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!

Roxanne and I are former students. We’ve moved to a new home where there are a LOT of dogs walking. Yesterday we went on our first walk in the neighborhood. Anxious because, admittedly, we haven’t been religious about all of the rules. I’m so excited to report… not only were we NOT the worst behaved walkers, we may have been the BEST. Thanks for giving us the skills we need to be Model Citizens

This review is way over due but Christine was amazing with Karma! Before Karma went to training she was a almost 2 year old untrained (and it showed) Rottweiler, wild, rude and on the obnoxious side. She's been home now since June 4th and is wonderful! I can now take her places that I was never able to before like Home Depot, pet supply plus, petsmart and I even brought her to a restaurant where they allow dogs on the patio. So many people complimented on her behavior. Some of my friends and family are convinced she switched dogs on us lol. She sent me regular updates and videos of her progress which was awesome. even after day 3 i was amazed! I will never own a dog again that I wont send to Christine. it was well worth it!

We adopted our pup when she was about a year old. She was a stray and not used to being in a household. Our new pup dug under fences, chewed couches and pillows, and jumped on everyone she met. After a handful of visits with Chris (and our homework completed diligently each time), she stopped chewing inappropriately, would sit, stay, go to her place or crate, and while she still looks for love from everyone she meets, she is far less jumpy. We really appreciated that Chris started her training with the entire family, including our three children. This helped us all to get on the same page right away. I highly recommend Chris!

I can’t say enough good things about Christine. We took our four month old French Bulldog, Piper to Dogs 4 Life for 12 days of boarding and training. We can’t believe the change we’ve seen with Piper!!! (Take a look at some of the videos that are posted.) She now follows basic commands, is well adapted to being in her kennel and is all around a better trained Puppy! Working with Christine has been a great experience and we are extremely happy with her work with Piper. I would highly recommend Christine and Dogs 4 Life.

This a review for Christine with dogs 4 life. she worked with us and our dog, tyla. tyla is a rescue pup that has been through 3 homes....we are her fourth (and forever). needless to say, she came in quite anxious and unsure of herself. christine knew how to modify the training to fit tyla's personality and needs. now, not only does tyla sit, stay, and wait...she walks with confidence, makes eye contact, and wags that tail! (not mention has a bit of a prance in her step!) thank you, christine!

Christine helped trained my dog in a board and train for my 1 1/2 y/o yorkiepoo and did an excellent job. Before my dog was lunging, jumping, not listening in distractions, pulling, barking at other dogs and hated car rides. He has improved alot in many areas, at first i couldnt believe he was my CoCo. He is now a better version of himself and now iam able to take him on a walk without stressing he will try to lunge and bark at other dogs. He is polite gentleman! Thanks Christine for all your hard work and making a difference! Now me and Coco can both be happy on our nice long walks and enjoy going on car rides

I call Christine at Dog 4 Life to help me teach the basics to my 1 year old collie pups. We did the in home training so she could work with the whole family. She was great in providing us the tools we needed. I recently went back to Christine as one of my boys has become a bit reactive while we are out for a walk (especially if I walk them together). We worked one on one and again she gave me great tools and directions (I needed to be taught how to handle my dog in those situations). Now I feel comfortable going out and working with my dog so we can both enjoy our walks together. Thanks Christine!

Dogs 4 Life Board and Training Dog Program focuses on a whole dog approach based on the health, physical traits, temperament, breed qualities, and mental ability of each individual dog. We also include dietary changes and herbal remedies, if needed, that will support our program and will aid in your dog’s training.

This is why our board and training dog program is so successful. We do not consider every dog to be the same and therefore each dog’s training may differ.
