  • "saved our life"

    Review of Puppy Head Start, November 10, 2008

    My daughter brought home an adorable little puppy..... you know how the story goes:)
    After many nights of sleep deprivation, we contacted Kristine and she saved our life.... and the puppies too! She was extremely patient, kind and knowledgeable. Her method of "positive" reinforcement was refreshing, as the methods I'd learned previous weren't working.
    I would highly recommend Kristine to anyone struggling with their "new best friend". It really doesn't need to be so hard....

“The dog training field is still sadly laden with self-proclaimed gurus without credentials, real skills or professional ethics. Christine Hibbard is the opposite: Educated and skilled in animal learning and training, dog behavior, instructing and counseling. She exemplifies utmost professionalism."
