We train pets and working dogs here. We are a family of dog trainers, led by Jody Johnson, certified and licensed trainer. Your dog lives with us during most training programs we offer. We also offer private session packages. We work with all breeds to solve obedience and behavioral issues. We also offer training and sales of executive protection dogs, as well as service dogs. In addition, we train scent detection and tracking dogs. One of our stand-out benefits is we spend the time to teach you how to maintain the training and even further it. We work for you!

I cannot say enough good things about this family of trainers. They are the nicest people who genuinely love what they do. This crew helped my dog develop the skills he needed to build his confidence and thrive in new and everyday environments! My dog was happy, safe, and well cared for and I would definitely use their services for boarding and training in the future.
My dog started as a foster. He was a rescue who lacked confidence. I had been working with him on my own for a few months but really needed help. When we first met Rose, she welcomed him like family. Even though he was a little nervous at first with some of the trainers, the whole team of trainers were so good with him and so patient! Watching him interact with everyone when I picked him up, just brought me so much joy. He was so happy and did great with everyone! I was really impressed with how much progress he had made with them and so grateful for their kindness and compassion towards him.
Thank you Real Life K9 team for helping my dog and for being a safe place for him to learn and grow. ♥️

Last year, Real life k9 took my dog Arlo into their program. He was young and hyper, couldn’t focus and had no confidence at all. After he got out, his confidence growth instantly showed, and his focus is so much better and he knows when to just chill out. They have a great team there, they are honest, nice, and even several months after his training they are always here to answer any questions I have. I 100% recommend these people!

Piper has anxiety and fears men, before I knew it she was walking on leash very nicely beside the owner just staring up at him with a calm demeanor. This is the real deal! I can now walk her without being dragged! My home was so chaotic before my dog took this training but now it is much calmer and though she isn't perfect and we have homework to keep her manageable, we take her with us alot more and enjoy her again!

We were looking to have our dog trained with basic obedience and several of our friends recommended Real Life K9. We decided to try them out and it has worked wonders for our puppy. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for any type of training.

Real Life K9 has been AMAZING! The communication is truly 10/10. I received pictures several times a week with updates. My experience felt very personal, and I truly felt like Nova was cared for and loved so much every step of the way !
I’m beyond impressed with how far my dog, Nova, has come!
Going-home day was such a great experience. Rose explained everything clearly and gave me easy-to-follow instructions so I can continue reinforcing Nova’s training at home and keep her commands sharp.
If you’re looking for a place to take your dog for basic obedience training, this is definitely the place to go!
