Laura, My friends are bringing their doggie to your training class tonight. Is it possible for my husband and I to come and observe? Also, we have 3 rescue dogs. Sherman 14, Hula 9, and Ernie 2. would you be able to come to our home to train?
Hi Jeannie, I sent you an email that will answer your questions. Thank you very much!

I chose Canine Learning Centers when I was looking for a dog trainer to help certify one of our dogs as a "Good Citizen." I was impressed with Laura Christiansen's credentials when I learned she had received a national award as "2015 Trainer of the Year." Since that time, I have put one or both of our dogs through good citizenship training, beginning obedience and advanced therapy dog classes. Laura and her trainers are knowledgeable, intuitive and helpful with working through behavioral issues with our dogs. Laura even came to our house to help with a problem we were having. I highly recommend Canine Learning Centers to anyone who wants the best training for their dog. A+++++ all the way!

My puppy and I have participated in two different classes offered by Canine Learning Center -- Puppy Kindergarten and Beginner Obedience. Laura Christiansen was a tremendous help to us - it's not easy adjusting to a puppy when you're used to a mature, well-behaved dog! My puppy enjoyed the classes and meeting other dogs, I looked forward to the classes every week, and I learned a lot about training my new pup! Looking forward to continuing our journey with Laura!

Our dog Sunshine has attended several classes at Canine Learning Centers and always looked forward to going to the classes. She has matured immensely, going from a pup to a mature dog. She initially learned to sit, stand, down, stay, come, go to your spot, etc. My wife Mary Anne feels so much more confident working with Sunshine after working with Laura. It was a long drive (Mission Beach) for us, but well worth it. I believe Laura's classes should be taken by all new puppy owners.
I have two Cavachon pups, litter mates. We knew we were in over our heads! I have been working with Laura since they were around 12 weeks.

I have two Cavachon pups, litter mates. We knew we were in over our heads! I have been working with Laura since they were around 12 weeks. She provided an in home consultation, and then we started her classes. We loved the socialization for them, and Laura was great with them (and us!). We've learn so much in just one year. Our dogs not only know their basic commands well, but they know so many tricks too! I highly recommend all the classes!
