Puppy Kindergarten with socialization, K9 Nose Work or Scent Training, Agility for Fun, Obedience Training and Canine Good Citizen Class & Test. Laura Christiansen, Owner / Director / Trainer /
I’m Laura Christiansen. 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.

Meet "Bean" Little Yorkie in the back. Bean is a machine gun barker. She barks at anything that moves and is afraid of dogs. We have been working privately for a bit and have made tremendous progress. Although she still keeps her distance (and she is allowed that option). She went for a walk with Cade and Spice and sniffed both of their bums! πŸ₯°
