About Kristie’s Kritters Kustom Kare Animal Training & Resources

Training, grooming and care in Northwest Florida

Kristie's Kritters Kustom Kare Animal Training and Resources is a Pensacola dog training, grooming, boarding and pet sitting business serving Northwest Florida. Owner and head trainer Kristie Peiffer (CCBC, CGCE, ABCMDT) leads a team that includes trainer Nicole Mills (ABCDT). The business cites over 30 years of experience and pairs positive reinforcement with what it calls a balanced energy approach, focusing training on the dog's brain rather than harsh tools.
