I attended Brittany's puppy socialization class with my lab puppy and had a great time! My puppy…read moreand I both looked forward to the classes each week, and I definitely recommend this class to anyone with a new puppy that needs to meet other dogs and learn some basic etiquette. The classes typically involve... (1) lots of puppy romping and opportunities to burn energy (2) obedience lessons for the humans - it's a bit too chaotic to do actual obedience training but Brittany walks through her top tips for a common command like sit, stay, come, etc. (3) exposure to items like hair dryers, toothbrushes, and walkers that puppy might not otherwise come in contact with (4) lots of time to tap into Brittany's knowledge and expertise as a trainer and puppy expert

Do not willingly send your dog to this location of No Leash Needed…read more We did puppy preschool at the Hampton location and everyone was great. He learned quickly and was always happy to go. So when I tried to book him for a 4 night boarding there, I was disappointed but felt confident another location would be just as good. I can't believe how wrong I was... Sobek (my 5month old pup) goes to day camp 3-4x/week and has never been this dirty in his life. Even after a whole month! After just 4 days here he came back with his fur on the edge of matting, smelly, with signs he had peed himself and not been cleaned after. His eyes were caked with tears to the point one could not fully open. His tail had a clear spot of matted hair where he'd been chewing too! When they took him out front to me, his harness was not properly tightened for the leash position they were using and it was pulling on muscles in what I can only imagine was painful. Since we've been home he has alternated between crying and napping, not wanting to be more than a foot or two from me. I was a little concerned when I called to check in on him after his first night and they said that they have no cameras on the kennels and no one with the dogs overnight, but couldn't do anything about it while out of town and still had trust for the name brand. Never again.

I've been training with Lynsey and Infinite Pawsibilities for about 6 years now. My dachshund has…read morebeen through obedience, agility and barn hunt training with Lynsey as well as private lessons for assistance with earth dog. My dog has had wonderful success getting her obedience Canine Good Citizen title and advanced titles in the other sports we've trained as well. For me the great part about training with Lynsey is that she is able to look at an end result and break that down into smaller, more manageable training pieces which will eventually combine into the more complicated end result. Additionally when we are hit with a training problem she is able to approach the problem from multiple angles sometimes finding insight that less rounded trainers just can't. She is always responsive and helpful with deep concern for her clients. Constantly improving to give her customers the best experience and easiest interaction possible inside and out of the classroom.

Her special insight honed in on a special treat making the older dog jealous. We removed that problem and she guided us having them interact unrestrained. It went super well and within a day they were sharing the back yard for #2 simultaneously. She explained dog behavior and helped us to not overreact to appropriate dog manners. We're going to have her come back and help us with training of the older dog and the new puppy moving forward. We plan to do it right this time. Highly recommend.

Found Bob through our vet and ever since, our dog has been a calm, submissive, obedient dog at only 11 months old. The training that Bob and his granddaughter put her through was incredible.

Thank you Bob Laut and company. -the Turners

My experience with Bob echoes those of other reviewers who found his training methods excessively…read moreforceful, compulsion-focused, and unresponsive to the signals my dog was sending. Not only did I find his training style personally objectionable, it set my dog's forward progress back by desensitizing him to low-force corrections (which he has always been quite responsive to) and triggering several instances of severe dog reaction while Bob was working with us. I initially got in touch with Bob to help with my 60 lb pit bull's reactivity problem. I have invested many hours and dollars training him, and he is well-behaved and obedient with minor exceptions - dogs and door knocks being the two I wanted Bob's help with. When I called Bob, he made several assumptions about my training and interactions with my dog, almost all of which were inaccurate. He spoke over me and did not show interest in what I've done so far, choosing instead to point to mistakes he thought I was making, only for me to say "no, I've been training my dog for years, we don't do that." When he arrived, as planned, he knocked on my door, and my dog started barking. I crated my dog, opened the door for Bob, and then let my dog out of the crate when he stopped barking. My dog greeted Bob curiously, and then slowly got more excited, finally jumping on Bob. Bob's reaction was (no exaggeration!) to karate chop my dog in the neck, to which my dog immediately began reacting, growling and barking at Bob. This took my dog from curious and cautious to downright protective. Bob then told me that I had to correct my dog into stopping his reaction. I got his attention and he eventually calmed down. He then took about 10 minutes to readjust and meet Bob calmly again. While I don't want my dog jumping on visitors (and he almost never does), I am confident there are methods less forceful than a karate chop to make the change. To be clear, *Bob is the only visitor my dog has ever reacted this way with.* It's clear to me that Bob triggered the reaction and it seems he wanted credit for putting out the fire that he started. Following this, we went out for the planned walk. We went in the direction of dogs, and Bob instructed me to not allow mine to look at other dogs. When we came across a German Shepherd, I told my dog "Leave it," which he ignored. We were about 50 feet away, and Bob asked if he could take the leash, which I allowed. He loudly told my dog "Leave it!", which my dog, again, ignored. Bob then issued such a forceful correction on the prong collar that the bag holder attached to the leash broke apart. This, predictably, caused my dog to go from uncomfortable and suspicious of the other dog, to a full-blown fight-or-flight reaction (growling, barking, and pulling). Bob issued several more high-force corrections on the prong and then kicked my dog twice. Only when the German Shepherd went away did my dog stop reacting. After this, Bob told me that the "solution is an e-collar." To be clear, I have found success with balanced training methods, including corrections on a prong collar. I am not opposed to e-collars, BUT Bob then suggested that the only way to get my dog to stop reacting was to issue a shock so strong "it would get all 4 of [my dog's] feet off the ground." I have no interest in using a tool solely to inflict pain on my dog. We did this exercise with a couple more dogs, and each time, the heavy corrections triggered the initial reaction and failed to get him to stop once he was going. Bob's style is almost purely compulsion-based, and while this may elicit the desired changes in some dogs, it is rooted in a theory of training that hasn't been the norm for literal decades. It causes unnecessary pain and stress to the dog, and, crucially, is less effective than many other training styles. Bob also made several off-hand comments while we were together, including that he flipped a driver off while he was walking into my building (???) and that the way to get a dog to stop barking in its crate is to bang the top of the crate with a skillet and yell at the dog. I found his behavior strange and unprofessional. I ended up cutting our 2 hour session short and paying Bob for 1 hour of his time at his hourly rate of $195/hr.

She imparted such good knowledge to help us understand what we were doing incorrectly and what we needed to do to get our little Winston potty trained and behaviorally trained. In only 5 lessons, we learned so much as did Winston. I can't thank Kim enough for helping us.
