Session 1

Your dog will learn to walk nicely on a loose leash in "follower mode"- plugged in with you, so he/she is focused on YOU, the leader, not the typical environmental distractions. Another calm well-behaved dog will be present to help demonstrate to your dog the proper positions, as well as provide distraction & healthy socialization with a stable dog.

 

Session 2

Your dog will learn to follow the basic commands of COME/SIT; no jumping; and good manners; followed by play time & socialization.

 

Session 3

Your dog will learn to follow the DOWN-command and by the end of the session will lay down on command. He/she will also learn STAY - which means he/she will not move until released. The session will end with play time & socialization.

See the value of a good DOWN/STAY:

 

Session 4

You dog will learn how to off leash walk in the woods with a pack and become accustomer to socialization in a fenced in yard. He/she will master a 5 minute down/stay with running kids & dogs to play distraction!

The Professional Pet Services Training Philosophy

The PPS approach is a very natural one. We communicate with dogs in their own language- limited treats or leash. They respond well to calm, confident leadership and we use our body language & facial expressions to get them to understand & obey. We teach you how to do the same.

Your goal should be for your dog to "follow" you, literally. To accomplish this, you need to lead. By walking your dog at the start of EVERY DAY in follower mode, you tell him every day he is to follow you. This sets the tone for the day, reminding him you are in charge & he needs to tune into you. Once you learn how to properly walk your dog, your dog will be more focused on you. He will be more "mindful" of you, constantly checking in to make sure his leader approves of his behavior. By doing this alone, you will find his bond with you & focus on you much stronger. You will be far more effective in ridding him of unwanted behavior. Yes, it is that easy.

Once your dog is in this "follower" state of mind, you can work on any social issue too. Unlimited socialization is included with your training. NO MATTER WHAT AGE YOUR DOG IS OR HOW AGGRESSIVE, he wants to become stable again- AND HE CAN with the proper guidance.


Max and Belle

Laurie helped us help our yellow lab rescue, Max, leave his old life behind and start a new one with our black lab, Belle.  We've also used the walking service which gave us such peace of mind.  We highly recommend Laurie & Co.! -- Katie

Lily

She's a new dog!!  I can't believe the difference that one session made!  I have walked her around the Standish loop (2 miles) a few times since our training and it was amazing!  She usually drags me down the road and I pray the whole time she won't dart out in front of a car, or push me out into one!  THANK YOU -- Kim

Sully

We were having some behavioral problems with our 1 year old male Boxer, Sully. He would pull/lunge on leash and growl when he saw anyone or any animal walking. He also didn't have too many manners as he would jump up and bark non-stop when people came to our house. After going through 2 trainers with no luck, we decided to call Laurie and give it one last try. After just one session with her, Sully was like a different dog. He was so calm and relaxed and so well behaved! The minute Laurie took him by his leash and walked one lap with him, you could tell she had full control, which we never had over him. She taught us the tools and techniques that we desperately needed to become pack leaders and because of her, we feel much more confident taking the dog out in public knowing how to handle him properly. Now we can go out and enjoy doing activities we never used to be able to do! -- Sue

Ollie & Cesa

Things were great after just the first session. Our walks were so much better. They stayed behind me with a little coaching. Ollie stopped growling at me and we worked on his jumping at the TV. I'm amazed at how well Ollie did. Cesa was still a bit fearful but I was able to stop her from demanding attention....and that was all after only one session! -- Fran Abington

Scarlett

Laurie is simply fabulous. She came into our home, with hours that worked for us, and simply transformed our household. Laurie is an ideal dog trainer for a number of reasons: she comes prepared with multiple styles of training; she talks to you directly and honestly; she is professional but friendly; and her services go beyond dog training and beyond the paid sessions. After our sessions ended, we set up times to meet at a dog park just to catch up and have some of her wisdom rub off on me. I couldn't be happier with Laurie and Professional Pet Services. The company is so much better than any PetCo or PetSmart puppy training. Laurie forms relationships with her clients that will be long lasting and rewarding. -- Emily

Suling

Suling is doing EXCELLENT! Laurie's insight was perfect. Suling lays down by my father’s feet every evening. He is extremely happy. I believe at some point, in his own time, he will take her for a “slow” walk. Thanks again. You did a tremendous job! -- Gene

Cassie

We called Laurie for some training when we rescued Cassie, our yellow lab, to help her be less timid and afraid of people, walk calmly on leash, learn basic commands, and ultimately trust her to walk off-leash.  By adopting Laurie’s whole philosophy, we not only achieved all our goals, we surpassed any expectations we had for a well behaved and happy dog. -- Laura and Ryan Trahan
