Crystina comes to us as a trainer after being a long time friend and client of ours. She and her wonderful Belgian malinois came in and aced many of our classes and we couldn’t resist to ask her to come on board with us. Crystina started out with a highly reactive doberman and was largely self taught on her path to handling this common issue. She’s skilled in balance training and loves to work on trick training and formal obedience skills. Crystina is always eager to grow as a trainer, the love of dogs is clear in her day to day.
