Fusion Dog Training - Monument, Colorado

Our GSP wasn’t allowed near our little kids, or in our home much, due to her wild behavior and inability to hold still and not trample everyone and everything. I tried everything I could at home, with no luck. Then I found Cristina at Fusion. After the two week board and train, you would have thought that she swapped out our dog for a different one. Nelli is now indoors, listens to all my commands, and loves spending time with the family. She’s a different dog. This training changed her life and ours, all for the better. Look no further than Fusion. Cristina is a miracle worker and you and your pup deserve it!

10 months post training and things are going better than ever!
We reached out to Christina because one of our dogs was a very rough player and did not know how to greet other dogs. He would end up scaring the other dog and owner and stressing me out.
We did the two week board and train and I am very happy with the results. Christina trained our dog on some basics we had overlooked and then taught us how to communicate with him so that he understood what we were asking. As we live remotely, we love the use of the training collars and now know how to use them effectively.
It has been night and day difference in our relationship with our dog. I enjoy our walks again and I have the confidence and knowledge on how to communicate with my dog.
This was the best investment I have ever made and I highly recommend her.

I called Christina to ask about board-and-train. She inquired about my issues with my pup. She immediately problem-solved and told me what to work on. I was impressed. She went out of her way to work with my schedule and get my pup in.
When I dropped her off, I immediately felt at ease with Christina and was impressed with her facility. This is her profession, and she loves it. It shows.
While my pup was there, I got updates and videos. When I went to pick her up, it was clear that she had bonded with Christina. Two weeks seemed long to be without my pup, but what she learned in 2 weeks was amazing. Communication post board-and-train has been phenomenal. I can't recommend Fusion Dog Training enough. I will definitely be back when I need boarding!

Christina is a true gem. She is kind, eager to teach and stays in great communication with you. We took our 1.5 year old golden retriever to her for the board/train services and cannot believe the changes she made with our pup. Bailey came back all around calmer in general and now we are working on reinforcing the skills in her home environment. I was nervous if training would work on a stubborn dog, but the result is we have our same loveable dog now with great manners! Highly recommend Christina’s methodology and program. Plus her property is gorgeous! Bailey felt so at home there.

We've had our Doberman, Sophie, for years and never enjoyed walking with her because she would pull hard on her leash and get overly excited and bark nonstop when she saw people, dogs, or deer in our neighborhood. Christina told me Sophie didn't want to feel this way but I didn't understand how that could ever change. After sessions with Christina, Sophie is calm around others, doesn't pull and is fun to walk with now.
Lucy, our Vizsla, was just an overly excited, out-of-control puppy! She would jump all over people wanting to play! Christina trained us both! Now, she is still happy and playful, but she listens and settles down with only a voice command when others are around. No jumping!
I feel like my dogs are so much happier and peaceful now that I am trained haha!
Christina was so fun to be with and she made good use of every minute of our sessions. She still checks in occasionally to see how we are all doing.We will be forever grateful!

This is a long overdue review! I sent my then 1.5 year old rambunctious Border Collie to the 3 week board and train program in Sept 2020. As most Border Collies are, she was smart as a whip, outsmarting my attempts at training her and driving us both crazy. She pulled constantly, and zig-zagged on my runs which was a shame because it'd be a great outlet for her energy. She rarely listened if I didn't have a ball or frisbee, and I felt awful using her items of joy to lure her back inside. Three extremely short weeks later, the dog I got back was completely different but still her awesome self! Learning and doing was never her issue but slowing down and taking a second was.
Cristina and Margaret did an amazing job! Not only did they agree to take on an extra dog (due to my circumstances I was only supposed to be in the area for a few months) but were beyond communicative the whole time! I got plenty of pics and updates on her progress and when I got her back I was so happy with the result! She had a great heel, place, down, and general commands were all solid. But mostly she'd lost her "crazy eyes" look at every little sound and thing!
When I went to pick her up, they gave me a mini lesson on the collar and how to continue to work with her. It was obvious my pup LOVED working with them and was sad to leave (but still happy to see me :D). Since then Cristina has been super responsive to my questions, helping me from afar with my training progress (introduction to cats) through videos and chats. She keeps the Facebook Fusion Dog Train page up and running for group training events - that I keep meaning to attend, were I closer. This has been a top notch experience! Freyja's (my dog) training has... slipped a bit, nothing drastic and all completely my own doing for not being on top of her known bad habits. She's still great on leash and we go on runs often, I don't worry about bringing her places because I know she knows how to settle down (even if she REALLY doesn't want to), and she comes when I call. And I now have the tools to improve the old skills and help her pick up new ones. And whenever I'm stuck, I have a go-to resource who knows my dog and her training and just how to help!

Thank you so much for helping my dog find her calm! I recommend this dog trainer to ANYONE even interested in finding a program!

Fusion Dog Training Co. has been the best dog and handler training we could have ever asked for. Cristina goes the extra mile to ensure that each dog is individually catered to based on the dog, the handler & family, and the environmental conditions affecting the dynamic between the handler and the dog.

We've had all types of dogs, a Yellow Labrador who was anxious and fearful, an Italian Mastiff who was dog aggressive and possessive over toys and food, a Belgian Malinois who is defensive when he is unable to create his own space with other dogs, and a German Shorthair Pointer who pushes her off leash boundaries.

Cristina has worked wonders for all of them and she never rests in finding out what the root of the problem is. If she doesn't have an answer she will relentlessly study and work to figure out the answer and is not afraid to reach out to other trainers, veterinarians, or experts on possible solutions.

You will not regret choosing Cristina and Fusion Dog Training Co. to assist you in creating and building a healthy bond between your family and your dog. You are not alone, there are many people who need the same assistance. Just give Cristina a chance to change your world and your dogs world for the better!

Fusion is amazing! We recently put our 7 month old Siberian Husky through the 3-week board and train program. We have a typical Husky puppy...he was pulling on a leash, counter surfing, jumping on people and other dogs, lack of recall etc. In addition, after trying another trainer prior to Fusion, we began to have problems with the crate and he would no longer stay in without having major anxiety...to the point of us not leaving him alone, ever. Cristina spent so much time with me, exchanging emails and talking about our situation. We dropped off our crazy pup and picked up a new improved version of him! His personality shines through all of the skills he learned. I can basically walk my Husky holding the leash with my finger 99% of the time. No pulling, he can pass by other dogs without breaking heel, and he no longer jumps on people when greeting. He will calmly wait in his crate to be freed. What he has learned and what we have learned, has made our family life with our boy so much more enjoyable. He is able to enjoy time off-leash and we can’t wait to snowshoe with him this winter so he can enjoy his element even more. The process was awesome. Cristina kept us updated on his progress with pictures and video and the continued support after bringing him home has been wonderful and incredibly helpful. I highly recommend Fusion. In the future, we would not waste our money or time by going with any other dog training. Fusion is where it’s at!
