Stories From the Pack

"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 ❤️"

"My dog Freya loves Christine and Jesse. She even learned how to jump in their vehicle before mine cause she is always excited to go on all the adventures they provide. Never worry when she is in their care — even cleans Freya when she gets full of mud haha. Thanks for your services, have no idea what I would do without you guys picking up Freya and tiring her out ❤️❤️"

"Christine is amazing!! I was training my husky puppy for several months on my own and after talking to Christine at the Pet Expo in April, I signed up for her training classes and walking club. She's helped me to fine tune what I was already doing and helped me to guide him in the right direction. He still has things to work on and I'm looking forward to continuing to work on those things with him but there's been such a huge improvement since we adopted him. The staff at Canadian Tire have even noticed the difference in him since I started bringing him in daily for walks when it was too cold (for me) in the winter and too hot for him outside in the summer 🐶"

"We absolutely love The Northern Collar Club! Christine and Jesse have been incredible with our dog, Lucky. From the very beginning, they've treated him like one of their own, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing he's in such great hands even when he gets too excited at times. One thing that really stands out is the extra level of care they provide. Every Thursday, Christine comes to pick up Lucky for off-leash walks on their property, even when we're not home. Lucky gets so excited when he sees her, and it's clear how much he enjoys spending time with them and the rest of the crew (8 to 12 other dogs). The trust we've built with Christine and Jesse is something that's hard to put a price on. Their knowledge, patience, and passion for dogs are second to none. Not only have they helped improve Lucky's obedience and behaviour, but they've also helped build his confidence. They take the time to work with both the dog and the owner, making the entire training experience enjoyable and effective. They also answer questions after hours and are always ready to help and give suggestions on how to approach the problem we may be working on. If you're looking for trainers who genuinely care about your dog and go above and beyond for their clients, we highly recommend The Northern Collar Club. Thank you, Christine and Jesse, for everything you do for Lucky—we're incredibly grateful to have found you both!"

"We can't say enough about Christine! From her helpful advice and tips every time we stop by Pet Valu, to Monday night training classes and her in-home visits, she truly is a one-stop shop. Her knowledge, patience, and genuine love for dogs shine through in everything she does and she always greets everyone with a smile. We're so grateful for all of her support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing dog trainer!"

"Christine is absolutely amazing! I trust her 100%. She is reliable, and you can truly see that what she does is a passion of hers. She is so patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and so positive! She is always willing to work with you and offer support to help both the owner and the dog. I can't thank her enough for everything she does! I highly recommend Northern Collar Club to anyone looking for training. She makes you feel comfortable and really takes the time to properly teach you every technique. Our Maggie girl loves her ♥️"

"Christine is an absolute delight to work with. Listens to yours and the pet's needs and is more than willing to go above and beyond the call of duty in assisting and ensuring the proper training required for your pet's needs is met."

"Christine is amazing to train with. From the moment I reached out, I could tell how much she truly loves what she does and how passionate she is about helping people and their dogs succeed. She has a great way of delivering effective training while keeping things light, supportive, and judgment-free, which makes such a difference, especially since training can be stressful at times. I would absolutely recommend Christine and Jesse to anyone looking for a positive training experience!"
