence and skills to navigate situations. Bandit is calmer, less reactive, and SO MUCH happier! We go on walks and hikes! Bandit does not go berserk and people do not stare! We even go for walks in Home Depot, Lowe’s, Pet Smart, and Scheel’s! Cristina also helped me figure out how to take Bandit in a pet carrier on a plane to visit my family. I don’t know how I would have made it without her! Bandit is now part of my life in every way! I am so grateful for Cristina and Fusion Dog Training! I HIGHLY recommend Cristina for all of your dog training needs.

I never wanted a puppy again and somehow my husband and daughter convinced me otherwise. At 6 months I was losing my mind. Cristina has saved our family and our house from the terror of puppyhood. Nothing was safe in our house and we couldn’t walk him on a leash for fear of being pulled to the next town over! Our sweet (I can say that now) Louie heels, stays in place, doesn’t jump or eat everything in sight. His boot camp was worth every single penny. We are so grateful. Cristina has made herself very available to follow up questions and truly wants the dogs and owners to both be happy. We highly recommend her!

We would highly recommend Fusion to everyone we know, and anyone we don’t. Cristina understands the psychology of dogs and humans in a way no one else does. And she makes resolving that frustrating chasm FUN. (she’s funny as Hell ;) What we didn’t expect from our sessions with Fusion - is the sense of ease, fun and peace. We have a 95-pound yellow lab, who was unmanageable on a leash. He pulled to no end. And ran away constantly. We now take him on public transportation and have him in restaurants with zero issue. Thank you, Cristina.
