Christina Todd, an operational dog trainer at Lead with Fun and Pawsitive Critter Academy LLC, brings a wealth of experience and expertise to her work. With an honor-awarded dog training certification from Animal Behavior College, she grounds her approach in the positive ‘clicker’ training methods established by Karen Pryor, Pat Miller, and others. She employs flat collars, gentle head halters, and harnesses, coupled with a rewarding system, to achieve effective results.
Their services encompass obedience training, pet exercise, searching games, puppy primers, problem solving, behavior consultation, and in-home training, all designed to foster positive and lasting behavioral changes in dogs.
