Review from Matthew B.

Laura Bourhenne is a crazy dog lady in all the right ways and none of the bad ones. Which maybe just makes her a nice dog lady.
No, but she is sort of crazy. Good crazy. She really, sincerely loves dogs. And she takes them seriously. In a way that I haven't seen with other dog professionals.
And the thing is, they really love her back. Within 5 minutes of meeting, Laura had almost hypnotized our 5-month-old boxer puppy and had her doing things we didn't think were possible. It was astonishing.
But Laura's true magic trick is that she has no magic trick --- she is just showing you the virtues of consistent, firm training routines with your dog.
Some dog trainers just want you to go through a rote set of exercises. Laura takes the time to customize the training to suit you & your dog. She doesn't have weird superstitious training techniques (e.g. "Only feed the dog from your hand", "Never give the dog negative feedback").
Any skepticism I had about Laura evaporated immediately when I saw our puppy respond to her. Now she is my guru. I just keep asking myself: What Would Laura Do? -

Laura is the best! She has helped me and my family since 2003! She understands you and understands your pooch! Always knows what to do no matter what the situation is. I'm so lucky to have found Laura!

I've worked with other trainers but no once comes close to Laura. She is fantastic. She really works with you and your dogs. She doesn't just have one way of doing things. She works with what you can do. And the end result? The difference in my dogs' behavior before and after working with her is night and day.
Specialties
AAU is striving to enrich the lives of pets by training and educating the people they live with. Her goal is to have your pet be treated as a part of the family. "All dogs can have house manners and be wonderful housedogs, no matter what their size or breed." This is accomplished through positive motivation techniques and reward based training programs. AAU offers private, in-home training for basic obedience and behavior modification, plus ideas for environmental enrichment (to help curb those destructive habits!). All types of aggression, object guarding, separation anxiety, socialization, puppy basics, house manners, and much more are dealt with on a daily basis.
History
Established in 1989
Laura is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, and she earned a degree in Exotic Animal Training in 1989. Laura continues her education by attending numerous seminars and conferences each year, reading books, and watching training videos.
Meet the Business Owner: Laura B.
Though she is very busy, Laura chooses to maintain a one-person training operation because finding someone who uses the same training methods, has the same feelings about animals, and is trustworthy is very difficult. She feels that when your name and reputation are on the line, and you are responsible for the welfare of an animal, you need to be very careful who is representing you.
