Training Your Best Friend LLC

We completed the Fearful Fido class with our adopted dog, Crispin, and I just signed up for a second round because it was so helpful. We were looking for a positive reinforcement trainer who was knowledgable and compassionate of behavior challenges. We saw so much growth with increased communication, and reduced behaviors. It helped to build our relationship with Crispin, and reduce the significant stress we were having. We felt very safe in classes with dogs properly spaced from each other. Christie was very knowledgable and was able to educate us on Crispin's triggers and threshold of comfort and how to respond in those situations. At the first class he was barking and growling, and by the last class he was excited to go to class and see Christie. Before I signed up, Christie took the time to talk to me and assess what class would be a good fit.

This was truly an amazing experience. Both Dream and I met some beautiful people with extraordinary furbabies. Christie Fernandez is very knowledgeable about all breeds of dogs. She made our encounters both memorable and informative. I can't wait until the next class in the fall. Dream and I will be front and center. Dream has learned so much, and with her being such an amazing PSD, it made training a piece of cake. While we both still have a ways to go, with every class, we learn more and more about each other. As you can see from the pic, she makes me smile with joy and is more than just my furbaby—she is my friend!

I cannot recommend Christie at Training Your Best Friend, LLC enough!! My sweet but fearful dog and I just completed her Fearful Fido course, and I can’t begin to explain the positive impact it has had on both of us. I spent so much time sorting through different local trainers, and the pricing and packages were overwhelming, until I stumbled upon Training Your Best Friend, LLC. From the very first call with Christie, it was clear she has a true passion for helping dogs and their owners. She took the time to listen to my concerns and met me with guidance, patience, and knowledge. Despite the group class setting, she was incredibly attentive to each dog and owner, tailoring every lesson to the individual dog’s needs. My dog made amazing progress in just a few short weeks, more than he has with trainers in the past. I’ve also gained a new level of understanding and confidence in handling him and helping him through his fears. I can’t wait to continue working with Christie in the fall—I truly can’t express my gratitude enough. If you’re looking for a kind, knowledgeable, and effective positive reinforcement trainer, you’ve found the best!
