My Mother & Sister came to the house & I was able to have them stay down until I saw they were calm enough to say hello.  Once I said Free Dog, they were less interested in my mother & sister & just kind of walked around & did their thing. Love this!

Laurie and her staff have done a tremendous job with our dog Ozzy! He is a little guy with a big heart for our family, however towards strangers he turns into what we call “Cujo”. Although I thought I had control over Ozzy, I realized I didn’t when he bit the electrician at our house one day. Ozzy attended “Doggie Boot Camp” and while there, Laurie was able to observe and understand why Ozzy acted the way he did. She discovered Ozzy has fear issues and turns aggressive when scared. Laurie was able to give us the tools necessary to relax Ozzy and allow him to just be a dog. Throughout the Boot Camp and training sessions the staff has been very knowledgeable and eager to help. I was also impressed with the additional information emailed with videos and pictures reinforcing techniques we had been taught. By understanding Ozzy and giving him (and us) the guidance and direction we need, his nickname of “Cujo” is slowly being forgotten. The hardest part was finding someone who understands dog language, and Laurie does! Ozzy continues to attend doggy daycare that will reinforce his new attitude while allowing him to get some good exercise and socialization. It is reassuring to know while we are away for the day or overnight, Ozzy will have a safe and loving option compared to the kennel that literally kicked him in his crate out the door after a five day stay! Laurie and staff: thank you for allowing Ozzy to show his heart to more people! You guys are truly amazing!!!

Sending my two Jack Russell puppies to Laurie’s Boot Camp was a great decision. They were sweet pups but full of energy and a bit out of control. They would mercifully chase my cats around the house. I would try to correct them and they completely ignored me. What a difference!  They actually listen to me now. If I correct them, they stop. They are also more respectful of the cats. They are calmer in general and walk on leash great now. We can enjoy each other’s company instead of me being aggravated by their bravado.

Kona is doing great....I took her to pick up the kids, we walked through a crowd of people with little kids petting her, and she did awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
