I’m Lauri Green CPDT-KA (they/them), a dog trainer with a passion for positive reinforcement and animal liberation. My approach is fun and reward-based, strengthening bonds through play. I specialize in building confidence in shy/rescue dogs, socialization, and off-leash listening skills. I steer clear of harsh methods like choke, prong, or shock collars. Our time together is so much more than just a walk! It’s a chance for your dog to engage in fun, interactive learning that improves their canine etiquette, builds impulse control, boosts self-confidence, and works toward your specific training goals. Every session is designed to be enriching and purposeful, helping your dog thrive both mentally and physically.
