1/5Our dog was in a class that went over basic commands, using a lease, etc. Which is advertised for $245 we paid $400. One couple didn't return after 2 lessons. She snapped at them & when I asked a question about the different hand on lease she said if I didn't do it like she said…Read full reviewClose full review
Our dog was in a class that went over basic commands, using a lease, etc. Which is advertised for $245 we paid $400. One couple didn't return after 2 lessons. She snapped at them & when I asked a question about the different hand on lease she said if I didn't do it like she said then she couldn't help us. I did not return. My husband and I traveled 2hours one way. Due to weather,skipping classes too long in between, I felt she should have rescheduled the whole thing. She was rude & threatened to make a dog get out of the store & I didn't see him do anything wrong. She said he was aggressive. Hope your dog don't catch Christy when she gets up on the wrong side of the bed. Linda Rodgers

Such a Pleasure! Christie was great to work with during the public manners classes. We first tried basic class but found it wasnt best fit for Charlie, she allowed us to move over which worked out great and could recognize it was better match for him and his current manners. I also appreciate she helps teach you working with your best friend directly, as I admit I had faults that likely got in the way more than anything trying to communicate with him. We will be back soon for next fall classes. We are very proud of our little graduate =).

We have 2/ 2 year old Pomeranians!! They were a challenge walking, trying to chase cars, barking at everything and simply wouldn’t listen!! We registered them in the basic obedience class!! The first day they were both nervous (several Great Danes). The second class they were both a bit more comfortable!! Christine interacted with Majesty(boy) he growled! She watched him for the remainder of the class! Before we left, she informed us he was fearful and thought her Fearful Fido Class would be a better fit!! She was right! He did much better!! Duchess(girl) will do just about anything for a treat!! Walks have been amazing since I no longer walk them together!! The little tips like that has made life easier for me and them!! We did the work and got results!!! We will definitely be taking more classes!!

Christie is amazing! We brought our 6-year-old dog Nyla to her Reactive Rover 1 course, and it's made a huge difference for her and for us. She's so much less anxious, she rarely reacts to other dogs, and we can get her attention back if she does. Christie does an amazing job with training, and she worked around nasty weather to make sure we could still do the whole course.

We have a reactive german shepherd named Luna who can be quite a handful. We were looking to get her involved in some training when we moved to North Carolina about 2 years ago and came across Christie. She offers classes for reactive dogs which is something that is hard to come across. She uses the best methods (positive reinforcement), has a wealth of experience, and has a heart for all dogs. Training with Christie has better enabled me to handle my dog when she is in uncomfortable situations. Also, Luna usually enjoys the sessions because there are treats and games involved. I highly recommend her for your training needs.
