My Best Buddy

Christy is an excellent trainer. She works with each dog and owner individually, as well as in a group. She has very sound and advise and her methods work. Her schedule is accommodating, and her fee’s are very reasonable.

Christy is very passionate about her work and cares about her clients. Whether you are looking to correct minor/​major behavioral problems or seriously considering competition, My Best Buddy will tailor their training to fit your needs.

My lab mix Koda is high energy and she performs better in class than she does at home. I believe the environment at My Best Buddy brings out the best in us! It is an amazing feeling to give your dog a command and it responds and does it properly. I have felt it! I have seen the look on other pet owners faces when that moment occurs and all of the work you put in pays off! It is an AMAZING FEELING! It will happen to you too if you follow Christy’s instructions.

Sure you can probably get a six week course cheaper at a pet store run by some kid who barely paid attention to their own 30 minute «trainer’s course» or bring your pet to My Best Buddy and benefit from the years of experience and knowledge. Christy continues to educate herself on the latest training trends for the book on training is constantly being updated!

I recommend the six month course to ensure you have some flexibility and get the results you and your pet are looking for!

My husband and I have worked with Christy, the owner of My Best Buddy, with both of our dogs. (We worked with her before she opened her very own training business, My Best Buddy, so that’s why someone might notice some similarities between this review and another I wrote a couple years ago.) She’s a talented trainer who clearly loves dogs. She taught us the «leave it» command for our dog, Delilah. This was an important command because we spent many years living in cities where people would go out at night and leave their late night munchies– pizza scraps, chicken wing bones– all over the streets, and our dog often ingested these «goodies» before we could stop her. After you spend some time pulling chicken bones out of a hungry mutt’s mouth, you’ll learn the value of «leave it.» Delilah is such a greedy little dog that we never thought she could learn «leave it,» but with Christy, she did. Christy had us practice with chicken wings, after Delilah had mastered less valuable stuff, and Delilah was successful! Christy also helped our other dog, Kiwi, who has really struggled with leash reactivity.

Christy is a great trainer, and can really help you with your dog. She once sent my wife and me a picture of our (high strung, reactive) dog calmly laying on a mat with other dogs around her that blew our minds.

Christy is an excellent trainer. She adapts trainings on needs (for both the owner and the dogs).

Christy is extremely patient and knowledgeable. She taught ME how to behave better around my dog and it has turned into a much better relationship as a result.
