Positive Dog

We have had an amazing training experience with four kids and pup is doing great! Trainer is thoughtful with incredibly useful tips. Definitely recommend this trainer

Chris is a wonderful trainer with a wealth of knowledge for any situation. We’ve struggled with a dog-reactive dog, and our second is highly prey-driven with poor recall in the presence of critters, and working with Chris has given us all the confidence to manage day-to-day encounters. I appreciate Chris’s positive based training methods and scientific/evidence-backed approach - it is clear that as a trainer, she also never stops learning new techniques and ways to help her clients.Her private lessons are well worth your time and investment. We loved her “real-life” group classes in a stimulating, outdoor setting which felt more like what we would encounter on a daily basis versus other recall/leash skill classes inside a controlled training facility.I can’t say enough good things about working with Chris: professional, supportive, evidence-based, approachable and always fun.

Highly recommend classes with Chris. She can set you and your dog up for success with whatever your dog needs work on. Dog needs confidence? See Chris. Reactive Dog? Chris. Fun & relationship building classes? Yes, Chris!! Loved our frisbee classes and will come back for more soon. Thank you !!

After unsuccessfully trying a few local trainers, I figured it was worth the drive (from Victoria) to give Christina a try. I was at the limit of my ability to cope with my anxious dog. After a short board and train, Christina gave me tips that showed significant improvement in my dogs anxiety within a month. He is now able to attend group disc classes, something I had almost completely dismissed as being possible. 100% positive reinforcement, kind and realistic with a true passion for dogs, I am so grateful to have found Christina. I continue to make the commute from Victoria to attend her amazing classes.

Christina is very knowledgeable about dog behaviour and is an excellent teacher. Her seminars and classes not only teach skills but also give insights into why your dog might be struggling. Every lesson, private, class or seminar, has been well prepared and I have come away with new ideas to work on with my dogs. I feel that Christina loves to help bring out the best possible relationship between dog and human that she can.

I worked with Christina at positive dog when I adopted my rescue chiquahua. We attended a Canine Good Manners class for 8 weeks and she helped us immensely. She is a great dog trainer and really personalizes the classes to what you and your dog need. I know we will be using her services in the future and highly recommend her for any kind of training. We hope to do some parkour and trick classes, so many fun things to try with our dogs so get out there and give positive dog a try.

Christina is an excellent dog trainer and teacher. If you want a knowledgeable trainer who has your dog's best interests at heart and who uses science based training methods, look no further. I highly recommend her!

Christina is an excellent instructor/trainer! She taught me how to help my puppy build confidence as well as relax. My pup and I have come a long way thanks to Christina! Looking forward to nose-work classes.

My dog Molly and I took a trick class from Christina and learnt tons, so when I got my newest rescue dog Lucy I signed up for more training. It helped her build confidence and bond with me. 5 months later and she is doing very well thanks to Christina’s patience and guidance.
