Sirius Confidence

Christie has helped me with my three dogs, each with their own unique personality and issues to overcome. She teaches with patience, upholds a professional yet gentle approach, and explains the “why” behind the method so we can have a deeper understanding of, and connection to, our dogs. I am so grateful for the guidance I have received from Christie and Sirius Confidence!

Christie was an incredible source of knowledge for us while we fostered a dog. Our foster was scratching at the back door and having a hard time understanding commands and adjusting to her crate. After a few days we noticed a huge difference in our foster and she was adopted shortly after. I am so thankful for her patience with us navigating helping our foster. She helped give this dog a bright future!

I have met with a handful of people claiming to be “certified trainers” or behaviorists, and NO ONE has worked with my girls with the compassion, patience, and understanding Christie has! Beware of “trainers” jumping to domination and physical means to train (ei, holding down, pinch collars, etc… my dogs are 6 and 8 lbs! I had one trainer put a pinch collar on my 6 lb pup, and smother hold (“pin”) down my 8 lb to get her to stop barking!). Christie has helped me understand how to connect with my girls, win the philosophy that we want to teach them to make the right decisions, not just obey us. She has extensive knowledge on not only training, but helping make them feel safe, self soothe, and work into things like easier grooming. Training is not a one hour a week thing, and she helps you w

Christie was amazing with our 2 year old red heeler, highly recommend her!
