There are not enough stars to give…

There are not enough stars to give #kristithetrainer for the support, training, and guidance she's given our pup, Dexer, AND us!! From the moment I spoke with Frank about the program, I knew they were thorough and knew their stuff. The countless questions, onboarding coordination, and attention to detail, it was 5 stars all the way!We had issues with Dex controlling his excitement. This led to pulling on the leash, jumping on people, and nipping when he got excited. We were desperate when we found them, to say the least!#kristithetrainer deserves a million stars! She sent us countless videos, photos, and training videos of Dex along the way. She kept us up to date on both fun and important things along his journey. When we picked him up, she spent as much time as we needed making sure we were comfortable and solid before bringing him home. And in the days following, she provided unbelievable support and words of encouragement.3 months ago we were considering rehoming Dex, heartbroken that he was just not a fit for our family. Today, he is thriving! He is going to doggy daycare, playing with other pups, safe within our home, etc. #kristithetrainer gave us tools to ensure that we are comfortable and Dex has the support he needs at home.I am happy to report that he has not jumped on one person since being home! He actually has patience. He hardly pulls on a leash, and that's only the real anomaly when he's VERY excited and immediately listens when I correct. He actually knows when he does something wrong now and even puts himself on a timeout in his crate when he knows Mom's upset. ;)If you are considering a trainer for ANY reason for your pup, you are in the best hands imaginable with #kristithetrainer and The Middle Paw! We not only now have a dog with manners, that we have control over, but he was loved greatly along the path of training. It's more than we could have wished for!

How do you spell Dog whisperer..?

How do you spell Dog whisperer..?? KRISTI that's how! From day one Kris is amazing with my fur baby, Daisy. She has a way of explaining things to make it easy to do and remember. Now if I could get Kris to train Daisy's humans to be more consistent!!! LolGreat place, great people. I highly recommend! Thank you Kristi 😊

Magic w our special needs girl!!

We unexpectedly found our pack of 2 grow to a pack of 3 - we rescued a double-Merle, deaf and partially blind Aussie mix (also GSD and Malinois). A spunky, happy and high energy girl but was born needing some extra care, attention, and training. This is when we found #kristithetrainer! Our young special needs girl Moxie was testing boundaries with our very large (and very patient) Shiloh Shepherd which caused some dust ups. We had both of them stay with Kristi (Sedona for a couple weeks and Moxie for a month) and OHHHHH MAN were so glad we made that decision. She not only did amazing work in the girls’ dynamic but also really helped Mox and catered to her unique special needs. Mox has sign language down, follows instruction, etc. and has gained a ton of confidence because of Kristi’s training. We were so impressed that we’ve continued using #kristithetrainer for going on 3 years now - wouldn’t use anyone else!

Phenomenal Dog Trainer

Kristin changed my big dog 117 pounds St Weiler. He had a very fearful and aggressive side when he was puppy. Could not socialize outside family. She was able to break his bad behavior and today he is very loving guy. Thank you again Kristin#kristithetrainer
