Lauren was a LIFESAVER when I brought home my 8-week old puppy Bruce.

“Lauren was very willing to review videos I’d send her of behavior I wanted to nip in the bud and she’d provide tactical training steps I could take or videos of me training Bruce and she’d provide coaching on how I could be more effective. One thing I really appreciate about Lauren is how her training style is designed to not just meet your dog’s needs but to meet your needs as a dog parent.

Aside from how effective Lauren is as a trainer, she is a compassionate human that any dog guardian and pup would be lucky to work with! She places compassion towards the animal and their parents at the forefront of her training, as seen in her dedication towards positive reinforcement training.”

-Maddie & Bruce
