Stories From the Club
"Our Cali girl LOVES Christine at The Northern Collar Club! If she could talk, she would say .. At first I was a little hesitant of this stranger coming in to my home to meet me, I barked so much. I was a little scared but she brought some treats and was very patient and kind with me. Once I felt comfortable, she brought me for a car ride with another friendly dog and started my first walk. I made a friend that day and I came home to tell mom and dad all about it cause I was so happy! The next week I was picked up again and got even more comfortable with my new dog walker and met even more friends who have all the high energy that I have, I love my friends! One day on a walk, a scab on my ear came off during play and I started bleeding all over but I knew I was okay because Christine bandaged me all up and took care of me until my mom came home. Christine even messaged my mom and offered some more bandages for my ear and made sure I was okay several days later. I've been going on walks with Christine for almost a year now and I enjoy going on adventures with all my friends. On Wednesdays I lay by the door waiting for Christine. Is it Wednesday yet mom and dad!!? Christine is very knowledgeable when it comes to animals and a person that I trust whole heartedly with my Cali ❤️"
