“It is so refreshing to be in a class where the whole lesson flows so splendidly. Not to mention Chris instructs us right up until – and often beyond, the last minutes of the class. There is never a dull moment and even when Chris is informing someone who needs a little extra assistance in… Continue reading Mary & Poppy
“Chris has knowledge that seems limitless, and her dedication is exemplory. It is such a joy to have that really close relationship with your dog, where they work for you and respect your authority. Izzy is a happy, obedient dog, and Dexter is growing up to be the same. Thank you Chris!”
