Christine Nicole Ferris

Christine Nicole Ferris calls Indiana home. Ten years of participation in the Elkhart County 4-H program cultivated a love for public speaking and canine training, two passions that have shaped her life and career as a canine leadership trainer. From an early age, Christine’s dogs became one of God’s richest classrooms for developing her character, and they continue to play a significant role in her personal growth on a daily basis. Her walk with Christ has been deepened as aspects of her relationship with God have become more tangible through her work with the many dogs she has owned and trained. Christine and her husband, David, love to start each day with Bible time, prayer, and a good cup of coffee. Together they team up to teach leadership principles with a canine component and thrive on serving their community in as many ways as possible with their two golden retrievers, Trustee and Trouper, and their rough collie, Lad’s Legend.
