My Background
I was born to love dogs and people! Previous to my dog coach life, I was a self-employed personal assistant. This required being able to anticipate peoples’ needs and create flow in their work life. I helped makers, artists, and entrepreneurs focus on what they do best. As a dog coach, I help you with the issues you face by listening, reflecting, and problem solving. Then you can enjoy the life with your dog that you have always wanted.

2013 to present
We live in a busy world. Dogs are by our side no matter what speed we travel. If we stop and take the time to learn their language, communication opens up between us. It’s like any relationship. The more time we spend together without distractions, the more our connection blossoms. Take the time.
“Laura is brilliant with dogs and humans! She really understands what makes dogs tick.”
