"Christina is amazing. My black Labrador/Chow mix Gina
was like the Tasmanian Devil before Christina began working with
her. I don't know how she does it but she is able to connect
with my dog on a level I've never seen before. In
just a few sessions Gina was following commands and her
behavior in general was really improved. Christina
is so great because she doesn't just train the dog and
have you sit there, she makes sure you are involved so
when she leaves you know exactly what to do and what to
practice on. She is on time and great with scheduling
and I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Christina
for the great investment!"

"Christina is the best dog trainer I’ve worked with. She uses only positive reinforcement and helped me train my dog to snap out of her longstanding fear aggression to people, something that other behaviorists I’ve seen have not been able to do. We were severely limited in where we could take Flurry and even avoided having guests over due to her constant barking, following and jumping at them. The transformation in Flurry has been amazing, we recently were able to take her to an indoor barbecue full of people all strangers to her. Not only did she not bark at any of the guests (even when they stood up and walked around!) she was really friendly and even bonded with one guest in particular. We're thrilled to say that she's becoming quite the socialite!"

"Christina is a magician. Kate and Ginger try really hard
but aren't able to always understand us. Granted, we
have some issues: Izzy is blind and barks to try to communicate and Jellybean has
some submissive urination issues. With kindness
and patience Christina determines, develops and
translates for us what we can really do (a lot!) and how
to effectively communicate with us. If you need your
linguistically challenged humans to learn 'The Ways
of the Dog,' training, leadership skills and make
your life less stressful and better all around give
Christina a call, you won't be disappointed. An extra
benefit we got from the confidence we gained through
Christina obedience program and our improved
relationships is that Izzy no longer needs to bark
constantly to try to get his point across and
Jellybean's urination problems have really decreased. Christina
we love you!"

"My adorable lovable rescue Lexi suffered from problematic separation
anxiety. Christina's approach through behavior
modification has resulted in a dog who no longer needs
to panic when I leave my apartment. Her calm, tender
manner along with her true understanding of canine
'why's' has vastly improved Lexi's quality of life (and mine
too)! Her patience with both me and my dog is truly
admirable. In addition, Lexi now has a real zest in playing with
toys and doing fun exercises that have significantly improved
her obedience. Christina, we both thank you!"

"Life before Christina of NY Clever K9: Formal complaints from
apartment neighbors who don't quite appreciate incessant
barking; a tired, impatient, at-her-wits-end
owner who had never witnessed her dog sleep for more
than 20 minutes and who barked whenever he was awake;
crumbs in my bed from a dog who refused to remove
himself from it; never an
uninterrupted eating experience without an entire
turkey or pizza being snatched from the table; a wild
dog jumping up on every table and person; did I
mention the incessant barking? Life after Christina:
Compliments from neighbors and friends about my well
behaved, gorgeous 'angel'; a rested owner who
enjoys a full night sleep on her crumb free bed with her
dog on his own bed on the floor; dinners at the dining
room table for the 2-leggeds only; a dog who tries very
hard to sit when greeting people, but in any event, no
longer jumps; a doggie and
owner who happily understand each other! Thank
you, Christina, for making Mac's world less
frustrating and my world more peaceful!"

"It was very embarrassing for us to have our dog Bailey show aggression
to other dogs, especially after moving to a very
pet friendly apartment building. Needless to say,
there are dogs everywhere. With Christina's help Bailey
overcame his leash aggression in just a few sessions, he
is unconcerned with other dogs, more relaxed and is
behaving better every day. He even had a very friendly
encounter with another dog yesterday, they were sniffing
each other, wagging tails, it was great! He also actually
listens to us outside! No more embarrassing days. Working
with Christina was a wonderful experience as she made it simple
and fun, we highly recommend her!"
