Meet Christine Kisser | Professional Dog Trainer in Maple Ridge & Greater Vancouver BC

Meet Christine Kisser | Professional Dog Trainer in Maple Ridge & Greater Vancouver BC

If you’re struggling with your dog’s behavior — or want real, lasting results — you’re in the right place.

Christine Kisser is the founder of Ruffdog Sports and a professional dog trainer with over 30 years of experience helping dogs and their owners succeed — from family pets to world-level competition dogs.

This isn’t generic dog training.

Christine works with:

  • Dogs that don’t listen
  • High-energy or difficult dogs
  • Owners who are frustrated and need real solutions

Proven Results at the Highest Level

  • 30+ years of professional dog training experience
  • World Championship competitor in IGP
  • National-level results in both Canada and the USA
  • Extensive experience with high-drive and complex dogs

👉 Very few trainers in the Vancouver area bring this level of hands-on experience.

Working with Christine to train your dog means:

  • A dog that listens consistently — not just sometimes
  • Calm, controlled behavior at home and in public
  • Clear expectations your dog understands
  • Faster progress with fewer setbacks

This is where most training programs fall short — and where Ruffdog stands apart.

Christine works with her dog training clients across:

Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Mission, Langley, Abbotsford, Surrey, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, and Greater Vancouver including North and West Vancouver

Christine is known for her ability to:

  • Read dogs quickly and accurately
  • Adapt training to each dog and handler
  • Explain training in a clear, practical way

Her goal is not just to coach you and train your dog in a clear, balanced obedience style — but to help owners build a strong, reliable relationship with their dog.
