I had a 10 month old Springer Spaniel puppy named Maya who was terrorizing me. She was jumping all over everything, stealing shoes, chewing, and overwhelming other dogs and new people. I couldn't take her anywhere. I had already spent an outrageous amount of money on another trainer with no success. I was seriously considering rehoming her. But my vet recommended Corinna and when I met her I could see immediately see, she was different. When my dog came at her with over zealous excitement Corinna handled her quietly and firmly, with very little exertion on her part. Maya spent 3 weeks at her Board & Train. Corinna sent me regular videos of Maya's progress and I couldn't believe I was seeing my dog. She even took Maya inside Home Depot and set her by herself, not tethered to anything and walked away with people walking all around and she just calmly stayed where she was told to. Wow. When I picked her up Corinna went over all her new commands and how to get the results I have been looking for. Since she has been home things are so different. We still have some chewing issues but they are improving every day. From time to time I have called Corinna up and we will discuss what is going on and she will give me advise on how to continue to work on any problems I might be having. Maya has become such a great dog. I would highly recommend Corinna to anyone having problems with their dog. She knows her stuff. read more

No words can express my gratitude for Corinna's coaching!! Our puppy was extremely traumatized after his long international flight to the US (he seemed fine before his journey). We could never leave our house for more than 15 minutes without him soiling in his crate and destroying our home. And he was horrified by just about anything. Strong winds. Garbage can lids. Golf carts. Bikes. Birds. But his greatest fear was children and their high-pitched voices. Unfortunately, predicting when kids would pop out during our walks was impossible. Our dog is very affectionate and sweet when calm, but when triggered, he would forget about his surroundings and aggressively scratch his way home (he's a big dog too), resulting in unintentional injuries for my husband and me. That said, we wanted him to experience the outdoors! Luckily, we connected with Corinna -- and we are SOOO lucky to have a dog psychiatrist, trainer, and magician in HOUSTON!! She was professional from day 0. She visited our home with a comprehensive list of questions and took copious notes. Walked us through her training methods and the different programs. We chose the 6-week intensive training, as we knew our dog had some psychological trauma that needed to be addressed. It was worth every penny. Corinna doesn't just take your money and peace out -- she truly cares. She continues to occasionally check in on us, and we trust her so much that she's our preferred dogsitter whenever we travel. A few months ago, I had a traumatized, skittish, and semi-aggressive dog. Today, I have a loving, peaceful, friendly, and calm buddy who enjoys watching me cook in the kitchen. AND HE BEGS TO GO ON WALKS!!!!!!!! As an added bonus, I've uploaded pics of my dog BEFORE and AFTER Corinna's 6-week program. read more

Corinna goes above and beyond! We have a 4 year old Staffie named Raphael that is high energy and squirrels left and right. During the initial free consult, she took her time understanding Raphael's impulses, behavior, and our concerns to make sure our boy is safe and loved. Corinna recommended the 4 week course and Raphael came back with the same lovable energy yet with new discipline, focus, and tricks. He now knows how to sit, place, heal and with more time through out the year he learned more tricks like roll, weave, and snout treat catch. She always gave us continuous updates, videos, and pictures. Plus she provides a training video! Raphael is so happy and comfortable with Corinna--she is like our extended family with the TLC she gives Raphael. We highly recommend Corinna and no worries that your baby dog will be taken care of! read more

After almost a year, Ragnar is still an angel. Putting him in training was the best investment I have ever done. He's made such a great running buddy, never pulls or strays away. His confidence is through the roof, and he looks forward to commands and obedience. We very rarely use his training collar nowadays. Still super satisfied! read more

Corinna took our 11 month old American Pitbull (Luna) last minute as we were in a bind before vacation. She communicated very well through the process and gave us picture/video updates every few days! Our Luna pulled very hard anytime she was on a leash. Now we can enjoy normal walks everyday, with no pull. I've gotten to the point where we can take walks/Runs without me holding the leash and she stays right next to me. There is much more we could say but we'll keep it short and sweet. Corinna followed up with us a few days after Luna's return to see if she could help us with anything, we felt comfortable asking multiple questions and she seemed sincerely happy to help! Thanks for taking the challenge with our baby Luna! read more

The services Corinna provides are invaluable. My fiancé and I adopted a 1 year old Shetland Sheepdog, Roy, half a year ago and we have been struggling with his behavioral issues on a daily basis ever since. As responsible dog parents, we immediately signed Roy up for a 6 week training session at Petco. While it was a great start, it did not fix our main problem of him barking and lunging at strangers. A few weeks later, being at a desperate state of mind, we signed him up for 10 more training sessions with a different trainer that came highly recommended by a peer. Thousands of dollars later and we did not see the results. We began to lose hope. We finally decided to give Roy to Corinna for board and train. I was hesitant at first because I wanted to be the one to do the training so Roy can learn to listen to me. However, Corinna explained that everything Roy will learn is transferable. Corinna was very patient and answered all of our questions to make us feel comfortable with the process. She even sent us photos and videos of Roy and the progress they were making every couple of days. We were in complete disbelief to see what Corinna has done. She completely transformed Roy from an anxious and stressed out dog into an obedient, happy dog. She has done the unimaginable in just 2 weeks. We saw significant improvement after just a few days and the progress that other trainers were not able to achieve in months. When it was time for us to take Roy back, Corinna spent hours teaching us how to speak/interact with Roy. She was completely accurate in saying that everything she has taught Roy is transferable. We are finally able to take Roy out for long walks stress free! If you want to enjoy your dog sign him up for classes with Corinna! She is a magician :) read more
