We love Chrys! She did an amazing job getting Teddy where we needed him to be as psychiatric service dog. Chrys taught Teddy deep pressure therapy with the cue word “hug” which is so sweet and my therapy kids love it. She also taught Teddy a command for disengaging with whatever behavior he was having to the point where he can leave a bal alone while playing fetch. His progress has can truly incredible to see. I couldn’t recommend Chrys more! More...

The way that Chrys communicates with dogs, and with people, is so cool to watch! She did training with my border collie, and made all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place with him! Her training pups always love her, Thierry gets excited to see her every time. He has also stayed with her while i was out of town, and Thierry was almost sad to leave! I cannot recommend her enough!

Chrys walked all 3 of our dogs (at once), which is a testament to her ability to communicate with them and convince them to do what she wants them to do. We highly recommend Chrys and the Balanced Life for dog walking and will certainly be calling on her again! More...
