DOG INSTANTLY QUITS JUMPING ON US
"Whenever we walked into the house, our dogs greeted us enthusiastically – but too, enthusiastically. Our 4 year old Portugese Water Dog would jump on us and at us and we just couldn’t seem to break his habit. With Krista’s advice, we learned how to make a calm entrance and when to greet our dogs – and what a difference. I don’t have to brace myself to walk in the door anymore."

SAVED ME AND MY DOGS
I didn’t know what to do. [This] system helped me with all three of my dogs. (One dog was shy, one dog barked too much, and one was way too independent.) Her dog training secrets showed me how to work with each of my 3 very DIFFERENT dogs. (And it was easy to do. Yes!!!)

YOU WILL ENJOY YOUR DOG SO MUCH MORE
“Both of my dogs have been trained using Krista’s methods. Lacey is living proof that Krista’s methods work. When I decided to add her to my pack, I also brought her brother along. So I had two 8-week old Aussie puppies who needed to learn housetraoning.
All of the training that Lacey got paid off big time, because he and her brother were fully housetrained in just 6 weeks. So when they were 14 weeks old, they were fully trained. And I used the same methods when I added Chance, and he learned in just 4 weeks. So at 3 months of age, he was also fully housetrained.
I’ve been telling everyone I know about Krista’s online training course and if you’re not lucky like I am and live close enough where you can drive to her, I really urge you to sign up. You will learn so much, and enjoy your dog so much more if you do.”
Helen, Lacey, and Chance
THE RESULTS WERE LIFE-CHANGING!
"My husband and I have a multi-dog household of terriers. After the youngest became full grown we lived with a divided household because the dogs absolutely could not get along and had to be separated at all times.
If they were together a dogfight was inevitable if not instantaneous.
Krista showed us how to establish loving leadership and how to maintain our positions as leader of the pack on a day-to-day basis.
After carefully following Krista’s instructions I am thrilled to say that we can now allow the dogs to run together.
Seeing this happen for the first time was truly unbelievable!
They actually lay down beside each other just like the lion and the lamb!
I could not believe what my eyes were seeing the first time Krista helped me peacefully reintroduce them to each other!
We are eternally grateful to Krista for restoring peace and calm to our family.
Her methods were gentle and loving and the results were life changing!
Krista’s system truly works and I would recommend it to anyone with dog behavior issues.

I FINALLY UNDERSTAND...
"Krista doesn’t just tell you how to do it… She doesn’t just show you what to do… She involves you. You learn her secrets, 10 second shortcuts, strategies, and tactics… and the psychology behind training dogs. Because of Krista’s advice I finally understand how to love my dogs and be leader of the pack. And it’s so easy..."

MASSIVE BREAKTHROUGH
"I had a massive breakthrough learning from you, Krista. Over the last 30 days, our dogs have gone from out of control to doing what we want. Thanks again."

YOUR SECRETS REALLY WORK! MY DOG LOVES ME EVEN MORE NOW
"Your secrets really work -- my dog loves me even more now. I want to report on how well Buster and my other dog are doing with the new pack leader in the house. [that’s me!] The next morning he was more loving then he has been inmonths! I would never have known how important this “game” was without you making me aware. Thank you!"

YOU ARE A MIRACLE WORKER
"I can’t thank you enough. I think you are a miracle worker. Your guidance helped me look at things from a dog’s point of view and helped me solve problems in a simple way. All I have to say, and my husband agrees, is that the money we paid you was some of the best money we ever invested in Spike.
…It was worth every penny! If I could afford to do it, I would put huge billboards all over town, touting your magical way with dealing with dog/handler issues. It would read:
SAVE THE ANIMALS!

Cognitive Animal Behaviorist & Miracle Worker
Worth the time, worth the drive, and worth the money!"

DRAMATIC CHANGES AFTER JUST ONE LESSON
“I found after just the very first lesson that one of the main issues is my issue of lack of being pack leader, and that’s what I need more than anything. And by following some of the key principles that she has in the videos I really have learned that by being pack leader it doesn’t mean that you’re being the meany, you’re being the assertive person that they’re supposed to look up to.
We walk every single day, we even do six miles a day. Before it was six miles of torture...now we have six miles of sheer pleasure where we’re walking and enjoying it.”

HAVE FUN WALKING YOUR DOG
"I took Teddy out for a walk today. He walked right along beside me, so nice! I did as you suggested. We even walked by the fence where the big black dog is where he usually drags me down the lane. And he stayed right beside me. He didn’t pull to get at other people walking and only lifted his leg when I gave him permission at his favorite telephone pole. It was a little piece of heaven."

SHE QUIT BARKING!
"This morning I opened the doggy door at 9:00am and 30 minutes later Rain heard a noise. She jumped, headed for the doggy door, and started barking… The backyard barking has been an issue. I called her name and she stopped and looked at me, so I gave her a sit command and she sat... I said “stay.” She stayed. It was awesome! I walked over, closed the doggy door, and praised her."

IF IT WASN’T FOR KRISTA, I WOULD HAVE HAD TO GET RID OF MY DOG
“Before I came to Krista I was seriously considering getting rid of Hannah because I was so frustrated I just didn’t understand what I needed to do to work with her. Now hannah and I have a great relationship based on trust and love, and it’s all because of my work with Krista.
Believe it or not this sweet little dog was actually a thief at one time, too. She would jump up on the counters, steal food off the counters, steal our clothes, she toilet papered the inside of our house one time while we were at work. Very frustrating behvaiors. I didn’t know how to fix it. Working with Krista helped me understand what I needed to do to make her a great family member.
At first on our walks she was pulling and dragging and she was in control of the walk. After I started working with Krista she gave me little tips that I could do that only took two or three minutes a day. And it’s those tips that turned Hannah into a great companion and partner when we go for our walks.”

The Best Dog I've Ever Had Thanks to Krista"I came to Krista when we first got Jesse James because Jesse was absolutely afraid of everything.
He was afraid of people, he was afraid of dogs, he was afraid of his own shadow.
He was also very difficult on the leash. Being a border collie and hyperactive and energetic, he just had to have it his way.
After several lessons with Krista, he was a changed dog.
Not only did she work with him, but she worked with me. And that's where the key is -- in learning the connection between you and your dog.
It's simple. It's easy. If I can do it with him, you can do it with your best friend.
Jesse by far is my best dog ever. Thank you, Krista!"
