‘Before you get a dog, you can’t quite imagine what living with one might be like; afterward, you can’t imagine living any other way.’
by Caroline Knapp
Hi, my name is Laura and I am a dog behaviourist and trainer based in Christchurch. I provide positive, modern and ethical dog training with an emphasis on behaviour and fun!
I graduated with a Masters degree in Clinical Animal Behaviour from the University of Lincoln. Having worked with dogs for most of my life I have experience with a wide variety of breeds, including 6 years working with German Shepherd service dogs.
I can help you communicate and bond better with your dog using positive reinforcement as well as innovative based force-free methods that are fun for both dogs and humans.
If you would like to chat about which package would be most suitable for your dog’s needs, I do offer a free 10 minute phone call, Face Time or Skype session.
Key services offered include behavioural consultations, 1-2-1 personal training and various dog training packages.
