      <image:caption>INDIVIDUAL OPTIONS:   1.   “I’m Talkin’ To You!” (aka ~ Functional Behavior Assessment): This is equivalent to going to the doctor for an evaluation.  This evaluation gives us valuable information that we will use for our training plan. $90 2.   “What Do You Want Me To Do?” (aka ~ Behavior Modification Plan): This is the plan we will implement to change unwanted behaviors.  This plan is put together based on the Functional Behavior Assessment. $60 3.   “How Am I Doing, WOOF?” (aka ~ Progress/Transfer Session):  During our progress session we discuss behavior goals we have met and the need to maintain or continue training.  During the transfer session I will show/give you the training tools you will need to continue and progress with your training. $60 4.   “Manners, What Manners?!” (aka ~ Basic Manners):  During this session we will work on behaviors such as:  sit, stay, down, come, wait, leave it....and more advanced behaviors if desired.  This is for dogs of all ages! $50 5.   “Learning On The Go” (aka ~ Walk &amp; Train):   This training session includes enrichment and maintaining or teaching new behaviors during a walk.  All behavior modification "Learning on the Go" requires a Functional Behavior Assessement. $40/1hr. OR $30/30min. 6.  Animal Communication ~ During this session I will look at the animals' purpose, agreements between owner and pet, specific questions the owner might have, energy levels and a healing, if it is wanted.  $80/1 hr. OR $40/30min.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Welcome - Phil &amp; Bandit I recently had the pleasure of working with Chrissy, a fantastic dog trainer. From the first day I met her, I could tell that she was very knowledgeable and passionate about helping dogs and their owners. Chrissy has an incredible ability to break down complicated behavior training into a small series of achievable steps with positive reinforcement. This skill makes it easy for me to understand what steps my dog must go through to learn different behaviors. She empowers me to be able to train my dog myself, which gives me more confidence in taking care of my dog. Moreover, Chrissy is very friendly, engaged, professional, and she is simply fantastic with dogs. Her ability to communicate with them is impressive, and she makes training so much fun for both my dog and me. My dog Bandit was extremely submissive and scared of any training before working with Chrissy. She turned his attitude completely around with her friendly approach to teaching. Now Bandit is excited to learn and always looks forward to training sessions with Chrissy. Overall, I highly recommend Chrissy to anyone looking for a great dog trainer!</image:title>

      <image:title>Welcome - Jenny, Bard, &amp; Charlotte Chrissy has been instrumental in helping our German Shepherd, Charlotte, to feel calmer and more confident.  Like many German Shepherds, Charlotte is reactive to other dogs and strangers, and her reactivity has been difficult to manage.  Thanks to Chrissy's consistent, positive reinforcement and desensitization work, we have a much easier time walking Charlotte and introducing her to new things.  And the best part of it all is that Charlotte absolutely LOVES Chrissy and literally does pirouettes when Chrissy arrives for a training session.  We highly recommend Chrissy to anyone who needs help with dog training, but especially for anxious, reactive dogs.</image:title>
      <image:caption>"My dogs are special--in all the connotations of that term! Helen, a heeler, is a classic rescue. Fearful of people she didn't know limited my ability to get her the exercise and stimulation she needed while I was at work. My other pup, Percy, a beagle mix, is more tolerant of new people, but certain dogs on the other hand . . . I was doing the best I could to meet their needs, help them along with their issues and keep us all sane. But I knew we needed help. And I knew it couldn't be just anyone--prior attempts to find trainers or dog day care ended with a thanks but no thanks. Chrissy, though, was up for the task--with patience, kindness and a lot of positive reinforcement. I am constantly amazed at the progress--and I notice a new trick or their skills strengthen every day. Knowing that they have been visited, challenged and cared for makes me feel so much better, too. I have also used Chrissy's animal communication service with each of my dogs. It helped deepen my understanding of my dogs, their needs and how I can help them get back to happy and healthy. I am so grateful for Chrissy!" ~ Melanie S.</image:caption>
