Dog training and behavior help in Los Angeles and Bakersfield
Let’s get you and your dog
on the same page.
I’m Krista. I’ve spent over 20 years helping people and their dogs, from brand new puppies to dogs other trainers wouldn’t take on. Most of my training happens right at your door.

- “No one would agree to help us. Krista came to our rescue!”
- “Krista is very careful to NOT assume ‘one size fits all’ for dog training.”
- “I can now go jogging with our dog without the fear of getting knocked down and dragged.”

“We have a VERY spirited and strong female Rottie from a rescue. She is highly reactive toward other dogs and has knocked me down and injured me unintentionally on several occasions, not to mention scaring the bejeezus out of everyone in the neighbourhood! We had very little usable information or techniques from the trainers that we contacted. No one would agree to help us. Krista came to our rescue!
She has been working with us for about a year and during that time we had to try several different approaches in order to find the right one for our particular dog and circumstances. Krista is very careful to NOT assume ‘one size fits all’ for dog training. We systematically tried a number of approaches and have found one that is giving us great results.
Krista never lost hope, even when I was depressed and dejected and afraid we’d never get anywhere. I can now go jogging with our dog without the fear of getting knocked down and dragged. Krista is terrific! I would strongly recommend her.”
I’m a Certified Behavior Consultant Canine, Knowledge Assessed. When I earned it through the CCPDT, I became one of only about 300 people to hold it.

Animal Behavior College Certified Dog TrainerHow I can help
It’s all private, one on one training, and nothing here is one size fits all. Your dog gets a plan built around them and the way you actually live.
Find your starting point
Answer four quick questions and you’ll see where I’d start with your dog.
What would you love help with?
How old is your dog?
Where are you?
What fits your week?
Also a fit: Day Training. I can train your dog while you’re at work, then show you how to keep it going.
Not in my area? I do remote online consultations, and travel consultations on request.
Every plan starts with a consultation and comes with lifetime support.
I’m a behaviorist, and let’s face it, this is why most of you call.
- Separation anxiety
- Fear and anxiety
- Leash reactivity
- House soiling
- Aggression toward dogs, animals or people
- Housemate issues
A Behavior Consultation is about an hour and a half in your home. I get to see your dog in their own world, and we start a plan that works for your whole household.
