We had such an amazing experience working with Krissy! Our sweet pitbull, Moka, was struggling with leash reactivity and a lot of built-up emotions whenever we encountered other dogs. It was stressful and disheartening at times, but Krissy’s calm, supportive, and knowledgeable approach made all the difference. She took the time to really understand Moka’s behavior and helped us see things from his perspective. The tools and techniques Krissy taught us were gentle, effective, and empowering—not just for Moka, but for us as dog parents, too. We’ve seen a huge improvement and feel more confident as dog parents. What we loved most is that Krissy never made us feel judged or overwhelmed. Her compassion—for both the dog and the humans—sets her apart. We’re so grateful to have found her and wou

Krissy has been a very important part of my dog’s growth from a shut down and fearful rescue who was afraid of everything and everyone (except other dogs) to a happy dog who is excited to play, learn and experience all she can. I am very thankful to have found a dog trainer that matches the needs of both my dog and myself. Absolutely recommend Krissy and Meditating Mutt!

My pup, Finley, and I adore Krissy! She is so experienced with providing training and care for dogs that it puts me at ease with every interaction. Reliable, punctual, thoughtful, calm and loving approach. Enjoying our journey together - thank you Krissy!

We’ve been working with Krissy from The Meditating Mutt to train our dog Bruno, and she’s been absolutely incredible. From day one, she’s brought a calm, clear, and structured approach that’s made a huge difference—not just in Bruno’s behavior, but in how we communicate with him. She takes the time to explain the “why” behind everything, which makes us feel confident and capable, not just like we’re following steps. Bruno is more focused, less reactive, and clearly enjoys the sessions. Krissy’s not just great with dogs—she’s great with people too. If you’re looking for a dog trainer who’s smart, professional, and actually gets results, Krissy’s the one.

I can’t recommend Krissy at The Meditating Mutt enough. From the moment she walked into our home, she put both us and our anxious dog Minnie at ease. Krissy has a calm, grounded presence and a deep understanding of dog behavior that goes far beyond basic obedience training. Her approach is focused on building trust and communication between dog and human, and has helped us understand Minnie through a much more empathetic lens. After each session, she followed up with incredibly thoughtful, personalized notes that made everything easy to reference — from training games to strategies for managing overstimulation, resource guarding, and separation anxiety. It’s clear she truly cares about both the dog’s emotional wellbeing and the owner’s confidence. We’ve already started seeing small shift
