Her expertise has since evolved into a specialty: Puppies.

Christine's ultimate goal is to create freedom, confidence, and safety for entire families. With her guidance, pet owners can enjoy off-leash adventures, travel, restaurant outings, and more, all while having a well-trained dog that remains relaxed and out of trouble at home.
As a CPDT-KA and Pet First Aid certified professional, she provides private in-person and online sessions, as well as recall training courses and webinars. In addition to her certifications, Christine is also insured and has undergone background checks. She is a dedicated community builder and animal advocate, co-founding The Dog Lovers Club on Clubhouse, which has garnered a community of over 47,000 members.
One of Christine's notable offerings is the RAD: RECALL ADVENTURE DOGS, an intensive 8-week online course designed to address the challenges that hinder a dog's ability to listen and respond. For those seeking a quicker solution, she also offers the RAD Mini-Course, a one-hour webinar focused on teaching the 4 Rules of Recall. This course provides participants with a clear understanding of how to practice these rules effectively and witness significant progress in their dog's behavior.
