About Crista Burkhart
A lifelong animal lover turned professional dog trainer, Crista spends her days helping owners communicate more effectively with their dogs. When she is not training clients’ dogs, she stays busy managing her own lively pack.
With 6 years of professional training experience and plenty of firsthand experience with dogs of her own, Crista understands everything from puppy mischief to the challenges that can come with reactivity. She believes training should be practical, realistic, and useful in the situations dogs and their owners encounter every day.
Crista also brings plenty of personality to her work. If there is dog hair on her clothes, treats in her pockets, and a dog keeping things interesting nearby, she is probably exactly where she wants to be.
Crista’s Training Philosophy
Crista believes training is happening all the time, not only during structured sessions. Everyday interactions, routines, and responses can influence what a dog learns, which makes consistency an important part of life with your dog.
Training Tip From Crista: “Your dog is always learning, even when you aren’t intentionally training.”
