You love him,but...

Is he jumping on you, dragging you down the street, overreacting to other dogs, has poor house manners, not listening or coming when called? Wouldnâ€™t you like to just hang out in public or go on a hike with your soul mutt and relax because you know he wonâ€™t embarrass you? Want to share your Soul Mutt with others as a therapy team or get him certified as an AKC Canine Good Citizen?

About Laura

Having raised multiple dogs for service dog organizations and training my own therapy dogs,Â I have become proficient at helping dogs become socially appropriate and well behaved in all environments. This allows you to relax and enjoy their presence in public, without embarrassment. The more we can have them with us, the more they change and positively impact our lives. I will get you there too!

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.

Laura has a way of taking the stress out of training. She can teach you and your dog without a lot of talk which seems to make the dogs have fun learning. She offers great tips in addition to encouraging training techniques. We look forward to our sessions and have advanced a lot.

In one hour, we had several solid strategies to use with our puppy and the whole family felt better about working with the puppy!

Every dog has a high calling. Sometimes years of training are put into a dog intended for doing service work but end up not having the temperament for that. As a volunteer for a service dog organization, I worked with this dog, Seillo, from the time she was 8 weeks until she reached 12 months. The organization determined she wasnâ€™t…

Olivia was bred to be a guide dog for the blind. While her volunteer was raising her, she noticed she was always very attracted to children and their needs. â€œShe knew just how to approach them and very tenderly stand in front of them, waiting for their attention.â€ When Olivia was released for medical reasons, the puppy raiser adopted her…

The Emotional Support Dog I Didn’t Know I Had or Needed

I personally “rescued” a dog from a shelter, confident I would be giving him a great new life. It wasn’t long before I noticed that he would pester me while I was busy doing something else. Turns out, he was sensing I was upset and was trying to comfort me. Now I pay attention to his prompts and soak up…
