She is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed, and a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant through the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC).
She is passionate about educating guardians and other professionals about dog behaviour and learning theory, as well as bridging gaps between the dog training and behaviour world and veterinary and animal health world.
Christina lives in Woodstock, ON with her husband Craig, sister Rebekah, cat Blue, and Super Mix Helper Dog Walter. When she’s not seeing clients you might find her at the barn enjoying the company of her Thoroughbred horse, Breezie, hiking with friends, or sitting in a café writing emails and engaging with dog guardians through social media.

Beth Berkobien, MS, FDM, CSAP-BC, FFCP, L-FPPE
Behaviour Consultant
Beth has been training dogs and doing behavioral work for 20 yrs. Growing up, her dad trained field trial labs using ecollars and punishment. She originally wanted to be a vet, but blood makes her a bit squeamish. So, much to her parents’ dismay, she changed tracks and decided to get a masters degree in Animal Behavior. When she graduated, she spent the first few years building her skills in basic manners and obedience, titling her Rottweiler in obedience getting his Companion Dog Excellent.
She began behavior work in 2006, specializing in the reactive dog. Since then she has continued her education and honing her approach, using only science-based methods that truly get results. She specializes in rescue dogs.
Beth specializes and has certifications in separation related behaviors, as well as dogs with babies.
Beth lives in Downtown Dallas, Texas with her husband, Richard, and 5 pups. She also supports various local and national rescues.
