About me
I'm Laurie Luck, founder of Smart Dog University, and I've been helping dogs and their owners since 1994.
I choose to work with dog lovers because I understand how frustrating it can be to have a dog that you'd like to spend time with, but not know how to get your dog to listen.
Smart Dog University, LLC represents over a decade of learning and specializes in how to teach dogs and their people how to work together. I love what I do and have developed many happy friendships, both canine and human, along the way.
Things I'm doing
In addition to being a Karen Pryor Certified Training Partner:
- I am a professional member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT), as well as a Certified Pet Dog Trainer (CPDT).
- I am President of the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT), an international testing and certification program for professional pet dog trainers. CCPDT's certification program is based on humane training practices and the latest scientific knowledge related to dog training. Competence and continued growth in training practices is promoted through the recertification of qualified professionals.
- I raise and train service dogs for Service Dogs of Virginia, a Charlottesville, Virginia-based non-profit organization dedicated to providing service dogs to assist people with disabilities. Their goal is to help individuals in wheelchairs or with mobility impairment become more independent.
- My dog and I are Delta certified Pet Partners - Tango is a therapy dog and we are involved in the R.E.A.D Program, helping children to improve their reading skills.
- Services offered
In-home consultations, Puppy courses, Dog Manners courses, Specialty Problem-Solving courses, Canine Good Citizen courses and testing.
