At Laura Carter Canines, we believe that playing games and having fun with your dog can truly transform your relationship. Unlike traditional dog training that focuses on strict obedience and commands, our approach is all about building trust, communication, and a deep connection between you and your furry friend—all while having a great time together.
We turn training into something enjoyable and rewarding, where every session feels more like playtime than a chore. When your dog is happy and engaged, they’re not just learning—they’re thriving!
Whether you love the idea of in-person training at our beautiful location, The Old Potting Shed, near Johnshaven, Montrose, Scotland, or need the flexibility of online training you can do from home, we’ve got you covered. We offer the best of both worlds to suit your lifestyle.
Our goal is simple: to help you and your dog strengthen your bond through fun, interactive games and enriching activities that leave tails wagging
