    I brought my dog to Good Foundations to work on his dog reactivity and he is so much improved! She really listened to my concerns and was able to work with both of us. My dog has gone from super reactive to basically all dogs to living happily with another male and barely reacting even when on leash.

    We have two boys who would fight occasionally when one got grumpy and the other wouldnt leave him alone. We called good foundations and she was able to schedule us within the week for a meet and greet (free and in our home!). We had 4 training sessions in which she patiently explained to me the problems, and the tools we can use to fix them. She was super kind and always comfortable with the boys even when they were rowdy. Her methods work wonders and now we have two happy pups :) shes knowledgeable and kind and helpful, worth every penny. I highly recommend good foundations to anyone looking for dog training, whether its for problem pups or just general obedience training. Shes fantastic and communicative and we couldnt have found someone better!

    I got in a little over my head with my first puppy who ended up being way harder to train than I thought. We met with Christine for puppy training and she taught us all the techniques to help give us that solid foundation and early skills to get some control. Christine was very nice and understanding and was also very good at pointing out the mistakes we were making without making us feel like we were failing. I would definitely recommend Good Foundations to anyone with dog training needs!

    Christine is wonderful! She gave us so much hope when we first met her. Our dog wasn't used to kids, and had a BIG reason that needed to change ASAP. She made us believe that our old dog COULD learn some new tricks, and we now have confidence in our ability to keep our dog happy and our family and guests safe. We highly recommend her!

    Christine was awesome!! Saw incredible improvements with my new puppy through 4 sessions. She was very flexible in scheduling and helped with adjusting him to his new life. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to train their new dog!

    Christine, from Good Foundations , came to our home to help us train our one year old , very active, independent , Mini goldendoodle, Arnie. Christine was so patient and kind, not only with Arnie, but with us-as new puppy owners. We learned so much from her and will continue to use the techniques that she taught us. We appreciate her great love and knowledge of animals and especially the care and time she put into our family to make Arnie feel safe, happy and content. We look forward to more classes with Christine and Selena In the future. If you are on the fence, wondering if you should try obedience classes, do it! It is money well spent!

    Christine does a great job of helping people understand their dog to help with any behavior issues!

    Christine was awesome with my 2 1/2 year old golden. I had him in obedience classes since he was 8 weeks old, but still struggled with basic manners...like jumping up on people and dragging me when he wanted to get near a person he saw.

    Christine tailors her sessions to the specific needs of the dog, amd does not use a cookie-cutter approach. She had us meet in real life environments so she could see and evaluate how my dog was behaving, and based on those observations, made specific training recommendations. Don't hesitate to invest in her training...definitely money well spent!

    After just one session with Christine my Boston Terrier (and my ability as a dog owner) improved with just a few simple techniques. My dog gets super excited when people visit the house and now we have a very easy way to temper that behavior without having to lock her away. It's worked time and time again! Did I mention that my dog is 12 years old? Whoever said you can't teach an old dog new tricks hasn't met Christine.

    Christine is very patient and knowledgeable. She has incredibly good communication skills and I recommend her to anyone with the need for dog behavior help.

    Roger, my 1.5 year old 50 pound mix of boxer and ridgeback, and I love Christine. She has been wonderful in both private and group sessions. Her advice for my problem area (Roger gets a whiff of fresh air and grass and turns into a whirlwind of energy) has been right on target. Her strategies have me in control and Roger a much better canine citizen. Love when we are walking and I use her techniques and others comment on how well-behaved he is. Would highly recommend Christine!

    Good Foundations has given me great advice on keeping my dogs off of certain carpeting in the house! Life saver!

    Could not recommend more highly. Our crazy puppy May is so well trained after attending training here. Dog owners, this is the spot!

    Christine provided a wealth of professional expertise and experience as well as patience and encouragement. What more could a senior rescue pit bull mix (and her "mom" ask?)

    Christine is awesome! After just 4 lessons my terrier Sadie is making great strides in learning how to behave when someone comes to the door. I’m thrilled! She went from being fairly aggressive to being quiet and simply interested in new people...tail wagging.

    I had a great experience with Good Foundations. Christine is the real deal - she is super knowledgeable about dog behavior, and is able to communicate training principles in an understandable and practical way. My 3-year-old dog has some issues with fear and aggression, and I signed him up for the package of seven private lessons plus four group lessons. We did the first four private lessons at Christine's home, then did three more in public places so my dog could practice meeting people and not freaking out. He is noticeably improved after just a few months, and I feel confident that I can continue using the training methods on my own (Christine makes clear that training is an ongoing process, not a quick fix).

    I also did a set of eight agility lessons with Selina, which was incredibly fun! My dog seems more confident now, and it was a great way for us to bond and communicate in a new way. Selina is a great trainer and instructor, and knows a lot about agility! Since doing the agility lessons, I find that I am better at communicating with my dog and understanding him. I originally thought it would just be a fun thing to do for a few weeks, but I had so much fun that now I'm thinking about competing in the future!

    A bit expensive, but worth every penny if you can afford it! My dog absolutely adores Christine and Selina, and seems to have really enjoyed training with them!
