Building relationships beyond basic obedience

You love your dog, but sometimes you feel like you are living with the class troublemaker.  

There's nothing like the joy and comfort a dog can bring to your life.  And your dog's behavior can also be frustrating and overwhelming. Let me help you with programs designed to help you go from chaos to calm. 

Whether you have a new puppy who seems to treat every waking moment as a free-for-all recess, a dogolescent who's too cool for school, or a dog who is failing leash walking 101, I can help you get ahead of the learning curve.

Or maybe you feel trapped in your home due to your dog's separation anxiety or inability to walk where they may see another dog?  Let's get you on the path to rejoining the outside world.

Training Options

Virtual courses, programs, separation anxiety assessment and training or individualized training.

What Clients Say

"An important part of the support team"

"An Excellent Instructor"

"Her recommendations helped tremendously"

"My dog was a very anxious puppy who hated being left alone and just couldn’t calm himself. With Laura’s help and support, my dog, Max, is now able to settle down and calmly wait until I return."

"Laura was able to break down concepts and basic skills for those less experienced participants, while also helping those of us with more experience ...continue to learn and proof those skills"

Laura is very knowledgeable, has a deep love for animals and is caring, calm, and kind and the situation with my cat has improved greatly. I highly recommend her.
