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.
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.! --

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
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! --

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
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 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!

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.
