 Marie and her dog Gizmo
‘I was in despair. I had a bold stroppy little puppy who showed me who was boss! Then I found Christine.
She trained me, and now the change in my puppy is amazing. Now he knows who is the boss!’
 Margaret Burke and her dog Max
‘My puppy has calmed down so much since I brought him to Chris. He would be out of control now, had I not brought him to the classes. I would have done all the wrong things with him, and not known how to handle him. Even the children are able to manage him now. I am so glad I bought him here’
 Bernice and her son Zameer
‘Christine’s excellent training and patience have made such a difference to our dog Ruaigh and the family. We now have goals to aim for. It is the most beneficial class we have ever attended’
 John and Aibhle and their dog Roxy
‘Our visits to Christine have really made a difference to both of us and out dog. Since attending the lessons, our dog’s behaviour has greatly improved. She has become more mannerly towards us and our visitors. We really enjoy spending time with Roxy now’
 Valerie and her dog Cotton
Chris has made such a difference to helping me train my dog, in a very calm and clear manner. She is always willing to advise in any way. I would recommend her to anyone.
 Paula and her dog Bella
Bella is now 20 months old. I had been trying to train her myself, but once she reached the 50kg it was physically impossible for me to hold her on the lead. She also jumped on visitors and thus was banished outside most of the time. I first brought her to Christine in November 2005. Everything about Chris’s set up is professional and of a high standard. She has a well set up indoor training area and a large fenced outdoor area. Instruction was always clear and precise and she explained my dog’s behaviour and how to correct it very well. After just one lesson the change in Bella was remarkable, and after 5 lessons I have a dog who is calmer, more receptive and will walk to heel, sit, go down, leave, and is learning to stay. If I let her off the lead she will come back promptly. Chris provides laminated copies of each lesson afterwards. I would recommend One2OneDogs very highly. I intend keeping in touch with Chris once the initial training is finished. Any dog owner who loves their dog and wants a happy and well behaved dog should come to Chris at One2One Dogs.
 Giselle and her dog Hector
Thanks to Christine’s professional yet friendly training, help and advice, Hector, our resuce puppy has changed from being like a hyperactive toddler with the terrible two’s, into a dog who is a pleasure to own. I am very proud of Hector and his changed ways. I can recommend dog training to any owner,(new or old). Without christine’s help I doubt whether Hector would still be living with us.
A BIG THANKS again.
 Nick and his dog Sylvie
Our dog came to us at about 9 months old, friendly and loving, but with a number of bad habits, and an independent streak a mile wide! We were so glad we decided to seek professional help, and Christine has impressed me greatly with the depth of her knowledge and expertise. Since taking the training sessions with Christine, the dog is so much more responsive and we have a closer and more rewarding repationship with our pet. But just as importantly the training sessions themselves are so fascinating and informative and good fun for me and the dog. I always look forward to the next one.
Damian and his dog Bran
Christine has been fantastic. A must for any dog owner. I have enjoyed the many visits and it was great to see the improvement in my dog.
 From Ruairi and Donna.
Ruairi and I found Christine's training sessions excellent. She showed us how to train Sheba to be obedient. She also taught us a lot about dog behaviour and how to ensure we did not have behavioural problems with Sheba in the future. Christine also gave us advice on dog food and diet. I would highly recommend Christine to anybody, whatever breed of dog they own, as she provided an excellent service at a very reasonable price.
 From Lorraine with her dog Misty
Christine has made life so much more enjoyable for Misty, Patrick and myself. I used to think mainly a puppy needed lots of play whenever she wanted, and made to feel loved and secure in a new home.
I now know how to do this in the correct way as Misty was starting to become the boss. I thought that I was doing the right things with my Yorkshire terrier pup. How wrong I was….but things have changed, thanks to Christine. Misty is much happier and so are we. Thank you Christine for showing us how to give our dog a better life
 From Avril and Simon with their dog Ollie
We do not know what we would have done without Christine. Ollie is a changed dog since attending training lessons. It is amazing to watch Christine work. She has a gift!
From Rosie with her dog Sally
Mans best friend. I had always been very passionate about cats and had always live with them. Then one day at the Sligo SPCA my heart went out to a black Labrador who needed someone to take care of her and love her.
I had no idea how to care or help meet the needs of a dog and on the recommendation of a colleague I contacted Christine.
Chris enabled me to understand a dog and their needs. Also the training for both Sally and I has been extremely bonding, interesting and fun.
I now truly have a very good friend and companion in Sally. Life without her wouldn’t be the same. I am certain the training has helped our relationship flourish. |

From Theresa and her dog Klaus
Christine has been a life saver for me and my dog Klaus. At 10 months he chased anything that moved, jumped on everyone and could not be relied on to come back when called. It was only going to be a matter of time before he hurt someone or something.
Christine has taught me very clearly how to relate to my dog so that he knows I am the master. I now have a much happier dog that I adore in the right way.
He comes to work with me every day and sits in the shop by the counter. I could not recommend Christine’s dog training programme highly enough. The lessons are fascinating ad the results were evident very quickly.
 From Sean and Ger Finnery with their dogs Ozzie and Prince
“Don’t repeat your commands!” I believe I got as much training as the dogs did. Ozzie and Prince responded very quickly to Christine’s methods. Through her patience and perseverance both dogs have now completed their basic training; the plan is continue up through the grades. This should be fun with the two Springers.
Many thanks Christine for a memorable and fun experience.
From Mary, Paul, Andrew, Laura and Simon with their dog Rowan
Rowan arrived at our home on 12th June 2006. He was a rescue dog and had a troubled past although he was only fourteen months old! Initially all was well, he seemed very good, if a bit nervous, and we were hooked!
We brought him on holiday to Achill and it was a bit of a disaster. He chased anything that moved, pulled on the lead so much the only person who could manage him was my husband. Sometime towards the end of the summer our neighbours complained that they were afraid to pass our house, as Rowan would come charging down our driveway challenging them! We were in trouble and needed urgent help.
A number of dog trainers that we contacted were very pessimistic and said that this type of behaviour was impossible to correct. One even suggested that we should have Rowan put to sleep!
We eventually heard about Christine. Immediately I spoke to her I was heartened by her optimism; she did not feel that we had an insurmountable problem. We then started going to Chris for weekly lessons. Rowan’s problem was that he was dominant and that he was in control instead of us. He felt he was responsible for protecting us. We had to learn a whole new way of dealing with Rowan. We found the classes fascinating. Chris is so patient and utterly professional. Rowan is now a wonderful companion. He is not perfect but we know what situations to avoid and we are in control, not Rowan!
We can never thank Chris enough, she understands dogs behaviour better than anyone I know and she is also a great friend to humans!
