I am a balanced trainer. This means I believe in rewards through praise and food but I also believe that dogs need to be told no when they exhibit bad behavior. Dogs need to be held accountable when breaking the rules of a known command.

I brought my 4 month old pup to Kristi for a one week board and train while I went away on vaca. She had issues with barking for attention, begging for food while we ate, and was not a pleasure to take on a walk. She was only gone for a week, but we literally brought home a new pup. We now hear Sully bark maybe once a week, she lays in her place bed while we eat meals, and she walks on my heel with the prong collar she provided and rarely pulls. She kept me updated throughout the week via text and facebook posts and went over all of her new skills when I picked her up. She is now 6 months and has retained all the skills she has learned and I try my best to keep up with her training. I cannot recommend Kristi enough!

Kristi did a great job at training our dog and her owners ( two sessions ) on how to deal with her issues on walking and barking. She has become a great walker no more pulling and her barking has decreased substantially.

My 4 month old Golden was in need of some proper training and correction,for excessive mouthing on me and my furniture,as well as, pulling on leash. Kristi’s techniques and helpful commands transformed my pup into a great companion. I would highly recommend new beginnings dog training.

Kristi was a pleasure to work with for our dog Rosie. We had asked for help as she's a 10 month old Beagle Boxer mix who was what seems like endless energy. Kristi was always very prompt and a delight to converse with over the training sessions. I would highly recommend going with her for any training needs.

I liked that she came to my house and provided one on one training in the dog's own environment. I have an 18 month old golden retriever and jumping was my main issue. I mainly just wanted to stop the out of control jumping but I got so much more. Kristie went over nutrition, taught better leash manners, helped control the jumping and also provided instruction in many other areas. I learned alot. Thanks Kristie my dog is definitely much better behaved.
