What people are saying.

  • "No matter what the “quirk” of your pup is she has probably dealt with it at some point. "

    "Christina is amazing, she always answers and responds to my questions quickly.

    She is eager to listen to my needs and find a solution. She has a very vast knowledge base she can pull from.

    No matter what the “quirk” of your pup is she has probably dealt with it at some point. She also does a great job giving us humans encouraging words when we are getting frustrated with our pups and their quirks.

    Can’t say enough about her! Very helpful and knowledgeable in a no judgement way. My husband has now taken to saying “well what does Christina say” when we are training our new pup. Highly recommend."

  • "I highly recommend Advantage Dog Training and Christina Coughlin for any dog behavior issues!"

    "I was an adoption counselor for Pet OverPopulation Prevention and Christina has donated hours upon hours training POPP foster dogs to help them get ready for adoption. Her technique is very gentle and subtle and the dogs respond so well! I’ve experienced great progress in just a couple of sessions!

    I highly recommend Advantage Dog Training and Christina Coughlin for any dog behavior issues!

    Thank you, Christina, for all your help!"

  • "Christina will spend as much time as it takes to get things done right without getting frustrated with the dog or with the owner."

    "As a great dog trainer, Christina is able to explain directions and answer their client's questions with kindness and positivity.

    Changing a dog's behavior takes time, energy, and a lot of hard work. Christina will spend as much time as it takes to get things done right without getting frustrated with the dog or with the owner.

    After working with her for several years, I can firmly say she's patient, has a sense of humor, creative, and is confident in the work she does. If you want things done right; Christina is who you call."

  • "Christina helped me understand the breed as well as how to get Maggie to work with me."

    "I adopted a 3 yr old Aussie-doodle and was having trouble understanding how to train her.

    I had Labs before and they only wanted to please. Christina helped me understand the breed as well as how to get Maggie to work with me - Christina has a calm way of explaining and working with the dogs"
