Dear Chrissie

I wanted to write to you to thank you so much for all your help with training our puppy. You clearly have a real understanding of animal behaviour and once you explained things to us it helped us to understand what we needed to do in order to establish the proper hierarchy and to train our puppy into a well behaved and happy dog.
We have followed your instructions that you left us for several weeks now and the routine that you put in place for us has been a huge help in house breaking Gracie as well as dealing with her barking whenever she wants attention. We are working on being the "top dog" which I think will be an ongoing battle! We will be in touch to let you know how we are getting on and I am sure we will have many other questions along the way.

Thank you again,

Mrs. M. Gardner
Our older retriever, Jimmie, has always been looked after by Chrissie when we’ve been on holiday. When we were thinking of getting another puppy we discussed with Chrissie her taking it on days we were both out working. She helped us find a breeder and suggested how we look for the healthiest puppy. Having chosen the pluckiest one, we had to learn to be tough enough to match his great spirit. When the loveable Finnegan became a handful giving us some major problems with Jimmie, it was Chrissie who helped coach us through. In common with giving good advice, Chrissie, is genuine and forthright. She is generous and very helpful with her knowledge and love of dogs. Her calm, clear rules make the dogs confident to be with her and not misbehave. Likewise she expects the owners to be good and we get advice as well. We have never worried about our dogs when they are left with Chrissie. She calmly returns them to their home environment and we have a good holiday!

A day or a holiday with Chrissie - Zeb thinks this is far better than time at home. Chrissie not only looks after him like her own - she gives me invaluable advise on his welfare and training.

I had in the past used other dog sitters/homes but would never want to use anyone else but Chrissie. Zeb's sense of excitement when he sees her is a testament to the fun he has with her.

Chrissie Yggmark has helped several of my patients following orthopaedic surgery, to rehabilitate them as well as geriatrics with arthritis. Some of these dogs have never swum before, but they have all succumbed to Chrissie's persuasion and positively enjoyed the experience.

Chrissie has known our German Wirehaired Pointers Molly and Logan almost as long as we have had them. They are both besotted with her and treat her as their surrogate mother. Although they are lovely dogs they have had an extremely difficult adolescence, further complicated by their rather flawed temperament. Chrissie has guided us through very difficult times of learning how to live with them both, and gave us hope and encouraged us to persevere when we were on the point of giving up. Chrissie has that special touch with dogs and they in return respond to her. We have only her to thank that we believed it was possible for them to change, and now have two delightful lively dogs.
