Peace At Home
Deep-Dive
Are your dogs fighting at home?
Is your home life stressful? Always watching in case a fight breaks out, or constantly managing so one doesn't? Living with dogs who fight is hard. It sucks for everyone involved, but it doesn't have to stay that way!
I have lived, with and trained many dogs who have big feelings and it can be very tricky. It's not as simple as just sitting them down and having a talk about their feelings =) I have tried and true skills and techniques to help restore peace, to keep everyone safe, and to rebuild relationships between dogs and even between you and your dogs.
And you probably noticed.. the picture here is of two toothy dogs playing, not fighting. Best friends!

What People Are Saying
Oh my goodness, Christina’s knowledge and approach to dogs is exactly what I have been searching for. Her course gave me a lot of hope, and I feel less alone.
You were a wealth of information and my hundreds of hours researching on the internet and YouTube did not even come close to the advice you gave us so I am so appreciative of you.
Watching her continuously make good decisions feels great. I feel very fortunate to be able to get so much help from you. I wouldn't have gotten here without you. Seriously. I can't emphasize enough the difference you have helped make for us.
Hey There, I'm Christina!
I have been working with reactive dogs and intra-household aggression for almost 30 years. I tend to be a sucker for the special needs dogs so I have ended up living with quite a few reactive dogs. Plus, I have done years of special needs fostering and over the last 12 years I have been helping my many wonderful students and their dogs. I would love to have you join our community!
My Secret Sauce? There are no recipes. What you need isn't exactly the same as what another person needs. What your dogs need isn't exactly the same as what another person's dogs need. This small group will give us the space and time to figure out what each team needs. I care just as much about people as I do about dogs, and I really want to make things easier for you and for your dogs.
Plus! You will see how other teams are implementing similar games for their challenges. This will give you the information and confidence you need to adjust your plan as your dogs learn and their needs change.
Alright, so what's it cost?
$849CDN for 8 weeks of instruction and lifetime access to the materials

The Nitty-Gritty
- Weekly LIVE Deep-Dive Group Coaching - I will have a topic to discuss and will answer any questions you have. If you can't make it, you can submit questions ahead of time, and yes you will be able to watch the recording later.
- Small Community: Hosted in a PRIVATE Facebook Group, this will just be us. I will check in daily Tues to Saturday, but who are we kidding .. I'll often be around on the other days too.
- Video Lessons - I have most of the games we will play as video tutorials and will post the relevant lessons as you are ready for them.
- When (or if) you post your homework, I will review your videos and provide feedback. Videos should be kept to under 2 minutes (I will watch only the first 2 minutes). You can submit up to five 2-minute videos per day.
- Once the 8 weeks are up, I may pop into the group on occasion, but I won't be watching videos or providing feedback. You will continue to have access to all of the material as long as Facebook continues to host the group.

Does my location matter?
Absolutely not. This course is 100% on-line. This means you can walk your dog when your schedule and the weather allow rather than trying to make it to a specific time and location each week.
