About Cristina

Professional training to help your dog thrive

My love for dogs truly began seven years ago when I welcomed my first Labrador, Ollie. I was instantly amazed by the profound bond she formed with my husband. The emotional support she provided was a genuine lifesaver for him.

Today I share my life with my second dog, Maya, and we compete in agility together.
