We did training with Chris here for puppy and beginner training and she is great. She really helped me understand how to teach him commands better l without getting overwhelmed . Benito has been doing really well and I’m glad we couldn’t have had a better trainer for our first puppy.

Training class with Chris was such a fun experience for my puppy! My puppy loved going to class and would be so exhausted by the end, which was a bonus especially with all that puppy energy!! Overall very satisfied with Chris’ work, you can really see her love for animals :)

I’ve been taking my Maltipoo Tony to PetSmart in La Quinta for quite some time now and have been very happy with how they groom him. Tony is VERY curly and is not easy to groom because of this.(Though he's really good when he goes there.) We’ve had Janelle a couple times including today and he looks just so darn cute! I’ve had other groomers there and have been happy with their grooming also.

This training class has been truly life changing for our family. Teddy is a one-year-old cockapoo with a history of trauma and a severe anxiety disorder that we manage with medication, exercise, and other accommodations. While those supports helped, training was the missing piece. When we first met Ms. Chris, Teddy could not stay still or focus at all. Within five minutes, she had him calmly sitting and engaged. That was when we knew we desperately needed these classes. Ms. Chris is incredibly knowledgeable, clearly loves what she does, and is deeply attentive to every dog and owner, offering personalized tips with remarkable patience and encouragement. Teddy also has a history of resource guarding, and these classes gave us the tools to teach skills like leave it and drop it calmly and safely without damaging his trust. Before training, Teddy bonded quickly to me and struggled to connect with my husband, but by taking the classes together, their bond has grown so much. By graduation, Teddy was noticeably calmer, more confident, and clearly proud of himself. His quality of life has genuinely improved in ways that medication alone could not provide. If you have a dog with anxiety or a difficult history, this program is absolutely worth the investment if you are committed and consistent.
