Students Speak!

I drive 3 hours round trip to Christina's agility classes. It is worth every moment of my time. I am so grateful to Christina Turner for being awesome and patient with me and my very big dog, Cayuga. She guides me in handling with ease and understanding. Christina is excellent with helping my dog navigate and excel at the courses not necessarily made for the larger breeds. She is helping me learn terminology and handling without making me anxious or feel dumb. As a veteran with post traumatic stress disorder, I appreciate her clarity, patience and professionalism.

Ninja (my 7th generation of agility Bullmastiffs!) and I have been working with Christina for the last 15 months or so. He attended his first trial at the end of November and got his first Novice Fast leg. A week later he snagged another Fast leg and a Standard leg as well - all with blue ribbons. Christina has great insight into a dog's needs - and adjusts the training for each dog, whether it's a Chihuahua or a 130 pound ball of muscle. She also does a great job of explaining how to read a course with your dog's skills and needs in mind. An added bonus is that this is accomplished in a pleasant atmosphere with totally positive training methods - for the handlers as well as the dogs!

When we first got Geillis she was a shy little girl and we knew we wanted to build up her confidence and try agility. We started taking lessons with Christina and really enjoyed how she was committed to helping Geillis in learning the different techniques. She is an excellent trainer and although Geillis has stumbles along the way (usually when taking pictures of course), we hope to continue taking Geillis to higher levels with Christina.

I and my two, young, high energy Portuguese Water Dogs LOVE agility class and learning all kinds of tips from Christina! My dogs cry with excitement when they realize they are going for training. We have had the privilege to work with Christina both outdoors and inside over the past several years.  She is extremely patient, understanding, and knowledgeable and manages to always make training fun and rewarding for me and my dogs. I would highly recommend Christina to anyone who is looking for a skilled, supportive, encouraging and flexible instructor/trainer for their dogs.
