DOG TRAINER

Laura Christiansen, CPDT Owner / Director / Trainer

I’m Laura Christiansen. I have been a trainer/behaviorist for over 30 years. I have worked with thousands of dogs of different breed, temperament, and behavioral issues. The exposure I have had has been invaluable to my experience as a trainer.

I believe that the training of a dog is not just about teaching the mechanics of sit, down, stay, heel etc. I teach dedicated owners to understand, connect, and develop an inseparable bond with their pet. My training methods use the tools of knowledge, love, and respect. There’s no other training program that offers this type of insight of the dog/human relationship.

My training programs are invaluable to every dedicated dog owner! Spend the time needed in the beginning and at the end of your beloved pets life you will never ever forget the beautiful bond created.
