I have been working with Laura training my mother’s 4year old boxer. She listened to our particular situation and was encouraged and patient. Jazzy warmed up to her and was quick to pick up on the training challenges. I am so impressed by Laura’s knowledge and feel so encouraged that Jazzy can work through her challenging behaviors and continue to bring our family years of joy. Thank you Laura
Great one on one training with great fear free methods. Laura is very patient and knowledgeable with her positive reinforcement tactics for my overly excited pup. I am very thankful for the tools she taught me to set my puppy up for success with my family.

Laura was so wonderful with our dog Theo. She knew immediately how to make him comfortable so we could jump into some training. Going to the vet or doing basic care things (nail trims, teeth brushing etc.) have been so difficult for Theo in the past and Laura was able to work with us to find the best ways to improve Theo's comfort with these things. We are so excited with his progress! Would highly recommend Laura for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and patient trainer.
Becca and her team are incredible and really know what they are doing. They helped my anxious, reactive dog gain so much confidence and calm down. I will be forever grateful for the tools she provided. I highly recommend them for any training needs.
