Lauren was a total lifesaver for me. I rescued a dog who'd been mistreated and had aggression and fear-based anxiety. Her name is Zelda. Zelda's a two year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd, and sits at a light 45 lb. I was questioning my ability to handle her properly, so I found Lauren based on a mutual friend that referred me to here. Upon the first conversation, she was honest, direct and clearly passionate about positive training. Lauren's approach is reward based, positive reinforcement, and consistent. She trains the owner and the dog so that confidence and trust is built for both. Lauren introduced multiple methods for training, and if something didn't work for my dog, she quickly readjusted course to best suit my little Zelda. She introduced me to amazing professionals who are still in my dog's life such as vets and groomers alongside the best dog foods in the area. Lauren continues to have a positive impact on Zelda, and is helping me train her to be the best dog she can be. I would recommend Lauren to anyone who is looking for a trainer who provides professional and positive training that has a lasting impact. read more
