Trainer Profile: Christine M. Young

Hi! I’m Christine Young, your trusted puppy training expert. With over 25 years of experience, I began my journey training horses before shifting my focus to dogs. Now, I bring a wealth of knowledge, passion, and proven methods to help you and your puppy succeed. Puppies under six months grow and develop at an astonishing pace. This critical window is your opportunity to teach them essential life skills. These early lessons shape their behavior, build confidence, and lay the foundation for a lifetime of happiness together.
By my side is Pekoe, my 9-year-old Mini-Aussie, who helps socialize puppies and demonstrate good behavior. Together, we’ve guided over 1,000 pet parents, using reward-based training methods that are innovative, motivational, and practical. You’ll love the process as much as the results: a well-trained, confident dog who can join you anywhere life takes you.
Together, we’ll achieve your goals, such as:
Potty training and containment solutions
Puppy biting and chewing fixes
Loose leash walking and reliable recall
Socialization and confidence building
Advanced skills and real-world manners
Training isn’t just about teaching commands; it’s about creating a well-behaved, social dog who can thrive in any environment. What are your real-world training goals? Let’s make them happen!
