Meet the Trainers

Christina Dore – Head Dog Trainer

Christina Dore has always had a love and a natural understanding with dogs. It was only a matter of time before Christina became the professional Atlanta dog trainer and behavior specialist that she is today.

Dogs have always played an important role in Christina’s life. Since her introduction to canines and the hardships they can often face, due to completely treatable behavior issues, Christina always knew she wanted to assist dogs in some way or another. The deep connection and love she felt with dogs was not only a steady source of comfort, but also motivation. 

In addition to years of personal experience with dogs, Christina completed a challenging dog training certification course with John Van Olden of Canine Trade Group. The course includes a thorough study of the scientific theories behind the modification of dog behavior and all areas of training from simple to complex.

Elijah Lightfoot – Professional Atlanta Dog Trainer

Elijah is a professional dog trainer with over five years of hands-on experience and a lifelong passion for working with dogs. He spent more than a decade living in the Netherlands, where his connection with animals truly took shape and laid the foundation for his future in dog training.

After relocating to Atlanta eight years ago, Elijah began training his own dogs, which quickly grew into his first professional training role. Since then, he has developed a strong understanding of canine behavior and a wide range of training methods, allowing him to tailor his approach to each dog’s unique needs and each owner’s goals.

Elijah speaks multiple languages—but dog will always be his favorite.

Laura Harris – Professional Atlanta Dog Trainer

Laura started caring for and training dogs as a child. She and her parents competed in dog shows on weekends and during the summer. There, she learned what good behavior and handling were all about.

Having a dog at home developed Laura’s natural talent and taught her how to read and communicate with her canine friends. Now, she boasts 35 years of owning, training, and caring for dogs. She has worked with a variety of breeds and prides herself on knowing the strengths and traits of each. She uses this knowledge and positive reinforcement to help dogs and owners modify undesirable behavior.

In 2007, Laura went in search of a place to care for her rambunctious Labrador puppy. She recognized a need in her community and purchased The Dog House Daycare, which she successfully operated for 9 years. In 2015, she started working with a local training and walking company which required visiting approximately 15 clients weekly.
