I can't say enough wonderful things about Lauren for her training skills AND giving us peace of mind when we needed to board Pixie for the 1st time 🥰. In November of 2025 we were finally able to have Pixie stay for a 2wk Board & Train. Not only did we get back a fantastically transformed dog, our patients in our office have noticed it & my husband is constantly saying how proud he is of how well Pixie is doing. He even said whenever we get another pup, we're sending her/him to Lauren for the same 2wk training! We love Third Coast Canine Academy!! 🐾💜🥰

Lauren has made my dog my best friend! Before going to Third Coast Canine Academy I did not enjoy walks or taking my dog out. She helped us enjoy being together. I can take a walk with my dog -not my dog walking me. Whenever we go back he is so excited to see her. This place hands down is fantastic. I could not be more pleased

We thought all hope was lost with our dog, Newman, who had been struggling with aggression for quite some time. It felt overwhelming and discouraging—but after just our initial consultation with Third Coast Canine Academy, we walked away feeling more empowered and informed as dog owners. Lauren provided clear insight into our dog’s behavior, helping us understand not only what was happening, but why. She was patient, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. Most importantly, she gave us practical tools and a solid foundation to begin correcting the bad habits we had unknowingly been reinforcing over the years. It’s been a game-changer for both us and our dog. We finally feel like we’re on the right path, and that progress is possible. We’re so grateful to Third Coast Canine Academy and would highly recommend her to anyone facing behavioral challenges with their dog—especially when things feel hopeless.

Lauren is a gifted trainer! After just a couple of sessions so far, she's helped me to make a solid start on training with our 3 month old cavapoochon. Her techniques are based on a true understanding and mastery of canine psychology, and it shows.

Kortney has done a great job with my 11 year old schnauzer mix. He’s gone three times already and comes home happy and looking extra dapper!
