OUR SERVICES
Walking a dog who pulls or is reactive is never enjoyable. Plus, it's dangerous for you and your dog! If you are feeling frustrated and at your wits' end, Zen Critter can help! Zen Critter believes that the other end of the leash is just as important.
Leash Manners Program for Dogs Who Pull
Tired of tug-of-war walks with your pup? You’re in the right place.
Our 6-week in-home leash manners program is all about helping you and your dog walk together, calmly, confidently, and connected. We use only positive reinforcement methods because we believe training should strengthen the bond between you and your dog, not strain it.
We’ll work right in your home environment, where your dog is most comfortable, and focus on building skills at a pace that works for both of you. When you’re both feeling ready, we’ll take it on the road with “out and about” sessions to practice in the real world.

Reactive Dog Program
$80 per session + $0.40 cents per mile
We believe every dog deserves great training, and every family’s situation is unique. If cost ever feels like a barrier, feel free to reach out. We’re always happy to talk and find something that works.
Reactive Dog Program
Living with a reactive dog can be overwhelming—but you’re not alone, and there is a way forward.
Our 8-week in-home program is designed specifically for dogs who bark, lunge, or overreact to triggers like other dogs, people, bikes, or sounds. Using science-backed, positive reinforcement techniques, we’ll work together to build your dog’s confidence and yours too.
This isn’t about shutting your dog down. It’s about understanding their stress, teaching them how to cope, and helping you both feel safer and more in sync. Every step is taken with care, compassion, and a focus on the bond between you and your dog.
We start right at home where your dog feels secure, and once you’re both ready, we’ll venture out for real-life practice in a way that sets you up for success..

What Our Clients Say
Christa is always amazing with communication. She is always on time and does a great job of sending pics of the fun her and my pup are having. There is no one I trust with Brutus more than her.
Matt
My dog loves training time and walks with Christa! She is very kind and knowledgeable and it gives me great peace of mind to know he’s in good hands. Christa gave us some great things to practice to continue the good work they are doing together and he is behaving so much better on our walks since starting with her. She does a wonderful job!
