Meet Scotland’s Dogtective
Christine Durrant, Certified Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and Founder of Scotland Dog Training
As a Certified Dog Pro I take pride in not only solving behaviour mysteries but providing pet parents with the tools they need to maintain long-lasting change. My goal is to teach you how to build a better relationship with your dog through mutual respect and understanding.
I specialize in working with reactive (barking and lunging at things) and fearful dogs. I’ve been a Professional Dog Trainer for over 15 years and have also worked with Guide Dogs for the Blind and Dogs for Diabetics over the years.
I’m here to help you and your pup tackle anything that comes your way!
Scotland Dog Training Services (for puppies, teens and adult dogs)
We’ll work together to solve your dog’s case in three, simple steps:
1. Investigate
With your help and goals in mind, I will begin the “investigation” phase by gathering data and analyzing your dog’s history & current behaviour issues.
2. Present
Next, I’ll present you with the cause of your dog’s unwanted behaviours. I’ll provide a customised dog training plan designed to teach your dog better behaviours.
3. Solve
We will implement the training plan step-by-step to solve your dog’s case. You and your dog will will have new skills that will last a lifetime. Life is good!
