We have a 1 year old rescue dog who was very reactive to people in our home and especially to other dogs on the street. After just two sessions with Kristina, and applying the strategies and tools that she has given us, we have already noticed significant improvements in our dog's behaviour. She is much less anxious, which of course has lessened our anxiety too. We still have much work ahead but Kristina has got us off to a great start and set us on a good pathway. She's an excellent trainer: professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and effective. She understands dogs and people.
Kristina was amazing in helping us with our dogs' sudden fights for attention. Our lives are now back to normal and we can happily cuddle with both of our girls once again. Consistency is key. Thank you!!
Kristina has been an amazing partner in my dog’s training. She’s provided realistic and manageable guidance and tools to help my dog get along with another dog. She’s also helped correct other frustrating behaviours along the way, both my dog and I are happier.
Kristina is a dog whisperer and a godsend. We're first time dog owners and we didn't realize how much we didn't realize. Kristina was able to hear our concerns and adjust our behaviours and training, so that our puppy can behave in cooperation with our life. We'd tried two other dog training places with less effective, efficient results. Kristina actually listens and then provides effective solutions. Can't recommend her highly enough.
We recently had our first 90-minute session with Kristina for our new puppy, and we couldn’t be more grateful. As second-time dog owners but first-time puppy parents, we were feeling pretty anxious—our pup is 6 months old and hadn’t had any formal training yet, so we felt like we were playing catch-up. Kristina immediately put us at ease. She provided practical, easy-to-implement tools and tips that we started using right away—and we’ve already seen noticeable improvements in our puppy’s behavior! Her approach is clear, direct, and tailored to our needs, which made a huge difference in our confidence. Both of our dogs have now been trained by Kristina, and we wouldn’t trust anyone else. We’re feeling much more optimistic and excited for our next session. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and experienced trainer!
