Classic Canine Conduct

"I highly recommend Classic Canine Conduct! Laura is an amazing trainer that changed our lives forever. One of our dogs (5 year old Bichon mix) was extremely reactive all the time…with people, animals and even the wind blowing. We couldn’t take him anywhere and received complaints about his barking. Our other dog (3 year old Yorkie-Pom-Poo) is a “pandemic pup” and was never socialized. He was afraid of everything and everyone. He would nervously shake non-stop in every situation and barked at our other dog whenever he barked (which was all the time). We needed serious help! After 4 weeks of “board and train” with Classic Canine Conduct, our little fur babies not only learned how to remain calm, quiet and relaxed, they learned to “heel” perfectly during a walk and lay quietly on “place” for hours at a time without getting up, losing control, pacing anxiously or barking! As I write this, there are two very loud leaf blowers outside my window and both dogs are just chilling in their beds, without a worry in the world. This training was the most worthwhile investment and the most positive life altering decision for my family. We now have the best dogs, the tools to reinforce their training and the most peaceful home. I am so grateful and only wish we had met Laura earlier."

"Laura has been simply outstanding to work with. We are expecting our first grandchild next month and needed to get our dogs' behavior under control. We have an English yellow lab and a Golden Retriever. Laura came out to our house and showed us how to work with our dogs. We now have solutions for pulling on walks, jumping on guests, and barking for attention. We have been working daily with our dogs since Laura's visit, and we have noticed a huge difference in their behavior. They love the time we spend together and enjoy knowing the rules they are to follow. Both dogs are so excited when we get ready for walks! We now feel like we can take our dogs to parks and other dog friendly places with us. We can have them in our home when we have large groups of people over. We don't worry about our dogs pulling us over on walks. We know that when our grandchild comes to visit, our dogs will be on excellent behavior. We feel like a whole new world has opened up to us since our dogs are now better behaved. They are 3 and 4 years old. They are definitely not too old to learn new tricks! I am just so happy that we had Laura come out and work with us! We have taken our dogs to other training sessions in the past, but this home session far surpassed them all. Laura targeted the behaviors we wanted improved and got to know our dogs in their home environment. She gave us tips for working with each dog and their individual personality. She is also available for support as we continue working with our dogs. This is an excellent experience for both the dogs and the owners!"

"When Laura came out to work with me and my Golden Retriever (Senna), she was professional, kind, practical, and informative. She gave us clear guidance and instructions on how to utilize our electronic collar. In so doing, she gave me confidence in the process and, by default, helped foster my dog’s dependence and trust in me. We followed her instructions, put the time and effort into the training, and we are reaping the benefits. Senna and I are able to take daily walks, off the physical leash and using only the e-collar, through the woods. When he sees me get out the collar, he gets excited because he knows it means time outside. Laura walked us through how to have a safe and rewarding relationship with an e-collar. I highly recommend Laura and her training services."

"I highly recommend Classic Canine Conduct. If it wasn’t for Laura and her expertise, I feel confident our dog would no longer be in our family. Oliver had several behavioral problems, we had tried many other trainers and was feeling very discouraged. She is very knowledgeable, has compassion and wants the very best for you and your dog. She has always been available if I have any questions or need support. We love Oliver are extremely glad he is a member of a family!"

"3.5 years after our board and train I’m still getting constant comments from others on how well behaved my golden does. We can enjoy having a dog without worrying about behaviors or poor recall thanks to Laura! I always tell people it’s more the humans responsibility for their dogs behavior than it is the dog’s… and Laura did a great job teaching me how to be the boss in a gentle way and my dog still listens to my every command thanks to Laura’s training of us both! Highly recommend!"
