Christine has been training dogs for almost twenty five years. Her first puppy in 1998 led her to the Tallahassee Dog Obedience Club for guidance.

From that initial night of puppy class she was hooked. Christine believes that training dogs broadens the relationship between handler and dog in a really beautiful way. She respects that each dog has different training needs and schedules and she enjoys figuring out the “puzzle” of her partners. That first puppy ended up with many letters behind her name (CousCous von Tilburg CD RE AX AXJ CGC). The letters stand for titles; but in truth, they stand for the love and patience that CousCous taught Christine and the associated joy of stepping up to the start line.
