Smart Dog U really helped me deal with my first puppy and help me grow her (Etta) into a sweet little girl. Without that training from\u00a0SDU\u00a0this would have been a tough journey.<\/p>\n

We did in-home training and group classes which helped us welcome Ember into our family. Her understanding of both dogs and busy families made the training easy and guilt-free.<\/p>\n

Thank goodness I discovered Smart Dog University! Laurie\u2019s methods quickly made me realize that I was the one in need of training. The end result: A well behaved pup (Kasey) who is a true companion!<\/p>\n

Laurie is someone Your Dog\u2019s Friend depends on for good information on dog behavior and training presented in an engaging, understandable way. She has done free workshops for us; we have used her articles in our newsletter; and she is a trainer whom I can refer people to with total confidence.<\/p>\n

Laurie is a very knowledgeable and experienced trainer. She does a wonderful job with both the dog and owner. She is easily approachable and genuinely wants to make sure you and your dog are getting the most out of her classes.<\/p>\n
