"When we first called Christina we were frustrated and quickly
losing hope with our 7 month old French Bulldog, Hannah. Hannah
barked constantly for attention, and we had received several complaints from
neighbors in our NYC apartment who were losing hours of sleep each
night. We had tried products such as the
'citronella collar' to reduce barking, and had
even enrolled Hannah and Sydney, our pug puppy, in basic
group obedience classes. Nothing had helped control the
barking and after 6 group obedience classes, our puppies
had only learned how to 'sit' because when
they were there, all they wanted to do was play with the
other dogs. After the first
20 minutes with Christina, my dogs had learned more than
after all 6 group classes. My dogs greatly
enjoyed these sessions each week and Christina's obvious
passion and expertise made learning fun for everyone. Now
that they realize that I am in control and that
barking is a futile attempt to get my attention, both
Hannah and Sydney's behavior have drastically improved,
and I have found that they
are much happier dogs altogether. I would highly
recommend Christina to anyone. We can't thank you enough!"

"Shortly after I got Heidi she became
more and more frightened of
strangers. She began to
shake and hide whenever a visitor came to our house and
would not come out until they left, even if it took
hours. When I tried to walk her outside, she would be
terrified and shake, pant and lunge back indoors so that
I was unable to walk her. She would also jump and run at
every new noise. Through Christina's behavior
modification program Heidi's stranger
phobia is almost completely gone. She can still
be a little skittish, but no longer hides from visitors
and now looks forward to our walks. The
difference is remarkable. Christina transformed
her from a terrified dog who was limited to our house to
a happy and confident one who is now capable of enjoying w
life. I really recommend NY Clever K9!"

"Prior to Christina, Lizzy waas in complete control of the house - in one word DISOBEDIENT. She's like a different dog now! We can actually sit on the couch without being trampled. We're even receiving compliments from the neighbors who have told us "Hiring that trainer was the best money you've ever spent!" Thanks Christina!"

"Steven and I just wanted to thank you for everything you have
done for Parker. Although we were lucky enough to have a
found a puppy with such a great temperament, thanks to
you, we are now also on our way to helping Parker lead a
happy lifestyle, where he now knows how to communicate with us, and in turn we
can communicate with him. I believe it is this
obedience that will truly help Parker to live a
fulfilling and happy life. We are so
excited for what's to come, and thank you for giving
us all the tools we may need to help Parker along the
way. Enjoy the pictures and we will keep you
posted on Parker's developments!!"

"Christina really helped us with our dogs. The older dog Sky was becoming increasingly more aggressive towards our younger dog Fen as well as towards myself. Christina showed us a way to incorporate training techniques into our everyday lives that worked for all of us. I was really impressed by Christina's understanding of dogs as well as owners. We really enjoyed working with her and appreciate all she has done to help us better understand Sky and Fen so we can all live together in harmony. It was a true learning experience to see her work and how fast she could get them to learn, she showed us our guys have far greater potential than we thought possible. Thank you Christina you have made a big difference in making our lives more rewarding!"

"I brought home to NYC the cutest 11-week-old puppy, Ginger. However, I found that when I tried to walk Ginger outside she would not even leave my apartment to go out into the hallway. Ginger was petrified, terrified of leaving my apartment and much less the building. Enter into my life Christina Shusterich. Christina began with Basic Obedience and then developed a desensitization program to build up Ginger’s confidence and reduce her fear of outside by bringing successful obedience, exercise and fun games into the hallway that I could do with her. Slowly but surely Ginger found the hallway to be the best place ever, she became curious about the noises from other apartments and she got used to the ones that frightened her. We worked our way to the lobby and then to the sidewalk. Ginger has been taking long walks with ease for about 2 months. Not only does she takes walks, she loves them. It was a difficult time for me as I thought it was the strangest thing to have a dog that didn’t want to go for a walk, but I am so glad that I stuck with the training program that Christina provided. Ginger brings so much joy to my life and we love to spend our days together strolling through the park. I whole-heartedly recommend Christina and NY Clever K9 whether it is for Basic Obedience or working with your fearful dog." - Stacey Giunta, NYC |
"Christina is fabulous. I’m handicapped and needed someone to work with my reserved standard poodle and train her as a service dog. Christina worked wonders and turned Hanna into a fabulous mobility dog. Christina is not only my dog’s trainer, she’s also become a friend and even though Hanna’s intensive training has come to an end, Christina makes it a point to visit us once a month and take us out on field trips, going to local stores, restaurants or just to the park, making sure Hanna is up to par. She’s an excellent trainer and I can think of no other person or place that deserves the honor of being named the best in Queens!"

Pluto and I are so glad Christina came into our lives! Pluto had a big problem with other large dogs whenever we went on walks. He would pull, bark, stare and even cry if he could not get close to the other dog. Christina took the time to evaluate Pluto, by talking with me and by observing him carefully. She worked with him (and myself) gently, consistently and effectively. She helped me to understand my dog’s anxiety, its origins and how to treat it. She encouraged me to keep practicing with Pluto, and to not be discouraged by minor lapses. The result: a calmer, happier dog, who is complimented on his beautiful walk and nonchalant attitude toward other excitable dogs. I love to walk him now! Christina truly helped develop a stronger bond and mutual respect between Pluto and I. - Nicole and Pluto Hernandez, Queens, NY |
