Laura was amazing! She was so nice, kind, calm, and patient with our dog Skye. The training was incredibly effective, and we’ve already noticed such a big difference in her behavior. Skye understands our expectations so much better now, and we feel much more confident knowing how to work with her and reinforce what she learned. We had such a great experience with Laura and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, effective, and genuinely caring trainer!

We had a wonderful experience with Laura at Happy Hikes Dog Training. She was kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable during a very stressful situation involving our dog.
Laura conducted an assessment and gave us clear, practical steps to move forward safely. Her calm and balanced approach immediately put us at ease.
We’re so grateful for her professionalism and support, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and experienced trainer.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. I know how stressful that situation felt, and I’m truly honored you trusted me to help you navigate it. I’m so glad the assessment provided clarity and practical next steps for moving forward. Supporting dogs and their people with calm, positive training guidance during challenging moments is something I care deeply about. I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Laura was the perfect fit to help us with some bathroom issues we been having with our seven year old jack russell mix. Her analysis was spot on and her advice and training have had such a positive impact on all of our lives. She spent the time to get to know our dog and understand him which shows in the effectiveness of her training. I can’t recommend her enough.

Laura and her Blizzard came to Holy Cross Academy and gave a wonderful presentation ! Students were captivated the whole time .
Blizzard brought her calmness and gentleness. Laura brought her expertise in her field of dog training. We can not wait till they return.

Laura is incredible! She is so calm and patient and the dogs really pick up on that energy. Her training is effective and fun for them! She has helped so many of our rescue dogs learn to communicate with us and do fun tricks too! I can not recommend her enough!
