OUR STORY & TRAINING APPROACH
Quest Canine Support and Education was born from a personal journey of growth and understanding in the pet-dog relationship. Whether your life with your dog involves cozying up on the couch, taking neighbourhood strolls, or embarking on adventures, the core elements remain the same: trust, empathy, and communication.
Our training approach is grounded in humane principles, focusing on positive reinforcement, desensitization, environmental management, relationship building, enrichment, and play. Laura's big-picture perspective seeks to understand who your dog is and how you can support their growth. With her extensive experience and personal journey with her own dogs, Laura tailors training plans that address problematic behaviors and integrate training into your lifestyle, fostering a strong and adaptable relationship with your dog.
