New Hampshire Dog Training

What others have said...

My husband and I are first time pet owners and Laura has been a tremendous help teaching us how to train our rescue puppy, Augusta. Laura is a wonderful teacher and emphasizes the importance of owners learning with their dog to build confidence and a strong bond in a positive manner.

Augusta loves “Miss Behavior” and we have all benefited from completing the STAR puppy class as well as in-home consultations. The puppy class provided great socialization and general skill training while the in home consultations have been invaluable for working on dog, owner, and space specific issues.

Laura is generous with her knowledge and time, creative, thorough and positive in her approach to dog training—she seems to have a sixth sense that helps her communicate with both dogs and people in a very productive manner! Thank you!

We cannot say enough good things about Laura and her dog training abilities. She took a untrained, normal, excitable puppy and taught us to train her to become a certified Canine Good Citizen and all around good puppy. There was no training issue we had that Laura did not have a solution for. Training a dog is easy (once you know what to do). Training the owner is more difficult. Laura is excellent at both. Her training has greatly enhanced the bond between us and Goldie. Because she is so well behaved, Goldie is welcomed openly at family and friends houses as well as hotels. We would highly recommend her for any of your dog training needs.

Hi Laura,
We just wanted to thank you for an upbeat positive class. Grumpy Growlies was a perfect class for us.

We have attended 2 previous classes elsewhere and the trainers did not focus on positive training. I did not even know there were different methods. My dog was yelled at and I was told to scold her for her fear aggression. I wondered why you would want to do that to an already stressed and fearful dog, but I trusted that they knew what they were doing.

Now that I know there is a more positive way we look forward to using our new skills and working towards Taffy being a happier, secure dog.

Thanks again!

Hi Laura,

I just wanted to reiterate what a pleasure it was to meet you today. My time with you was invaluable....I learned so much and you helped me feel more confident about what I'm doing! One of the qualities I liked about you is that you actually listened to what I had to say....I've spoken with other trainers who have their own agenda. I felt that all you offered to Reesie & me was "tailor made"! I predict you'll be so busy you'll have to turn people/dogs away!!!

And thanks so much for the boost of confidence you have given me! I felt as tho' a weight was lifted off my shoulders....the anxiety starting to "melt" away!

Warmest regards,

Liz
