My husband and I are so glad we chose Laura to train our Shorkie puppy. Our puppy was beginning to develop some bad habits that had the potential to turn into major problems down the road (resource guarding/bone aggression, ignoring commands, jumping up on people, excessive barking, leash pulling, etc), and our own efforts to correct these behaviors were getting us nowhere. One of the great things about having a one-on-one trainer, as opposed to a class, is that the training sessions can be personalized to your dog's needs. Laura addressed each of our concerns and taught us how to teach and reinforce desired behaviors and correct and discourage unwanted behaviors. She also made us aware of ways that we were unknowingly encouraging unwanted behaviors. Our puppy loved the training sessions and responded very well to Laura's methods. Even after one session, we had family members commenting on the improvement they noticed in our puppy's behavior. This was money well spent, and we definitely recommend Laura to anyone in need of training for their dog!
