Pet Peeves Training, LLC

We had an amazing experience working with Laura. She really helped us understand our dog Teddy better and taught us how to communicate with him in ways that made a huge difference in his behavior. Teddy has improved tremendously since we started, and we absolutely enjoyed the process. Laura is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and effective, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional trainer!

If you're struggling with your dog's behavior, look no further than Laura at Pet Peeves! I was at my wit's end with my strong bull mastiff. He was aggressive towards other dogs, barked incessantly at anything passing our house (dogs, Amazon drivers, you name it!), pulled like a freight train on the leash, and vet visits were a nightmare. Honestly, I was starting to dread taking him anywhere. Then we found Laura, and she completely transformed our lives! First off, Laura trains the owner on how to train the dog, which is invaluable. She equipped me with the tools and understanding to effectively communicate with my dog. She came to my home for all our sessions, which was incredibly convenient and allowed us to work in the environment where the problem behaviors occurred. Laura was a

I can't overstate this -- Laura changed my life. The first year of Cooper's life (the pre-Laura era) was extremely challenging. He would bark non-stop, had horrible separation anxiety, and was all around unruly. He has such a sweet heart, but I didn't know what to do with him. I had 3 other trainers, and while he made progress, we were still in a real bind -- I couldn't leave him at home because he would bark non-stop (which broke my heart and wasn't fair to the neighbors), and I also couldn't bring him with me anywhere because he was really disruptive. In just 6 sessions, Laura completely transformed our relationships. I can now leave the house without him losing it -- but even better, I can now bring him with me places as a well behaved companion. Laura really taught me how to communicat

Laura is an absolute gem! We cannot thank Laura enough- prior to starting training, Russell would jump on my partner and I, place paws on the counter top, nibble/play bite, and pull during walks. Just from Russell’s FIRST private training out of six, we were able to eliminate a majority of Russell’s problematic behaviors with Laura’s expertise and guidance in using verbal command, body language, leash work, and many many more! Fast forward to today, Russell is a joy to bring on family trips, daily walks around the neighborhood, and most importantly Russell knows his place command when guests and company are over our house. Our goal was for Russell to be completely imbedded in our lives and Laura was able to help us achieve that! We will continue to work with Laura so Russell can continue t

I can’t say enough good things about Laura and Pet Peeves Training! My partner and I decided to reach out to Laura when it had gotten to the point where we no longer felt safe walking our dog. Our dog had developed reactive behaviors and would resort to growling, lunging, and nipping at us whenever she saw another dog. There were also issues at home including barking, biting furniture for attention, and begging for food to the point where we couldn’t enjoy a calm meal. After our first lesson with Laura, I breathed out a sigh of relief because I could tell she would be able to help. After only 6 lessons, I can enjoy walking our dog again! Laura quickly identified all of the ways that we had been reinforcing our dog’s unwanted behaviors, and after changing a few parts of our dog’s routine, w
