Peachtree dog training has shaped my dog's life in so many ways. While traveling from Memphis TN I had my first consultation with the owner Christina when my female chow Lozi was only a few months old. She guided us as a household on how to stop Lozi's food aggression, toy aggression and general non-compliance. That was four years ago so I don't have too many other details except that Christina started us out great. I had little experience as a dog owner and she instilled some key guidelines for my family and Lozi. Lozi is a well adjusted chow with ZERO aggression issues with other dogs, people or cats. I have people ask me all the time "Aren't chows supposed to be mean?", because she's so sweet and friendly. BUT at four years old Lozi had very poor recall. She is such a independent dog and smart, as soon as she is off leash she will bolt. I've missed hours of work in the past because she slipped out the door and I had to chase her down. She would run in front of cars and keep running till she ran out of energy. I finally went back to Christina 2 months ago. After a few training sessions Lozi has a different life. I have lost her leash because she rarely needs it now! She comes immediately when I call her and she is able to run and play outside of fenced areas like never before. Lozi has freedom I've never been able to safely give her till now. She's a happier dog and I could cry from relief. I highly recommend Peachtree Dog Training. Their level of compassion for owners that just want to help their dogs is unlike any other training I've been to, there is no comparison. read more

A short week or so after we got our Mountain Feist puppy Bella, I scoured the internet for a good place to help us train the newest member of our family. I cannot tell you what a miracle it was to find Christina & Peachtree dog training. She just cares so much and always takes the time to go over any of our questions. (And as new puppy parents, we had a crap ton of questions!) One of the best things is that Peachtree Dog Training offers commitment-based dog training and we now have a "trainer on retainer". We couldn't be happier with the amazing progress our dog has made on the puppy program. It was such a wonderful experience with Christina since we identified the things we wanted to accomplish and made a plan of how to get there. We have a well behaved puppy and now with the knowledge we have gained from Christina (and our training manual) she will become a well behaved DOG! They are amazing and Christina is such a joy to work with! On top of that, she has a great personality and is an awesome trainer! She's very down to earth and so easy to discuss things with! Highly recommended and will continue to do so with anyone I meet! Christina and the program at Peachtree dog training is not only the best value for your hard-earned dollars but you also gain the peace of mind you have a trainer that wants to see your dog achieve the goals you set at your first meeting just as much as you do. Don't hesitate to call them and start your puppy on the right path today! read more

In December of 2013 I rescued a very loving and energetic and even more stubborn 10 month old Australian Cattle Dog. I had a very easy to handle dog already and thought another would be just as easy. I was wrong. He would chew anything that he could reach. He didn't know his own strength and would bowl over anyone in his path. He would jump on and nip at anyone who just wanted to pet him. I tried things that worked on my other dog plus other techniques I had read about, but nothing worked. I found Peachtree Dog Training online and set up a consultation. On the first visit Christina had my dog calmly responding to commands. And she showed me how to handle him better so that he would respond the same way to me. After a few months of Christina's training, I had a very well behaved, playful dog that even obeys my 8 year old son. The best thing about working with Christina is that she works to train you and your dog. She is always helpful and spends as much time as she needs to make sure that you and your dog are happy. I learned how to better handle my dog, and we are both happier for it. I continued to apply the techniques that Christina taught me on a regular basis and today I have a dog that we can leave alone in our house where before we could not even leave him in a room alone for 5 seconds without him chewing/destroying something. read more

I had brought my Lab, Jessi, to other trainers to deal with her hyperactivity and her sudden leash aggression. Each one of the trainers and their packages did not give me the permanent results I wanted. I was starting to think I could never bring my girl to Piedmont Park again, in fear of her snapping at another dog, or even a person, while walking on the leash. Christina changed all of that for me. She gave me the proper learning tools and instructions to become a leader in my home again. At the first lesson, I saw a changed dog, but then I wondered if it would last. We then worked more and eventually took my dog out to a public spot with joggers, people walking their dogs, et al. I could NOT believe how calm my dog was, and still is! Jessi has been terrific since, with no growling, barking or lunging on the leash. Now that I can take her out without any worries, she has been getting more exercise which has helped even more with her hyperness! Christina has brought Jessi and I closer together, and I can tell how much happier she is! I HIGHLY recommend Peachtree Dog Training! read more

Christina and Peachtree Dog Training were incredible for us. We were having such difficulty with our new dog, and didn't think we would ever get his anxiety and food aggression under control. She was so patient in working with us, not to mention so flexible in meeting us in our own home when we were available. The best part of her training is that the focus was entirely on teaching us how to train our dog, not her doing everything and having the dog learn to obey her. By having us practice and learn all of the techniques, we both became much more confident, and the results certainly show with our dog! She was always happy to schedule another session to repeat something we were having trouble with, or to add on an extra skill we wanted to work on. We could not have had a better experience with Christina and will forever recommend her to anyone. Her help and training are worth every penny and 100x more. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Christina and Peachtree Dog Training! I have an 11 year old Jack Russell that has so much anxiety and dog/leash aggression that she was recently put on Prozac. I had so much stress while walking her and was embarrassed in the neighborhood because I know that's not the dog she really was. We avoided even getting within eyesight of other dogs... Christina made time for us as soon as we called and after the first lesson I felt bad for not having called and started earlier. She knew exactly what we needed and here we are several weeks later and I look for opportunities to take Emma out! She came to us and worked with Emma in her own environment which helped so much. Emma has made SO much progress and we're both stress free and much happier. If you're shopping around or even thinking about calling, just do it! read more

We contacted Christina to help us get our two young Weimaraners under control due to the fact that we have a baby on the way. Our boys are good boys, we just needed them to calm down and look to/obey us in certain situations in which otherwise they would be out of control (barking, jumping etc). Christina was very good in working with us on number and length of sessions. She was always very kind and professional, she even offered to help us again with any issues that might arise after the baby comes! After several training sessions, our boys are now more calm, obedient and overall more of a pleasure to interact with. They know what they should and shouldn't be doing, and I would say their behavior has improved by at least 85%. Thank you Christina for your help, we really appreciate it and highly recommend your services! read more

My partner and I signed up with Christina to get some help training our 2 dogs and we are so happy we did. They had a range of issues from aggression with other dogs/people to complete panic and destruction during storms and fireworks. The methods Christina teaches really gets control of the dogs and creates a much more relaxed environment both inside and out of the house. The best part about the training and why I originally called is that she comes to you for the training. It can be daunting to go to a group training when your dog is super aggressive with other dogs. This way we were able to first learn how to manage the dogs in stressful situations before putting ourselves and our dogs to the test. Can't recommend enough and we are so glad she continues to help you for as long as you feel necessary! read more

Christina is a miracle worker!!!! I recently got a puppy from Fulton County, and was in over my head. Thankfully I saw Christina's name in my local coffee shop, she saved my sanity. Luna had several puppy issues, jumping, going to the bathroom in the house, pulling on her leash, barking at other dogs, and food aggression. Christina has been working with us over the last month and it's like I have a new dog. She used balanced reward-based training method that set Luna up for success. She was able to get Luna under control and show me humane, and effective techniques on how to be a leader. What I most appreciated is that I felt like she really listened to what I needed, and that Luna was always so happy to see her. I will continue to use her and recommend her to all of my friends! read more

We are so appreciative of Christina for helping us to work with our 2 year old German Shepherd. Kona struggled with walking, recall, and most of all inappropriate responding to people and other dogs in public and in home. Christina has all the great qualities of a trainer...professional, approachable, client-centered, passionate, flexible and dedicated. It's amazing how much Kona has improved but even more amazing how confident we feel in being able to set Kona up for success and continual improvement. Christina does a great job of helping you work through any discomfort and challenges in the training process which is crucial, especially in the initial stages if training is new to you and your dog. ~Tim, Jaclyn, Kona read more

Christina has been a tremendous help with my Shepard/Rottweiler mix fur baby. Matilda was having a ton of aggression with other dogs and sometimes people. It was constantly on my mind and I thought I may have to find her a new home. I did my research of local dog trainers and Peachtree Dog Training stood out. Choosing to go with Christina was the best decision I could have made. Matilda has improved drastically with the skills that Christina had given me. I loved that she worked starting at the roots of the problem and not just working on the problem itself. Also, it's humbling knowing that if Matilda develops future problems, she is just one call away. I highly recommend her and you won't be sorry! read more

Our rescue pup is an absolute sweetheart but was very high energy and did not listen. After the first training session with Christina there was a totally positive and noticeable difference in his behavior. The tips and training she gave us has allowed us to continue working with our pup and these days he's doing wonderfully. We loved that Christina is really interested in spending time with her clients. We never felt rushed or like we were on the clock during our sessions. She always listened to our concerns and our numerous questions with the utmost respect. We are so incredibly grateful for her help and will be using her for any future training needs. read more

Although Christina is a dog behavioral trainer in Georgia, I got the privilege to train with her in Delaware. The work I have seen Christina do with the "Tough Case" dogs as well as the "Easier to Train" dogs is quite amazing! Christina is a highly competent dog trainer, Soft spoken, she seems to be able to communicate very well with owners, and I have seen her compassion for each dog and the families she worked with. If you are looking for a dog trainer, that knows what your dog is thinking and how to turn your dog's behavior around, look no further you have found Christina @ Peachtree Dog Training!! I highly recommend Peachtree Dog Training! read more

Like a lot of families, we fell in love with our rescue mutt the first time we saw her. However, due to her background she came with many issues: jumping, food aggression, and aggression/fear responses to men. Christina was a godsend during this adjustment period. She has a near-magical way with dogs, and we noticed improvement quickly. Her balanced reward training system was easy on both us and our pooch, and probably spared me a number of grey hairs as a result. A problem dog became a much-loved part of the family, and we have Christina to thank for it. I'd recommend her services to anyone-she's a miracle worker. read more

Christina is astounding. We were having the hardest time with our two big dogs and they set up such an easy routine for us to follow to start making the two dogs more comfortable and secure in the home without walking all over us! We were at a total loss before Christina's help. Always on time, accommodating and judgement free when I expressed our issues with the dogs. Not once did Christina make us feel like we were bad owners, they helped us see we just had the wrong tools and our lives have been so much better with the training. Thank you! read more

I strongly recommend this company! Christina came to my home to consult me on my dog Ash. The booking process was simple and easy, Christina was very flexible to Ash's specific needs and my unique schedule. Ash went from being the biggest pain in the butt to walk with to a great walking partner! Christina reassured me the whole process and explained things in a way that made sense with expertise. This was my first time using a dog training service but I would definitely book again!! :D read more

We called Christina after our lab's dog aggression got worse in our new apartment and her training turned everything around!! Christina was fantastic and our dog's behavior improved drastically within just the first week! Now months out, we get compliments on our dog's behavior everywhere we take him. Her training helped not only with his aggression, but his everyday obedience and energy levels. Couldn't thank her enough and would recommend her training to anyone! read more

Christina helped us with our very challenging dog, Phoebe. Phoebe had food aggression and resource guarding issues. Christina was very calm, and totally un-phased by her aggressive behavior. She gave great tools to use with our dog, who is much calmer, relaxed at eating times and very good on the leash now. read more
