Customer Reviews
Kristina is fantastic! My pup, Enzo, has separation anxiety that limits my ability to leave him for meaningful periods of time. Kristina identified the core issues and laid out a methodical plan, which we have followed the last two months. We've seen great progress, and I highly recommend Kristina!
- Reid MWe've worked with Kristina for years with our two pups Luna and Rocky and have recommended her to countless friends. Whenever we meet she brings so much value to each session and provides an extensive follow-up with homework so you never feel lost maintaining a solid training routine with your pup. If we could give more than 5 stars we would!
- Maya RWe adopted Beckett, an 11th month old beagleman and were immediately overwhelmed. She had severe separation anxiety where if we left her to go check the mail, she would scream bark, poop/pee and rip apart anything she could get her mouth on within seconds. We were desperate for help and were referred to Kristina by a friend/current client. She helped us get our life back! With weekly lessons and homework assignments, we were slowly able to leave Beckett for a few minutes and have now extended to a few hours! We couldn’t have done it without her expertise. We highly recommend to anyone who needs help with separation anxiety. Thank you Kristina!
- Hannah HWe highly recommend Kristina! We just had a baby and wanted to make sure that we did everything right to help our Pitbull acclimate to the new family dynamics. We love her approach to training - she is very patient, places no judgments, and makes sure we're set up to succeed. She gave us tons of tools and tips to practice when she wasn't with us. Our dog quickly responded and has settled in beautifully into her new role as "big sister". Can't recommend her enough, esp. if you're expecting a new baby and nervous about how your dog will adjust!

Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers
When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.
For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Kristina Donovan is one way to keep training grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about credentials, and confirming them on the profile, is one of the best ways to make a confident choice.
