FirstBarkI went there for an evaluation today and I was quite surprised on how well it went. She is definitely the professional trainer you should seek out, as her training methods are encourage positive reinforcement, and not only that, but I could tell my pup was having a great time learning. I'm looking forward to our 6 week course!

What are Play Sessions?
Our Play Sessions are designed as socialization opportunities rather than typical doggie daycare. We understand that dogs, like humans, can become overstimulated, so we limit sessions to 3-hour increments. We maintain a maximum of 12 dogs per session and ensure all participants are compatible. Our goal is to foster strong relationships with both our canine and human clients.

How do I know if my dog is reactive or aggressive?
Most instances of dog reactivity or aggression stem from fear. It's essential to identify early signs so you can build your dog's confidence while also establishing that such behavior is unacceptable. As responsible pet owners, it's our duty to provide leadership that ensures the safety of our dogs, other people, and other pets.

I want to share our experience at PawSessions in Greenlawn: Sarah is THE dog-whisperer. Our Jesse has been working with her, both in their beginner class and privately. I cannot say enough about her sensitive and caring instruction. She identified the best way to train Jesse so that we, her fur-parents, can work together as family unit. Jesse was wonderful as she was, but now she is our girl who walks, heels, leaves-it, and loves life (and Sarah, too)...!

My fiancé and I rescued a 1.5-year-old American Pitbull Terrier/Herding mix named Brieta in May. Despite our experience with reactive rescues, we were overwhelmed by her intense anxiety. Although she quickly learned tricks and commands with us, that was in our private yard without distractions. Outside of our yard, her fear was evident whenever she encountered other dogs and embarrassingly other humans. By the end of the first week, we realized we needed professional help. Our first trainer left us worried about Brieta's future, but then we found Laurie. We are SO glad we did. During our intake call, Laurie listened to our concerns, and we knew she was the right choice. During Brieta’s initial evaluation, she was over-threshold before we even opened the car door. Laurie took control almost immediately and, within minutes, had Brieta walking around her facility. Over the past six weeks of private lessons, Brieta has become significantly more confident in what’s expected of her and how to handle herself in new situations. Each session provided us with skills to reinforce and further build structure at home. I’m writing this review after Brieta’s first socialization class—a milestone we can hardly believe. She started off terrified and lunging at a stuffed dog. Today she walked with other dogs on a relatively loose lead and required minimal corrections. It makes us wish we had videos of her at the start to show her growth by comparison, but the first few weeks were so overwhelming and she was so out of control that we’re almost grateful there’s no proof. It was a distant dream. That dog is not the dog we have today. She may still not be perfect, but she’s trying to be, and Laurie and her team have leveraged Brieta’s desire to be good to accelerate her progress. This review could never adequately do them justice in just how much of a difference they’ve made in this dog’s life. The true value of Laurie’s training is in the intangible growth. Brieta is becoming more confident and less anxious, allowing her to experience more of the world she desperately wants to be a part of. Even our neighbors have commented on her incredible progress. And at the heart of it, the true value is in the confidence she’s given us as Brieta’s owners - that we made the right choice, we have a great dog (with some not-so-great but workable behaviors), and we’ve got this. For anyone struggling with a high-energy reactive dog, I highly recommend Laurie’s services. Her expertise and support have been transformative for Brieta and us.
Loved it my dog is so much better. I learned a lot about my dog and how she thanks
Employees/trainers are very friendly and helpful
