Dog Training Based on Science
Welcome!
​My name is Chris Durrant, CPDT-KA. I am a Professional, Certificated Dog Trainer located in Stranraer Scotland. Currently I am servicing dog training clients in person in Lochans, Stranraer and Port Patrick. I offer complete puppy training (manners, potty training, crate training, biting, chewing), help with basic manners for adult dogs and I specialize in both fear and reactivity in dogs. I love and understand dogs on a deep level - how they learn and think, what makes them happy and attentive and what causes them to act out.
Whether your dog pulls on leash, chews up the furniture, barks at other dogs or is fearful of things, I can help.
My training techniques are designed to be fun, build confidence (for you and your dog), and change behaviors quickly and effectively. I take pride in offering force-free, scientifically proven methods.

Chris helped us train our 5 month old husky. The biggest help for us was crate training. She showed us techniques/tricks to get him to love his crate. He goes in willingly now without any treats! Chris was very attentive and responded in a timely manner whenever we had questions. I'd highly recommend her! - Kevin S. (Neo the Husky)
CHRIS! Where do I even start? Chris came into our lives when I had just about exhausted all of our options (online videos, books, Google everything). Not only was she kind, great spirited, she came with firm HOMEWORK and we did an action plan filled with interactive training. She will move at your speed.I couldn't have moved past our barriers without her and I am truly thankful for the weeks we spent together. Particularly she helped us with: Jumping, Stay, Leave It, Mat Training, going on walks and Coming when called. - Jessica W. (Reese the Bulldog)
Chris is a true dog whisperer! I have been working with her for reactivity training for my 6 year old Cockapoo. I saw an immediate improvement in his behavior just half way through the first session. Chris does a great job of explaining the tools, showing you how to coach the dog, then turning the leash over and coaching the owner through it in real time. I'd highly recommend her training programs as well as her products - the harness works like a charm! - Julie B. (Graham the Cockapoo)
Dog training is a partnership and should be based on mutual trust and understanding. I will show you how to train your dog without the use of force. This includes no prong, choke or shock (e-collars) ever. You will feel good about the training and your dog will, too! My science-based training is more effective because it changes behaviors rather than suppressing them.
Private Dog Training sessions are available remotely from any area or in-person in:

While I will take the age, size and breed of your dog into account, my training methods are equally effective for all dogs. With the right instruction, you will find the training to be effective, enjoyable and highly rewarding for you, your dog and your entire family.
