Our two dogs went through private training with Laura. She was wonderful and helped train us well! I continue to train them in ongoing almost daily sessions. They love it and they loved Laura.

We were introduced to Becca a few years ago with Bella (our 3 year old). We got a new puppy this year - Angel and we were introduced to Laura Arnold. She is fantastic with us and Angel. Her tips are great and we have already seen a difference in her behavior. Laura is able to provide specifics for your dog and is extremely flexible. I have used black dog 2x now and I highly recommend them! Dawn
