Laura -
We just wanted to thank you for the
initial training and techniques you gave us to work with our 6-month
old Terrier, Maggie. We have seen some great improvement in
the visits we've had with you, and our worries are lessening every
day, about weather or not the house, screens, doors, etc. will all be
in one piece when we come home from work. Your
insight as to her temperament and behavior tendencies have helped us
realize how to not only deal with a Terrier breed, but her specific
personality as well. I'm
sure we'll have more sessions in the future, as we fine tune other
behaviors when they present themselves.
Again, thank you!

Working with Laura has been like sending our husky/retriever puppy to
finishing school. Her training and problem-solving techniques helped us
navigate the usual growing pains with confidence, and she's been there to offer
practical advice whenever a new phase of Klondike's development made us wonder,
"Where did THAT come from??" The only drawback has been
having to find a new excuse for extending a work deadline -- I can no longer
say, "The dog ate my first draft."

"Laura is not so much a dog trainer as a miracle worker. In record time,
our three "hopeless" dogs were putty in her hands. From
curbing excessive barking to teaching our nervous and jittery rescue dog how
to use the stairs, no job was too big or too small. I don't so much
recommend her
as wonder how anyone could get along without her."
"I train animals in the entertainment industry and am often asked about private training. I always refer them to Laura because she is knowledgeable, experienced, and talented. I truly believe in her method and approach and know that the dogs I send to her will be in good hands. I myself often seek her advice for dogs I rescue from shelters that have behavioral issues."
Laura,
Tucker and I appreciate and thank you for all your help. I'm really beginning to see a difference in his wild ways!

When we brought home our beautiful Boxer puppy Roxy we knew she was going to
be well trained. We thought it would be so easy to do it ourselves.
We read a lot of books and tried working with her on our own. What a
mistake! We just got frustrated. We decided it was time to
work with a dog trainer. We tried a couple and we didn't see any results.
We thought at this point it was hopeless. A friend recommended we should
meet Laura. We did and we couldn't believe the immediate results we saw
with Roxy. We were so happy with the techniques Laura uses when she is
training. We think she is a miracle worker. Roxy is so well trained
today we know this wouldn't be possible if we didn't work with Laura.
Laura is the best and we are so lucky to have met her.

When we decided we would get 2 Scotty puppies, both female
and sisters, we had no idea what was in store for us. We called Laura when they
were 11 weeks old (we had had them 3 weeks) and we still rely on her today (the
puppies will be 2 on March 2, 2002). She has been able to help us train them but
more importantly, she has been able to train us to manage them. Instead of
2 bossy, unruly, territorial terriers, we have 2 loving, playful, companionable
dogs who are a joy to have and who get along beautifully with other dogs. We are
frequently complimented on our dogs' wonderful behavior and demeanor.
