Train Those Dogs

We met Laura at Petco the first week had our new puppies. We had just picked up our two 8 week old Australian Labradoodles from the breeder and knew we needed help training them. Laura has come to our house twice a week for a few months and she has been such a help! The puppies love her (she’s their treat lady) and she has been such a help with really practical things like taking the dogs in public and teaching them how to behave so you can enjoy coffee or a meal without them jumping or barking. She has also taken them on walks with us and shown us how to keep them focused on the walk and not on all the other dogs around them but allowing them to enjoy their time, too! We highly recommend her and her services- we’ve enjoyed being around her as much as we have appreciated her help!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Laura! When Luna came to us as a young puppy, we wanted to help her grow into a confident, well-mannered companion, and Laura has been instrumental in that journey. Through patience, consistency, and an obvious love for dogs, she helped Luna master important skills like sit, stay, walking politely on a leash, and greeting people without jumping. She also helped Luna become more comfortable with everyday experiences that can be challenging for puppies, building her confidence in a positive and encouraging way. What truly sets Laura apart is the way she works with both the dog and the owners. She helped us understand Luna's personality, gave us practical tools to reinforce good behavior at home, and always celebrated Luna's progress along the way. She was also incredibly responsive whenever we had questions and provided guidance that was realistic, effective, and easy to implement. Luna absolutely adores her (and her amazing training treats!). We appreciated Laura's encouragement, expertise, and genuine investment in Luna’s success. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and effective trainer who genuinely wants your dog to succeed, we wholeheartedly recommend Laura. Luna is a happier, more confident, and better-behaved puppy because of her.

We have struggled with our dog reacting on leash to everything - other dogs, squirrels, cars, etc. Laura taught us so much about how to work on this - things like passing other dogs and correcting unwanted behavior while still letting the dog smell, play, and do dog things. Would highly recommend Laura to anyone struggling with their dogs’ behavior - she is professional, punctual, friendly, and she truly knows how to “speak dog” 😊
