Laura has been training dogs and people for over 10 years and uses several modalities, tailored to each unique pet-parent relationship.
Training Philosophy
Laura believes that building on existing strengths is key to good behavior and a happier dog. In other words, it’s all about engagement and building a strong foundation that can enhance the rest of your training goals and family life.
Services
Laura offers private lessons, Stay + Train, and Homeschooling.
Private lessons are 1-on-1 sessions at The Watering Bowl’s Dog Grove and St. Peters locations.
Stay + Train is a 1-on-1 training option where Laura will work with your dog during their daycare or boarding stay.
Homeschooling is in-home training for location-specific behavioral issues.
Customer Reviews
Daniel & Claire:
“My partner and I have been taking our dog, Captain Dog, to the Watering Bowl for 3 years now. When we decided our dog would benefit from one-on-one training, we decided to go to Laura Pieczynski. We were blown away by our experience training with Laura. She brought energy to our training sessions, and as a result, Captain was more fulfilled from being challenged and stimulated during the session.
Not only did Laura train our dog, but she also taught us so much about the way Captain communicates and what he needs in a training relationship. Training challenges that seemed so daunting before our sessions now feel manageable because of how much better we and Captain understand each other.
We’re so thankful for our experience with Laura and we can’t recommend her training program enough. In fact, if Captain pulls us on his leash again, you can bet he’ll be dragging us to Laura’s training room.”
