Expert Dog & Puppy Training

Professional Puppy and Dog Training That Builds Connection and Confidence: Dealing with puppy potty training, constant leash pulling, or jumping on guests? You’re not alone, and there’s a clear path forward.

At Dogs 4 Life Training and Wellness, Christine Johnson brings over two decades of training experience, helping families at every stage—from first-time pet owners to those who’ve tried everything. Her whole dog approach goes beyond basic obedience, helping you understand why your dog is struggling and what they actually need to succeed physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Most behavior issues stem from miscommunication and inconsistency. Our dog training programs teach families how to become clear communicators and get their dog to listen, understand, and respond appropriately.

With practical, real-world guidance and a wellness-first philosophy, you’ll gain more than just control. You’ll build the clarity, connection, and confidence that makes life with your dog genuinely enjoyable. In-Home Training and Puppy Board and Train Options Available.

What Our Customers Have to Say

Tailored Training That Transformed Roxie

Roxie was adopted as a young pup with an unknown background. We have had Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers in the past and didn’t appreciate the difference in training techniques that would be necessary for Roxie.

We hired Christine for in home training, mostly for training us. She was able to teach us how to communicate effectively with Roxie and to not give her ‘mixed’ messages. Now there are no free lunches, Roxie has gone from being unruly to listening and actually enjoying ‘working’ while she is training.

She is anxious to please and willing to listen. We are committed to life long training with Roxie. What we now realize is that communicating and training each dog requires evaluation of that individual dog’s personality which Christine did very well. Roxie loves her and will miss our regular training sessions as we ‘head out’ on our own. It is too bad that we don’t have before and after videos.

For us Christine was the super nanny for dogs!
