Christie is passionate about helping people connect with their dogs and believes that our relationship with our dogs can teach us so much.
Living with dogs with a range of behavior challenges, including reactivity and resource guarding, has helped Christie develop a love of behavior and a lot of compassion for dogs and the people who love them. Christie loves helping people learn how to meet their dog’s needs and identify the function of “problem behaviors,” while teaching them simple ways to help them better navigate everyday life.
Christie lives in Great Falls, VA with her two dogs, Otis and Sully. She also runs an online dog community, Tails of Connection. She loves to learn and strives to stay updated on the latest information in training. Most recently, she completed Dr. Susan Friedman’s Living & Learning with Animals course (Aug 2021), attended the Aggression in Dogs Conference (Oct. 2021), and is completing How Movement Works with Lori Stevens. She also regularly attends ClickerExpo and has taken a range of one off courses through Fenzi Dog Sports Academy.
