"My class with Laurel was great. She makes learning fun! She has such a neat personality!!!"

"I now have a well-behaved five-month old puppy that is a joy to be with, thanks to Laurel’s training and her consultations with me."

"Wow, what a change from the days when I would end up in tears by the end of our walks. It was shocking, it's almost too good to be true!"
