  No matter how bad you think your dog is, or how desperate you feel, don't give up - call Christina!! My husband and I thought we were on a runaway train, but Christina showed us that wasn't true. She taught us that anything can be solved with patience, positive reinforcement and awareness. We could not be more grateful for her (our dog agrees!!). Our rescue dog, Fiona, came to us terrified, distrusting, and extremely canine/animal aggressive. On every outing, her head was on a swivel and she constantly strained on the leash. If she so much as heard a collar jingle, Fiona would immediately puff up and start to growl and strain toward the dog. We tried to avoid those situations and did the best we could based on what we'd learned after working with a trainer. The final straw - and when we thought we might have to give up Fiona - was when she bit a puppy in our building. After that, we called Christina, and it is the best decision we'd ever made. Christina worked miracles. She helped Fiona go from a safety liability to a calmer, more confident dog who is able to walk without so much as a second glance at other pups (she doesn't even care about other dogs in close proximity in the vet's waiting room!). We're feel that that the work she's done has saved Fiona's life. Throughout the process, Christina has helped my husband and I as much as she did Fiona. She is a phenomenal and patient teacher, and has instilled in us the confidence and skill set to continue Fiona's rehabilitation on our own (we are reassured to know that she's merely a text or call away if we need her, of course). We cannot thank her enough!!

  My husband and I are forever grateful for meeting Christina. She helped both of our rescue dogs so much. One of our dogs was abused and as such is very fearful of pretty much everything, especially strangers. She would lunge and try to bite every person on the street during walks and had unfortunately bitten many of our friends when they came over to visit. Christina was a miracle-worker for Stella. Stella really liked Christina and slowly began to regain trust in people. It has been over two years and she hasn't bitten anyone since. We use all of the tools that Christina gave us to help rehabilitate her and couldn't be happier. Christina also helped our other dog, Shoko, with her guarding issues and her reactivity. I only wish that we still lived in the city so that we could continue seeing Christina!!

  Not a day goes by when my husband, pup, and I don't appreciate all the incredible things we've learned from Christina. We adopted an incredibly sweet, yet reactive and abused dog about a year ago from the Animal Care and Control Center in NYC. Our dog is very high energy and showed some signs of aggression and we were quite overwhelmed. She is incredibly strong, and we felt like we were walking out in public with an animal we weren't sure we could safely control, yet we cared so much for her and were committed to her. Christina to the rescue. Her intelligence, sense of humor, up-beat attitude and brilliant insights helped us understand our dog and provide her with what she needs to be happy and healthy, and safe. Christina also clearly cares about our dog. We feel like we had a big therapy session as a family that lasts after each visit. And we are doing so well with our dog now, and always getting better. What a gift to those of us in this challenging situation. We are looking forward to our next bunch of sessions and I can't recommend her enough.

  I adopted a heavily abused puppy who had a number of issues to work through. I went to 4 different trainers who all used the standard alpha method and they all failed miserably. One even told me that my dog needs a muzzle and a shock collar. I felt beaten down thought there was no hope and then someone recommended Christina and NY Clever K9. At first I was not a believer but over time she gave my dog and I the tools needed to be successful and my dog overcame all of his issues. He is a changed dog and I would recommend her to anyone having any issues with their dog no matter how severe. Seriously, look no further! Christina performs miracles and I can not tell you how many compliments I get on how well behaved my dog is. THANK YOU!

  Rosie, our rescue pit bull, is a changed dog thanks to Christina. In August we adopted Rosie, who at the time was estimated to be 2 1/2 years old. Soon thereafter we observed she was severely dog aggressive. Could dog aggression be treated, were pit bulls as dangerous as rumored to be and was she safe to keep, especially with our 17 month old son? We scoured the NYC area for a reputable and very experienced dog behaviorist until we came across Christina... and thank goodness we did! In only 8 weeks, Rosie went from a dog that lurched, lunged and barked at every passing dog (to the extent that we had to walk around cars to avoid dogs on sidewalks) to a dog that could pass a pack of dogs barely noticing. Christina is an incredible behaviorist and completely rehabilitated her by teaching us, Rosie's owners, how to use positive, reward based training (in carefully planned out stages) to change Rosie's psychology of other dogs. It was amazing and not something my husband or I thought possible. We also can't thank Christina enough for educating us on how misunderstood pit bulls are and showing us how wonderful they can be, both inside and outside the house, Rosie is an amazing, affectionate, beautiful dog.
