Krista Goodsitt CBCC-KA

                 I grew up in Phoenix, AZ with a pretty big menagerie of animals at home and was a horse girl riding competitively throughout my formative years. Animals were always a central part of my life being a busy kid and I always wanted to understand them on a deeper level.   

           I rescued the first dog of my own in my twenties in college in a one bedroom apartment and had the time to spend hours with her at the dog park observing her and all the other dogs interact. When I adopted a second dog who started to exhibit problem behaviours at a young age is when I started to look for a good trainer. All of the trainers I called were either one size fits all (meaning I wouldn't be treated as an individual) and I didn't think that would address my serious issues or they were way out of my budget, so I did the next best thing and went to school to become a trainer and help my dogs.

     I attended Animal Behavior College with an emphasis in reactivity and problem behaviors and Goodsittdogs was born to help people in my exact situation needing help with their dogs. Believing in continuing education and to always stay on the cutting edge of new training techniques and philosophies I earned my certificate as a behaviorist from the most recognized certification council for pet dog trainers, the CCPDT and became one of only about 300 others to do so. Attending workshops and seminars in my free time keeps me thinking outside of the box to always be able to come up with unique training plans to help my clients see amazing results with their own dogs.

      My goal is to help you understand your relationship with your dog better and to help you build a strong bond that allows you both to get the most out of your time together. Nothing brings me more happiness than seeing my clients finally click with their dogs and start having a relationship and behavior they never thought imaginable. It can be done!

      In my free time you will find me outdoors with my pack of two dogs exploring the world rock climbing, white water kayaking or backcountry hiking. In the future I hope to be able to offer outdoor excursions for my clients to start gaining confidence in the wilderness with their dogs as well.
