In my spare time I am an animal legislator so my love for animals and their welfare is high priority! I believe in consistent training which includes treats:) not just basic direction. when I have your furbaby in my home they will be treated as they are part of the pack, I think it makes them more comfy and at ease. My experience level is that of 25 yrs . From my own pups to caring for friends pups and some neighbors and other furbabies that I’ve met through referrals! I also know a lot about meds for them as that my experience for that I have had 3 pups that had osteo sarcoma and one w liver cancer. I also have medical training for animals. I take special care of your furbaby, whether in your home or mine . I observe what all the animals do as well so that everyone gets along great w redirection !

Christina was wonderful. She is very easy to communicate with and has a lot of knowledge about dogs. Our Luna was with her for 8 hours, and was exceptionally tired when we got home. I would definitely recommend her.

Rollo got plenty of walks with Christina. However, this is more of a kennel set up than a personal in home setting so it depends what you are looking for regarding your pups experience. Christina is quick to respond and accommodating to your timeline and requests.
