Christine Johnson Whole Dog Trainer and Wellness Coach


Let  me start by sharing a story, my dog Strider, who has crossed over to  the rainbow bridge, was a top competitor dog earning five champion  titles before the age of three. 


Strider,  viciously attacked by another dog while at a competition, which altered  his behavior and ended his show career. I had to seek a solution for  his “kill or be killed" dog aggression issues. So like many, I hired  trainers but had little success and then I took him to a "premier"  facility which is known for its work with aggression issues. Here shaped  my beliefs and philosophy in training.


The  methods they taught were based upon intimidation, harsh corrections,  and submitting. My beautiful dog flipped bell up then peed on himself as  the trainer instructed me to continue with correction after correction  for compliance. I thought to myself, “I can't do this" "this is not  training"!

 So that is the end of that. 


From  here I sought out a new path and attended many classes/schools to learn  how to heal emotional, mental and physical imbalances working through  the energy of the dog. Sits and downs don’t always resolve emotional  issues.


I  developed effective methods without intimidation that worked for me and  my training programs. Hence my mission: Building a Brighter Tomorrow  for Today's Pets. One in which I have had great success.


Over  time Strider became the ambassador of my training program, a kind,  loving, and a gentle leader as you will see him in many of my videos,  working with puppies, helping timid and fearful dogs with socialization  skills, as he worked side by side showing them the ropes. Hard to  believe that he was a dog aggressive.


His  story ended well and along the way he was a great teacher for me and  was instrumental in my training to help dogs and their humans. 


 I am open to learning the different aspect of training, styles, techniques, tools, and therapy's.  I take what I have learn and apply it to my philosophy of balancing the whole dog, mentally, physically, and emotionally. I have fine-tuned my craft with effective, motivational methods, that are easy to follow for both the dog and their people, to learn and understand.


 My focus is to assist families to find solutions for their training needs that are effective and dog friendly. Thank you for visiting my website, please take your time and enjoy the information that only my experience can provide for you and your dog.
