When I came to Laura, Finn was pulling on his leash so much I dreaded walking him. Her skillful guidance has made a world of difference. I look forward to our walks. Laura is very observant of both canine and human behavior. She pointed out things I was doing that muddied my communication with Finn and made it difficult for him to understand what I was asking of him. She has helped me read Finn’s body language with more accuracy. I am now aware of the first signs of his stress level rising and know how to calm him so that the situation doesn’t escalate to unwanted behavior. I whole heartedly recommend her to anyone who is committed to developing the kind of relationship with their dog that keeps home life harmonious and public outings incident free.

“My dog, Tyler, is 11 years old and he had a bad habit of pulling on the leash during his daily walk. Laura, the owner of Soul Mutt Training, proved that you can teach an old dog new tricks.”

“Laura helped us so much with our gigantic hyperactive puppy! She was very patient and helped us to find new ways to communicate with him. We appreciate her help so much.”

“Laura unwaveringly presents with an authentic, compassionate, kind, energetic, and relatable personality. Her knowledge base in the Dog Training realm is extraordinary!! ---Never a question that she can't answer, never guidance that we cannot follow up with. And her connection with our dog is amazing. I would absolutely recommend Soul Mutt Training to anyone who needs a dog trainer.”

“Very intuitive about our dogs' needs and great advice to help us train them.”

“Laura trained both of my dogs and I CONSTANTLY get compliments on how well behaved they are. I was struggling so much with the chaos of basic training until she helped me. She breaks down why the dog understands in different ways than we do and makes training so much easier. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.”

“It was great working with Laura. We learned a lot about her positive reinforcement training. She really helped me with a more structured training for my 4 month German Shepherd. We loved working with her and highly recommend her.”

“Laura did a wonderful job. She was patient, gentle and very consistent. She has a wealth of knowledge in training a dog. I am sure to have her back again.”

KPA Instructor, author, speaker, podcaster; “Laura is a passionate and dedicated learner and trainer. During my time as her KPA instructor, I witnessed her ability to learn and apply the high KPA standards of positive reinforcement training.”

I have been absolutely thrilled with the exceptional dog training service provided by Laura. She took quality time to learn about and understand the previous training and current challenges. Her approach is not just professional but also deeply thoughtful to ensure that our dog’s training journey is tailored to her specific needs and temperament. Laura’s extensive expertise training service dogs and genuine love for dogs shines through while per patience and positive reinforcement techniques have shown immediate results. I have learned so much about timing, recognizing body language, and developing better skills to practice training techniques successfully.

From the first time we spoke on the phone, and continuing through our puppy training sessions, Laura was patient, kind and compassionate. She spent a generous amount of time listening to the issues and concerns. She took the the time to truly understand our unique situation and problems. We noticed a difference immediately after our first session and our puppy made huge strides when we followed Laura’s guidance. She is intuitive. She helps you understand the dog’s perspective. She is an incredible guide with a lot to offer and teach.

A private session with Laura was exactly what I needed for my 1 year old pup. We were able to address the issue I was having. I got the clear (and fun) advice I needed to know exactly what to do to improve his behavior. I’m so grateful for Laura and her expertise. I highly recommend working with her!

Laura is an amazing trainer! This was such a great experience for us, as well as for our golden cavalier, Henry. Laura listens to everything you want to work on and then knows exactly how to put that into action. You could eel the posiiv improvement within minutes into tese training sessions. She is caring, focused, and actually listens to what you have to say during the sessions. I give the biggest recommendation possible!

Laura takes the time to use positive reinforcement. She has a lot of tricks and dog psychology to help train our pup, as well as us. She provides great understanding to how the training works. Thanks Soul Mutt!

Laura is awesome. My puppy understands what she asks of him and thoroughly enjoys her. I’ve had training before with other people that was no where near as fun and effective as it is with Laura. We have a Cane Corso so successful training is a huge deal. She has given us invaluable positive experiences and advice over the past few months. She is patient, effective, caring and reliable.

We are completely sold on Laura’s ability to communicate with our dog. She has a deep understanding of dogs and expert skill to teach healthier, happier, safer choices. Laura is also adept at recognizing unintentional owner behavior that may not support the desired behavior in your pet. Laura’s genuine commitment to a collaborative relationship is unsurpassed.

Laura has done a terrific job training our dogs’ owner (me) on how to interact properly with the dogs to achieve the behavior we want. The methods are simple but powerfully effective. We have made great progress in a very short time.

Laura is calm, patient an attentive when she trains both the dog and the owner. I began with her shortly after adopting a new dog and she has done a great job of working with his strengths and teaching him good manners before he had a chance to establish bad habits. I had no familiarity with the clicker method prior to working with her but she has shown me how to use it as a tool to mark good doggie behavior. She also has good sense of when it is cumbersome and when simple praise and attention-giving is all that is needed. I find her fee fair, she has been 100% reliable and good at working around my busy schedule.

Laura was immensely helpful. She is highly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and an excellent communicator. I’ve spoken with several other trainers and Laura’s perspective was by far the most helpful and actionable. She clearly cares more about my dog’s well-being than pitching an expensive package. Dog training is a smart investment.

Laura is a gifted dog trainer. She is knowledgeable, kind and gentle. I highly recommend Soul Mutt.

Laura has done a great job teaching myself and my 3-month-old GSP. She doesn’t just go through the motions. She takes time teaching and explaining everything in detail. Soul Mutt is the place to go to train your dog!

Laura has helped us with such creative and very successful solutions. She is a great listener and very knowledgeable with all aspects of dog training. We highly recommend Soul Mutt Training!

Laura Lee is one of those rare finds. She shows up when she says she will and puts her heart and soul into her clients and their dogs.
