We adopted our pug mix puppy, Nelson, at 5 months, which meant an energetic dog that needed training. Nelson needed coaching, in particular, with unwanted jumping issues and Laura did it! Nelson’s behavior is so much better, and he loves the fun tricks Laura taught him.

Working with Laura training my Bichon Frise’ pup, Stella, was such a great experience for us! Laura has a positive and successful regime. I especially appreciated the one on one training tailored to Stella’s needs.

After just one session with my Great Dane puppy and I, Laura was able to help me take control and help me strategize how to incorporate my high-energy pup into my everyday routine and household activities. Each session provided me with next level skills to improve my ability to get the best behavior out of my sweet pup.

My husband and I have 7 dogs, but two are young Border Terriers that had an issue with returning to us. I engaged Laura and she tailored the training to match each dog’s personality. She made it fun for them and easy for their handler (me) to replicate at home. Both dogs are now quick to respond and come back to us when called. If there were 5 star ratings, she would garner a 6!!

I have worked with Laura for my own personal training for over 10 years. I have a young Jack Russell Terrier that Laura is working with. The training sessions are always positive and rewarding. My dog comes away feeling confident and empowered. Kind of like how I feel after my workouts with Laura! Laura is an animal lover and works with positive reinforcement. The sessions are also tailored to the dog’s particular mood and temperament at the time of training. If we are making progress, great! If it’s enough and my dog is mentally finished, we stop. I think it’s so important to have a trainer that is sensitive and understanding of the dog’s ability to learn.
