Your dog belongs with your family

23 years of experience helping dogs and puppies in the Salt Lake Metro area become confident, connected family members. In your home, on your schedule, using only positive reinforcement.

Effective Training Techniques

No shock collars. No aversives. Ever. We use science-backed, ethical training techniques to teach your dog.

Tailored to Your Dog’s Needs

Every dog is unique, which is why we create personalized training plans to fit your dog’s specific needs and behaviors.

Proven Results

With our methods and expertise, we have a track record of success in helping dogs and owners build a strong bond and achieve their training goals.

Flexible Scheduling

We understand busy schedules, which is why we offer flexible training sessions to fit your availability and make training convenient for you.

Kind. Science-based. Effective.

Every dog has the potential to thrive. I use the science of how dogs actually learn, with kindness and ethical treatment as the base of every session.

Positive reinforcement
I reward what you want more of, and redirect what you don’t. No punishment, no fear, just clear communication your dog understands and enjoys.

Trained in your real world
Skills learned in a training facility don’t always transfer home. Working in your space means your dog learns where it matters most.

You learn too
I coach you and your whole family, not just your dog. Understanding why things work gives you confidence long after our sessions end.

Management & prevention
Good training isn’t just commands; it’s building an environment where your dog can succeed from the start.

Meet Christina

I’ve been training dogs since I was 16 years old. That’s 24 years of working with dogs, their people, and the relationships between them!

My background isn’t just practical. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a focus on animal behavior, and I’ve conducted research studying dolphin feeding behaviors. That foundation in how animals actually learn, communicate, and make decisions shapes everything I do in your living room with your dog.

Outside of client work, I compete in dog shows and lure coursing. I’ve also trained horses, so when I say I understand animal behavior across species, I mean it literally.

But what really drives my work is closer to home. As the parent of four neurodivergent kids, I know firsthand how much a well-integrated family dog matters, and how much chaos an undertrained one can add to an already full household. I’m not training your dog in the abstract. I’m training your dog to live well with real people, real families, and real life.

My approach is 100% positive reinforcement, always one-on-one, and in your home, because that’s where it has to work.
