"If you are looking for an awesome dog trainer, Christina is the person for the job.  She took my crazy, misbehaved dogs Maizy and Sparky and turned them into different dogs!  Through the few weeks they stayed with
​Christina, they learned a ton of commands.  Christina does not only train dogs, she trains the
owner so they can continue to help their
​dogs become better pets."

Learn More About Board and Train

Louie's behavior has improved in pretty much every way, and while we have work to do to carry on what Tina started, we feel like we were provided a clear map and tools needed to do that continued work. We are able to train her until she calms down and behaves when guests come over, whereas before she sometimes wouldn't even let people come in the house. She is also much better with people knocking at the door. We also learned how to clip and Dremel Louie's nails from Tina.
We are so grateful to Tina and Balanced Life K9 Training for putting down such firm roots for our relationship with our girl, and for staying in touch when ever we reach out with questions about anything. Thank you!!!
Steph, Kieran & Louie
