We have used Christine twice - and if we adopt again, we will call her a third time. We adopted a one year old dog about 7 years ago and a 12 week old puppy earlier this year. Christine started each time coming to our home and required that the entire family be there. It makes sense. She trains us to train our dog and she observes the dynamics of it all (that is 7 different personalities for us!). We have ‘bully breeds’ and take very seriously that we need them well behaved, she taught us how to do that. Thank you, Christine. You are top notch.

Christine was such a wonderful resource for our family. Our mini dachshund was almost 3 1/2 months old when we started training. He was very timid and clingy and Christine did a great job of teaching him and us how to gain confidence. She has given us the tools to continue with his training and make it possible for him to enjoy other people and the world without so much fear. She comes to your home and works with your schedule to make it as easy as possible. I highly recommend Christine for her knowledge and skills. 10/10

Christine is amazing! She really got to know our dog and our family and the dynamics of our household. She is so caring, patient and calm. She not only taught us the skills needed to train our dog but gave us strategies and supports needed for our dog that go far beyond basic commands. We are grateful for all she has done for us as Harry is a very special part of our family. Ann Loehrke

Christine it’s a gem! She was a magnificent help in training our border collie lab mix, and Jack Russell terrier mix simultaneously. We even had a third dog at the time. Her instructions were clear it was an easy path to follow. We had a lot to learn and let me tell you, you can look up everything you want on the Internet, but it’s not the same as having an experienced trainer work with your unique situation. Everything on the Internet is broad scope, and our dogs were unique like most dogs are and each home is and each person is. Her experience is abundant, and her patience and kindness was equally abundant. It’s not all fun and games training your dogs. It’s a lot of work but having.a good roadmap and a good support system, as she was, gave us hope and ultimate success. 😊 Highly recommend Dogs4life. She really cares.

We had our 6 month old puppy spend 2.5 weeks with Christine in a combination of training and boarding while we were away. It was a great experience all around. Excellent communication the whole time with updates, observations, recommendations, pictures, etc. During pickup spent ample time downloading with us and teaching us all the training methods are pup had learned. Would definitely recommend and would certainly consider boarding with her in the future should the need arise.
