About Animal Attraction Unlimited

All dogs can learn to have house manners and be wonderful members of your family, no matter what size or breed, they just need positive motivation. Laura Bourhenne founded Animal Attraction Unlimited in 1989 to help enrich the lives of pets and the people they live with through her reward-based training programs.

Based in Los Angeles, AAU offers private, in-home training for basic obedience and behavior modification, plus environmental enrichment instruction to help curb destructive habits. Laura deals with all types of unwanted behaviors from aggression, object guarding, separation anxiety, socialization, and even puppy basics and house manners. There isn't a challenge you can throw at Laura that she hasn't tackled before.

The key to having a well-behaved dog is simple, it's through patience and consistency.

About Laura Bourhenne

The best dog trainers are like the best doctors, they are constantly continuing their education. Laura earned her degree in Exotic Animal Training from Moorpark College majoring in Operant & Classical Conditioning, animal husbandry, handling and management. Laura is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, an Associate Member of the IAABC, and continues her education by attending numerous seminars and conferences each year. Laura also has a vast resource of specialized trainers and medical professionals she consults with on a regular basis.

Laura has trained several species of animals including primates, birds of prey, ponies, rats, pigs and many others, (ever hear of a tapir?) Because some animals are dangerous, it's necessary for Laura to train them from outside the cage, with no physical contact. She accomplishes this with the use of a conditioned reinforcer, known as a clicker. If you'd like more information on clicker training, check out the links to the right.

To maintain her integrity, Laura has chosen to sustain a one-person training operation instead of farming out subcontractor trainers. This insures an ongoing personal relationship of individual attention to all of her four legged clients.
