Kristina’s kind and gentle ways allowed us to see our little Oscar’s fear and big feelings. She guided us on force free ways to help him together. We are now on our way to a successful life together with Oscar. Thank you Kristina!

We have an anxious dog that has historically required full sedation for vet exams and blood draws. When our vet recommended we reach out to Kristina to see if she could help, I was admittedly skeptical that there was anything that could be done. I felt like we had tried everything. I was wrong! Kristina has been patient, thorough, and knowledgeable. She advocated for the right pre-vet medications and worked with me on muzzle training and cues to keep our nervous pup’s attention. With her help, we recently had a hugely successful vet visit- blood draw and all!

My husband and I have had quite a bit of experience with dogs over the years but when the youngest and newest of our four dogs started to display some signs of aggression we got in touch with Kristina. Kristina responded to our initial inquiry right away and we set up an introductory call. From the beginning, I was impressed with how well she listened to our concerns. Kristina is a wealth of knowledge in terms of explaining why behaviors are happening and what the approach to correction might look like. We are 100% on board with the fear free mentality and felt that Kristina would be a wonderful fit for what we needed. Our sessions with Kristina took place in her facility, at our home, and also via zoom. There was great strategy and benefit to all of these sessions. Kristina offered so many suggestions for behavior modification related to all four of our dogs. As with any training, time and repetition that is spent by the dog parent truly makes the difference with the knowledge that Kristina gives. I will be recommending Kristina’s Critters to everyone I know. Investing in a quality trainer is truly one of the best things a person can do for their dog(s).
