Dog Gone Happy Training & Pet Sitting

"Benji our golden lab puppy was as playful and unruly as an adolescent child. Like any young puppy training and discipline was needed. I researched local trainers and was quite impressed with Christina. As an owner, she was helpful and advised us on the needs a young puppy required. She seemed smart and her help was appreciated. Her smart suggestions and helpful advice came before we even committed to her training program for Benji. Benji worked with Christina for four weeks! Christina called us and was now confident Benji was trained. When we picked up Benji, Christina explained the importance of continuing with the communication and training of Benji with us at home. Her helpful efforts continued while Benji returned and today I can tell you we enjoy Benji more! Christina and Dog Gone Happy Training more than fulfilled our expectations and we are happy with our Benji. Thank you Christina."

"Christina and her husband looked after my lab mix 9 days while I was on vacation. We recently used Christina for training at our house as well and she was fantastic. I was so happy i didn't have to put him in a kennel. Instead he was able to stay in our house and they checked on him frequently throughout the day. She was fantastic she would send pictures and updates regularly. I trust Christina and her husband completely with my dog. Price was really good also imo, on par with kennels. Plus he got to stay in the comfort of his home."

"I know when I leave my dog with Christina that she is in good hands. Christina is an excellent trainer and has given me good tips to keep my dog under control. She is an excellent communicator and responds quickly to my messages. I had struggled to find help with my dog in the area, and I’m so glad that I found Christina."

"Excellent dog training. We adopted a Husky/GSD puppy with all the crazy puppy energy that you’d expect but are unprepared for. We read everything and watched a ton of YouTube videos but it’s a lot of conflicting and confusing information out there. Christina gave us straightforward direction with a clear plan of action. I always say she trains the humans as much as the dog because the humans in the family need learn how to be clear and consistent with their verbal and physical gestures. It takes commitment and work for our dog to be successful. Formal training from Christina is well worth the investment. We already have a dog that we can walk with ease in the busiest streets of Manhattan without pulling or barking. People are always impressed with her behavior and this is just the beginning."

"We are an older couple with a 7 month old Black Lab. We went to Christina and were very pleased with her knowledge and handling of dogs. She told us it would not be easy and would require a lot of listening and work on our part. She was great with our dog, I couldn’t believe how fast she had the dog listening on day one. It was like a boot camp, but Daisy loved it. She gave us homework every time and we sent a video of our progress, Christina would respond and tell us what we were doing wrong. It was a lot of work and not easy like Christina said, but the payoff was well worth the effort, we have a well trained dog. Thank you Christina for all your patience with us."
