Manners For Your Mutts Dog Training

My husband and I decided to rescue a male Schipperke mix and realized right away that he needed some additional training. We found Chris's website and contacted her and so very glad that we did! She is VERY experienced in training of every sort - show dogs, agility and just plain basic commands and behavior modification. She is also kind, gentle and loving with her dogs, and they respond accordingly. I can't recommend her enough; watching her interact with our dog was amazing, and he responded beautifully to her lessons. She taught us a lot about dog behavior and are grateful! Don't hesitate to contact Chris, you'll be glad that you did!

Chris is a fantastic dog trainer (and people trainer). She helped us train our new dog Jaco. He is now a good canine citizen. We highly recommend Chris to other dog owners. She knows her stuff. It was a very positive experience for all of us!

I highly recommend Chris! She was so very informative and kind to me and my reactive pitt-mix. We met up for our two initial appointments and even a few months later Chris was kind enough to meet me for a third appointment at no extra fee to help me further. Chris gave me great tools to help me give confidence back to my dog and I'm forever grateful for that.

We adopted an older dog from my mother in law, who passed about a year ago. Neither of us are “dog people” so we needed some help. In a nutshell, our dog has a great disposition, but he’s never really been trained. We had some behavioral problems and sought out Chris to give us a hand. Honestly, she was great and just what we needed. After listening to our issues with him, she gave us a number of things to try. Between the two visits, we incorporated nearly all of them and have seen substantial improvement in only 2 weeks! We strongly recommend Chris. She’s very knowledgeable, personable and helped us a lot. Money well spent. Thanks Chris

Chris is an absolute gift to both dogs and the humans trying to keep up with them. She's a fantastic communicator—clear, calm, and genuinely invested—and her knowledge runs deep without ever feeling overwhelming. Our dog, Lola, adored her from the first moment, and honestly, we’re a little jealous of how quickly she bonded with Chris. The guidance, theory, and practical tips she shared were spot-on, and her coaching during our sessions made everything click in real time. If you want a trainer who’s friendly, skilled, and able to translate dog-logic into human English, Chris is the one. Lola’s manners leveled up… and ours might have, too.

Chris was wonderful to work with! I adopted a very timid labradoodle puppy and Chris not only taught me how to train him all basic commands, but also gave me advice on how to make him more confident. He’s so enjoyable to be around now, he listens, isn’t fearful and I’m more confident in myself as a dog-owner. 10/10 recommend

Chris was the best trainer not only for my female Akita named Siskiyou but also for me. She gave me the confidence to walk my dog. We just completed the one month follow up. Any questions I had, Chris was only a phone call/ text away. She was very helpful and this was the best decision, I made for me and Siskiyou. If you need a dog trainer please reach out to Manners for your Mutts. I'm happy Siskiyou now has an "Auntie Chris" in her life.

Chris made it easy to work with my energetic pup and was able to find time whenever I had to reschedule. She is a great trainer.

I can’t recommend Christine’s dog training service enough! From the very first session, it was clear that Christine has an exceptional understanding of both dogs and their owners. Her approach is gentle yet effective, and she tailors each lesson to fit the unique needs of your dog. Our dog, Honey May has made incredible progress since starting training with Christine. She focuses on positive reinforcement and clear communication, which has helped us build a stronger bond with our dog while addressing some behavioral issues. What stands out most is Christine’s patience and ability to explain techniques in a way that’s easy to follow. The results have been amazing — not only is our dog more obedient, but we’ve also learned valuable skills that will keep up the progress long-term. Christine’s knowledge, kindness, and commitment to her clients make her a standout in the world of dog training. If you’re looking for a professional, reliable, and effective trainer, look no further than Christine!

My experience with Chris was top tier for a few reasons. Her 6 step training program showed results in my pups in under a month, and Chris maintained a degree of professional flexibility that worked well with my schedule all for a very reasonable price. I highly suggest working with Christine if you don't know the first thing about dogs, or if you're an expert. Chris knows what she is doing and has the accolades to prove it!
