I can't say "Thank You" enough! You have changed life for Georgia for the better and made me a better "owner" for her. My dog, whom everyone said would always be aggressive and that I should get rid of her if my husband wanted to bring another dog into the house, with your help, has done a 180 degree turn around. Instead of attacking our new dog Keg, they play together, and both have learned how to be much better behaved dogs. Thank you for helping our whole family be a happy family.

- Carolynn & Joe, dogs Georgia & Keg

Thank you for turning our Dempsey Dog into such an angel. We can't thank you enough for all your help, Christy!

- Danielle & Ryan, dog Dempsey

Thank you for being one of the most fun and knowledgeable trainers I have ever had with any of my dogs. Thanks for working with me and the wheelchair. I know you had to change some things but I think all worked out well.

- Charlotte, dog Olive Oyl

Thank you so much for your continued support after classes.  It really means a lot to Matt and me that we can still contact you when problems arise, and you still give specific advice tailored to Maddox's needs.  The advice is invaluable, and helps our communication with a dog we love more than words, but don't always understand. 

 - Emily & Matt, dogs Maddox and Isa

We have to admit that when you first told us what we could teach Edison and Lucy, we laughed: Come when we called them? Lie calmly on the floor, even when the cat runs by? Not these dogs! But their progress has been amazing — the fact that they actually listen has restored peace to our house! Thank you for helping us understand their behavior and, most importantly, for showing us how to change our behavior in order to improve theirs. We're so grateful!

- Emily & Emmet, dog Edison

I cannot tell you how many compliments we get about how well behaved Roxie is. Dr. Love, Dr. Nappier, and the rest of the staff at Westlake Animal Hospital cannot get over the difference in her. Some of her accomplishments at home include: finally going up our stairs, waiting for us to say okay to greet guests, down stay is really good, walking is better, and finally we leave her kennel door open now when we leave the house because she has proven that she can be trusted when she is by herself.

Dr. Love said Roxie is the best behaved shepherd in his practice and Dr. Nappier agrees.  We all said it had everything to do with the training you gave Tim and I.

Let me say Ava, Jen and I all enjoyed your class. We gained a lot of fantastic techniques and got a lot of answers. Definitely appreciate your upbeat and positive attitude. Looking foward to the next series of classes. Will certainly recommend you to anyone who is in need.

 ... I just wanted to let you know that Kim and I were very pleased with the classes that you prepared for us and our group. They were very informative and I feel that if we use your techniques that Willson will grow to be a balanced and well-behaved dog. Even though in her case it might take a little more effort on our part to get it right.
 
I also like what you said in the first couple of classes that we'll only get out of this training what we put into it. I couldn't agree more, and know that we will have to work (in a fun way) with Miss Willson often to achieve good behavior results. In the early stages with our new puppy, Kim and I had moments when we weren't sure how to react with her questionable moments. But after taking the first initial classes we felt empowered, and felt like we knew exactly what we should, or maybe more importantly, what we shouldn't be doing. So thanks again, and we would highly recommend you for anyone who needed help with their dog training ...

When I first met Christy I was not sure she would be able to help us with Davinci, our Bichon. Davinci has terrible allergies and had been wearing a cone on his head for months. He was so preoccupied with his health, behaving properly was the last thing on his mind. Christy showed us how to help Davinci forget about his itchy skin and focus on other things. Jumping on guests is no longer a problem, begging has gotten much better (the kids keep sneaking him food). Davinci is able to sit and stay, come when we call him and kennel up when necessary. These are all things he could not do 6 months ago. I have tried other dog trainers since we had another dog prior to Davinci and nothing worked. Christy helped our dog become part of our family. His annoying habits are pretty much gone and we are all living a much happier life.

We just wanted to let you know that Magic is doing great! The real test came today when my nephew came over to the house. They had not been at our house since the [biting] incident with Magic at Easter. He did wonderful! Even though the children were told not to run around in the house, at one point they were and Magic did not chase after them. At another point he listened to the leave it command when I felt he was getting too close to my nephew. He was a very good boy today and we owe it all to you!

I've had numerous comments from friends and family that they wish their dog was as well-behaved as Jovi is. I believe the additional bonus to the classes was the opportunity for Jovi to mingle with dogs that were larger than she is.

I feel that her tolerance of other dogs she has encountered, either during walks or when visiting friends, would not have been the same without having attended your classes. I plan on taking future classes, such as Clicker Training, with you. In addition, I will be joining another puppy class...with the next new member of our family.

- MaryAnn, dog Jovi

I am really glad and thankful that Ben and I enrolled into your class because we would had been controlled by such a small dog. Thank you again.

- Ben, Jacki, dog Zilla

A HOWLING THANKS to CHRISTY....You invited my daughter and her companion "Carmel" to view one of your clicker classes. The vets discovered that Carmel's problem was seizures and prescribed meds for her. The seizures continued .....sometimes frequently. You suggested that just possibly Carmel's seizures could be triggered by food allergies. My daughter purchased a NO CORN dog food. Carmel HASN'T HAD A SEIZURE since.

"After the two-hour training session with Christy, my husband and I learned everything there was to learn about handling the typical puppy quirks.

"Our biggest concern was the non-stop play biting. Christy showed us some techniques to utilize based upon Marley's personality and it worked like a charm. We were impressed with the quick adjustment to Marley's behavior."

- Lori and Ryan, dog Marley

"We cannot thank you enough for coming by, especially on such short notice and on a holiday! Bill and I feel a lot more confident now that we are on the right track with Rojk.... I definitely think you hit on it when you said that his fears mostly deal with being outdoors and the many things that may happen in that environment.

"Thanks again for your time and effort. It really means a lot to us to have your guidance and support, as I am sure it does to Rojk too.

"Thank you so much for all of your assistance and follow-up. You really have been a huge help. Thanks for changing all of our lives in such a positive way."

- Samantha and Bill, dog Rojk

"The techniques we learned from Christy had an immediate and sustained impact on our dog's behavior. We like the program because it is easy to learn, but more importantly, easy to maintain and apply consistently. Our walks with our dog are more enjoyable and we have some effective techniques to keep him from being a nuisance to our visitors."

- John and Kim, dog Ozzie

"After just two lessons, our dog is already behaving better. She no longer pulls us along on walks or knocks over our children by jumping on them. We are confident that she'll soon be the best behaved dog on the block."

- Jamie and Heather, dog Tasha
