Your program has helped us have a peaceful and much better relationship with our pup. Before we started our training with you, he was biting and nipping so much that we were all miserable. Now we are able to enjoy our time together with almost no biting and have real bonding time together.

I found Cristina through Google. We have a German pointer (Sancho) and thanks to Cristina, who helps me in his education – always positive – we are achieving great changes… and I have only taken 4 classes!! A great professional, aware of our evolution and who gives off a lot of confidence and instructive videos. Thank you very much and let’s keep up the good work.

I contacted Cristina immediately after adopting an adult Spanish Galgo. She helped me set the house rules, learn how to act in challenging situations and earn the trust of my dog, who was traumatised. Cristina is an excellent trainer and active listener. I would recommend her without any hesitation.

Behind every behaviour you see, there is an emotional world you cannot see.
Think of the dog who pulls on the lead or cannot settle, whose recall disappears the moment it matters most, the one you love completely and still find yourself dreading the next walk with, the puppy full of energy.
Each of these is the visible 10% of something much larger happening inside your dog: what he is actually feeling, and how his nervous system responds to what he has not yet learned to process. That other 90% is where real, lasting change begins.
When your dog knows what to do with what he feels, everything changes.
You can start with:
The missing piece that changes how you see your dog and his behaviour, in 45 minutes with immediate access.
THE PROGRAMMESHow can I help you?
Well… where does your dog need you most?
Every programme follows the same cognitive-emotional architecture: understand what is happening inside your dog and build the capacity to process it, so what drives the behaviour changes from the root.
PUPPY PROGRAMME
GROW & SHINE
Build strong emotional foundations from the very start. Educate your puppy to grow into a happy, balanced adult dog and avoid future problems.
RECALL
BACK TO YOU
Trust a recall that holds when it actually matters. Develop the internal capacity your dog needs to voluntarily disconnect from the world, turn back and choose you.
COMPLETE PROGRAMME
SETTLE & SHINE
Help your dog feel good so he can behave well. A comprehensive behavioural health programme for dogs who feel the world intensively. Built on 11+ years of experience.
RE-ENJOY YOUR WALK
A CONNECTED WALK
My loose-leash method, built entirely on emotional regulation and the safety your dog finds in his connection with you.
Together is Better
A monthly community for families with dogs who feel the world intensely
Sensitive dogs who have to cope with impulsivity, stress, reactivity, anxiety, fear, overexcitement, or simply wired in a way that standard advice never quite reaches.
A place to keep building, at a pace that works for your dog and your life, with a professional who genuinely understands what sensitive dogs need and a community of families who know exactly what your day actually looks like.
Steady, calm guidance, month by month, for as long as it helps.

Please contact me if you are interested and we’ll discuss it together.

Cristina is a great professional with a big heart. She teaches you how to form a special relationship with your dog and develop his emotional stability. The result: a dog that is comfortable in his own skin, happy and calm. She involved my children in the training and did so with great gentleness and patience.

Hello, I amCristina Jiménez
11+ years · 750+ dogs and families helped · Swiss Veterinary Service recognised · Geneva behavioural specialist
This work began with my own dog, Yuki, a Japanese Akita, and a trainer whose methods hurt him instead of helping him. A single leash correction broke his leg. That moment changed the direction of my entire career.
Six years later, Kiwi, an Australian Kelpie full of energy and emotion, came into my life and tested everything I knew. She is now my certified assistance dog.
My clients in Geneva often say I do magic, but I don’t. What I actually do is understand the emotional world behind the behaviour, and build the internal capacity that changes it from the root. That is the cognitive-emotional approach behind every programme on this page.

Shiró and I did the puppy classes and the progress he made was mindblowing. Cristina developed from the first class a real profound bond with Shiró and helped me make my life and his much easier. She is a true passionate professional. I cannot recommend any other dog trainer.

In just one lesson Cristina showed me how to play with structure, we worked on recall, and she showed me how to prevent pulling on the lead. She also made me aware that all dogs are different and there is no universal solution: observe your dog and identify what reinforcement works best for him. As she says, Together is better.

I met Cristina by chance in a dog park. She had a puppy, and so did I. Things went smoothly from the get-go! Cristina is full of smiles, pleasant and easy to talk to. Above all, she is a very competent dog trainer. Bahia is now 23 months old, and we are doing nosework. The sessions are very interesting, and Bahia loves this activity.
If you’re looking for someone who is attentive to your dog’s qualities as well as any possible problems, Cristina is the one for you. She adapts to every dog, and to every owner; there’s nothing rigid in the way she teaches. It’s always a pleasure to take a class with her!
