Building confidence in canines and their parents

Private lessons and day training for dogs and puppies of all ages! I believe your dog should listen to you out of trust, not fear!

Training confidence to you and your pet

I am a KPA CTP #85220 (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) and Fear Free certified. This means I am certified to teach both you and your pet through positive reinforcement rather than correction-based training. Training should be fun and rewarding for everyone involved, and I strive to create a stronger, healthier bond between dog and parent. This creates confidence that you can carry with you to care for your dog in many situations.

About  Me

My name is Lauren Gargano and I have 4 Golden Retrievers, 3 cats, and a leopard gecko. I have had a passion for animals ever since I was young and cannot imagine having a career that doesn't involve working with them! I managed a facility that consisted of doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming for about 5 years. I then moved into the veterinary field where I've been for 8 years. My older girl, Emmie (on left), has been through many training classes and was certified as a therapy dog. She and I both enjoyed going to libraries to have children read to us, as well as memory care centers to provide company for the elderly. My experiences with Emmie were what helped me realize how much I enjoy dog training. Leo (on right) survived the fun, and sometimes grueling KPA training with me and was a key part of my success! We both learned a lot of wonderful information and I am excited to bring this to canines and their families to strengthen their bond. My favorite transformations are nervous/anxious dogs becoming confident and happy during everyday life at home or out and about! I look forward to getting to know you and your canine friend!
