Professional Service Dog Trainer

Pet care experience

*Love Your Dog is offering a greatly reduced rate to frontline healthcare workers during the covid-19 outbreak. If you are a nurse, doctor, or other healthcare specialist, please contact me directly for more information. If you are the type of discerning pet owner that appreciates expertise and quality care, I have built up a reputation over decades based on a 100% commitment to providing unparalleled animal training and care services to clients in the San Francisco Bay Area and across the nation. I have spent three decades within the horse industry – operating my own large show barn for nearly two decades, then twenty years as a professional dog handler. While I have specialized in service and emotional support dogs, I have a long history of industry-leading performance and innovative training techniques with ordinary family dogs. I’ve garnered international acclaim for providing insight into animal training models, philosophies, strategies, and technical innovations. For fifteen years I have worked with county Fire Districts in developing Animal Rescue Teams, and continue to perform scene management in Large Animal Rescues. I studied Equine Science at the country’s top college, which included animal physiology, psychology, anatomy, veterinary care, nutrition, and emergency medicine. This education has allowed me to offer exceptional care to all of my dog care and training clients. I have extensive experience working with young dogs in rigorous training, senior dogs, or dogs that require specialized medical care.

Christy did a great job for us. This was a first time to work with us and Bella and Banks loved her. Great communications during the entire time she helped take care of our dogs. I highly recommend her. Thanks Christy!

Excellent, I can't say enough. The fact that our dogs get along and I know Christy is watching over my little pup leaves my mind at ease when I'm at work. Very thorough and is as good at training you as your dog.

Christy was so awesome with my two dogs! It was our first time leaving them home with a sitter, and she made it much easier for us with lots of updates and pictures of them playing and having fun. Definitely a great experience!

Our rottweiler LOVES Christy. Before starting to work with her, he was very timid and shy around other dogs. Christy took him under her wing and he turned around 360 degrees. He is social around other dogs now, loves to play, and gets so excited when he knows it's his day to see her. When he hears her voice he will do anything she asks him to do. He loves her and in turn, WE love her. She's dependable, reliable, trustworthy, and has always always gone the extra ten miles for us. She's been a blessing to our dog and our family and we don't know how we'd survive without her. I highly recommend that everyone take their dog to her for care or training regularly, at the very least one day a week!
