Serving Greater Houston, TX
Your dog already knows how to be great.
Let's help you see it.
Training isn't about commands. It's about building a relationship where trust goes both ways. We help Houston families communicate with their dogs — clearly, kindly, and for good.
Our Philosophy
Force-free. Science-based.
Relationship-focused.
My training philosophy is rooted in positive reinforcement and clear communication. I don't just train dogs — I train the humans who love them. When we help owners understand how dogs learn, real and lasting change happens. Rather than forcing a dog into compliance, I focus on guiding them to make the best possible choice. By rewarding the behaviors we want and setting dogs up for success, we build trust, confidence, and a stronger bond between dogs and their owners.
If you use force to get a dog to do what you want, you are inadvertently damaging the dog's confidence and your relationship, and breaking trust. I want to help you teach your dog how to make better choices. I believe dogs are a part of the family and should be treated as such.
As a trainer, I will tailor my training plan to your needs and make it work for you. I will never guarantee results, but I will promise to be honest and give it my all.

"We adore Crissy! Our maltipoo has been working with Crissy since she was a puppy. She learned the basics, learned socialization skills, and became a lover of agility! We continue to work with Crissy on maintenance, recall, and preventing reactivity. Crissy has a way of making every dog feel like they are her favorite dog ever! (And the feeling is mutual — she is definitely Stormy's favorite non-family human ever!) We HIGHLY recommend using Crissy for all of your dog training needs!!"

"Crissy is everything you want and need in a dog trainer—kind, helpful, attentive, flexible, creative and patient. Our dogs love her (and her treats!) and she's been instrumental in training our dogs (one anxious and one highly reactive). Training with Crissy has made a world of difference in our lives and our dogs' lives."

"Crissy has changed our family dynamics for the better. We have a reactive German shepherd and weren't sure we could handle him. We briefly considered rehoming him, sad to say. Crissy is magical with him and taught us skills to deal with him. Now he's a different dog and my best buddy. Other people have noticed the difference and even asked if it was the same dog. lol. My wife and I highly recommend 2C Dog Training. We tell all our furbaby owner friends. If you hire her, please share your experience with me."

"Crissy has been amazing working with our new dog Nala! After just a few sessions, we've already seen great improvements. She's incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely understanding. We've been very satisfied with the experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality, effective dog training!"
