Lauren is amazing! She is very knowledgeable and is very easy to talk to! I couldn’t believe how well my little pup was with her. We have a lot of work to do but she gives such great advice and tips! I HIGHLY recommend her! Totally worth everything! 😁😁

We had one session with Lauren for our 5 month old Doodle who had some some unwanted behaviors. Lauren worked directly with us, including my three kids and after one session we had a 75% reduction in behaviors. These numbers have continued to decline as we continue working at home with our pup. We learned so many ways that we were inadvertently reinforcing negative behavior. It was hands down the best money we have spent. Truly changed our relationship with our pup. We are looking forward to additional sessions. Would absolutely recommend.
Amazing and knowledgeable!!! Lauren is not only a great trainer, but also treats your dog as an individual and knows that not every dog is the same. Gives that one on one attention. Highly recommend!! You won’t be sorry!!!

I can’t recommend Lauren enough! My pups behavior is night & day after doing a10 day board & train. The progress was so incredibly fast that I actually took my pup for a second round while I went on vacation so she could continue her training after getting a good foundation. Everyone who interacts with my pup regularly will attest to what a difference this training has made. She’s a Covid pup so socialization got interrupted & she’s got little dog syndrome so there’s a lot of attitude to overcome & Lauren is always patient with her & me 😅 I needed a lot of tips on how to correct behavior. Plus Lauren’s a great resource to follow up with & has provided continuous support! & most importantly, I feel 100% confident that my pup will be safe & cared for while I’m away & she’s in Laurens hands & I can’t say how much peace of mind that provides me 🙌
Lauren worked wonders with our 7-month-old Red Fox Lab, Cedar. We knew that our pup was smart, but we couldn’t figure out how to channel her high energy level by ourselves. After just a couple of Board & Train days, Cedar was on her way to becoming a new pup. We now know what bot…Read full reviewClose full review
Lauren worked wonders with our 7-month-old Red Fox Lab, Cedar. We knew that our pup was smart, but we couldn’t figure out how to channel her high energy level by ourselves. After just a couple of Board & Train days, Cedar was on her way to becoming a new pup. We now know what both Cedar and we are capable of thanks to Lauren’s professionalism and patience during her training sessions. Cedar’s transformation was truly remarkable! We highly recommend Lauren for your dog.
