If you are looking for a trusted and qualified dog trainer or behavior consultant, look no more. You have just found the one!
For more than nine years, I have been assisting dogs in overcoming their fears and challenges. Here is a preview.
I have loved animals all of my life and couldn’t imagine the world without them. In this stressful and busy life, they brighten our day and bring us comfort and unconditional love. Regardless of how we look, dress, or think, they always greet us at the door with joy and eagerness.
However, when dogs struggle or deal with various issues, what should be an enjoyable experience can become stressful and frustrating, negatively impacting the relationship between dog and owner.
Dealing myself years back with a problematic dog, and witnessing many owners struggle, motivated me to take action and help build harmonious relationships between dogs and their guardians.
That’s how I Wuff You® was born—out of love for dogs and a desire to help people enjoy life with their pets every day. Our training builds a real bond between you, your family, and your dog—creating a healthy relationship.
For me, this isn’t just a job; it’s a joyful adventure that fills my heart when I see happy dogs and owners together.
My knowledge and skills come from years of academic research in the food industry and agriculture, along with a master’s degree in this field. I have been mentored by highly educated professionals in nutrition, food science, and animal behavior.
I hold the highest certification in the dog training industry: CBCC-KA (Certified Behavior Consultant Canine, Knowledge Assessed). This certification requires extensive hands-on experience, professional references, and passing a rigorous in-person exam focused on canine behavior science and behavior modification techniques.
This certification provides a scientifically valid measure of expertise in canine behavior modification.
Your dog is in good hands with us!
My experience with challenging behaviors gives you confidence that I can effectively diagnose and address issues while training your dog humanely.
Our training focuses on building a stronger relationship based on love, respect, and joy. If a case requires additional expertise, I will honestly refer you to a qualified professional such as a veterinary behaviorist.
Needless to say, we get results. I’ve seen firsthand the difference quality training makes. Without it, relationships can become frustrating—but with consistency and patience, transformation is possible.
Never give up on your dog.
Hiring an unqualified trainer can be detrimental, so always do your research. You are your dog’s best advocate.
After years of training dogs and coaching owners, nothing is more satisfying than seeing happy dogs and happy families.
Once you see the changes in your dog’s behavior, you’ll wonder why you waited. Read what our clients say and learn how to choose the right trainer.
I look forward to working with you and your dog!
With Wuff,

“After just 4 training lessons our puppy Fluffy is doing great! We’ve learned to prevent her from chewing on stuff she is not supposed to. She has previously chewed on my pocket book and one pair of shoes. As a result of training, she stopped doing that. Most importantly, she chooses to chew on her toys now. I like working with Cristina because she knows how dogs think and how they learn. She certainly does a good job explaining also. we are more than happy and therefore we will continue our training with her.”
“We regularly take mental stimulation play and some nose work classes. Our two dogs love it! In other words, we recommend I Wuff You Dog Training!”
