Great support and guidance a new life for Draco
Lauren is an exceptional dog trainer who truly goes above and beyond for her clients and their furry companions. She worked wonders with Draco, addressing multiple behavioral issues with patience and positive reinforcement.
One of Draco's biggest challenges was loose leash walking and marking everything during walks, but under Lauren's guidance, he made remarkable progress. Her positive reinforcement techniques and tailored training strategies helped Draco understand proper leash manners and curb his marking behavior effectively.
Lauren's support extended beyond the walking routine. She assisted Draco in staying in his place cot and also providing advice to alleviate his fears, to help foster a more confident and relaxed demeanor in him. Despite Draco's initial apprehension of his new situation, Lauren's patience and compassion made him feel safe and supported throughout the training process.
What I truly loved about this process was that Lauren was commitment to keeping in constant communication. She kept me and my family updated with videos, pictures, and progress reports every day, ensuring transparency and peace of mind. This level of involvement not only reassured me but also showcased Lauren's genuine care and dedication to her work.
Thanks to Lauren's expertise and support, Draco underwent his first big steps in a remarkable transformation. Although he is trying to challenge me in this shift of power his behavior has improved and are a testament to Lauren's guidance and genuine passion for helping dogs and their owners thrive. And she has reassured me she will be a text message away if I have any concerns or questions. I would definitely recommend Lauren to anyone seeking professional, compassionate, and effective dog training services.

Lauren was AWESOME! I was very hesitant because of the price, but I most admit, it was 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙩. Lauren was an excellent trainer and overall just great person. She was super helpful, attentive, so real, and honest! Which was what I needed; I am a first time pet owner so I needed ALL the help I could get because I know nothing about dogs. Lauren answered all of my questions and then some. She was knowledgeable and kind. I would absolutely recommend! She was very professional and did a fantastic job.

First and foremost I want to let you know how fortunate the company . is to have Lauren on staff. I am not new to training dogs (earned CD with my first Schipperke), but was in no way prepared for the behavioral challenges my new Schip puppy “Dory” presented me with. Lauren, with her patient expertise, has given me a happy, obedient and companionable puppy along with the knowledge & ability to maintain what Dory has learned. I could not be happier with my experience!!

Just wonderful! My little Brie left as a puppy not knowing what to do... and now she knows all the cues, crating, and now it's up to me to keep her in check.
Lauren was terrific, always keeping me updated with videos and chats. Diana

Lauren trained my dog Lady for anxiety. She has been back home for 4 days now and she is doing absolutely amazing. She was very communicative with me and answered all of my questions. I would recommend to all my family and friends.

Puppy Training Millie
I can’t recommend Lauren enough! She worked with my puppy Millie during a 2-week training session, and the difference was incredible. Millie left my home full of energy and pretty difficult to manage, but she returned much calmer, more focused, and so much easier to handle.
Lauren was not only amazing with Millie, but also incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. She kept me updated with videos and helpful tips while Millie was with her, which made me feel really confident in the work they were doing together. Even after the training was over, Lauren has continued to support me in our ongoing sessions, offering guidance whenever I need it.
It’s clear she truly cares about both the dogs and their owners. I’m so grateful we sent her for training

Lauren, our trainer is an absolute miracle worker! Our 1 1/2 year old Goldendoodle, Lily, struggled with barking and reactivity-especially when visitors came over or during walks. It got to the point where we were only walking her early in the morning or late at night just to avoid other dogs and triggers. She would bark, jump, and pull on the leash, making walks stressful and un enjoyable.
Working with Lauren has been a total game changer. Lauren picked Lily up for a 4 week board and train program and kept us updated every step of the way with daily videos, handouts, and progress updates. When Lily returned home, she was noticeably calmer, more focused, and responsive to all of her commands.
Even after the program ended, Lauren has continued to checkin with us, offering support and answering all of our questions. Her dedication goes above and beyond. We HIGHLY recommend Lauren and the 4 week board and train program. We only wish we had found her sooner and not wasted time and money on other training options. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Lauren thank you

Lauren was prompt and up to the minute on all her actions and reports. I'm retired military, so I appreciated it. She did an amazing job with my Brooks.

MY NAME is Michael
MY NAME is Michael. And I have had both my adult shepherd and pup trained with Laruen in bellingham. I would just say. There is no other trainer I would my or any friends and families dog to go to for trading. Lauren is in my option the most and best knowledgeable trainer I have ever met or worked with. She help me understand the complex nature of my Shepard. What to look for a service animal for my medical needs. It is not just shepherds but any breed. She is so well knowledgeable that she makes every point and effort make sure you and your friend has the best relation and bond between you and your furry friend. So with that said. Thank you again so much Lauren. And God bless. Will hire you and only you again
BEST TRAINER LAUREN S IN ALL OF NEW ENGLAND
To everyone and anyone that would need help in trading an animal. Pet or service animal. I would like to state a proven fact in my Sking for help with my ser ice animal
I would say there no one else that would be the most safest and reliable co.passko ate knowledgeable. Then Ms Lauren S. She has taken my service animal Keno )German Shepard) and was so kind and through that helped Keno without any problems and kept in contact everyday and also very helpful with helping along for helping me understand behaviors and how to properly correct with kindness and compassion. So in final. I would lay my life in there hands with no worries or concern on my service animals health in there cate. I would also say that with the love and care she has for animals 5 is not high enough for a rating. I would say like 2 million is what I would say.
On a final note thakyou to Lauren S. for the help and care they showed. Thank you all again. BEST TRAINER IN NEW ENGLAND AREA

Lauren was awesome
Lauren went above and beyond for my Maggie she is very compassionate and extremely knowledgeable it was so comforting knowing that my Maggie was in such good hands. I am getting excited to start Maggie with her training after she decompresses. It’s very comforting knowing that Lauren is still there for me if I need her.

We had Lauren for my dogs trainer for 3 weeks. We discussed with her 4 issues that we were having problems with. Lucy is an American Bulldog about 75 pounds and 5 years of age (basically not trained). Some how all 4 issues were corrected when she came home. I didn’t expect a miracle but a miracle happened. Lucy is such a great well trained loving dog I can say for the first time. Today is about 3 weeks since she came back. I’ve already had friends come over and her around other people and dogs for the first time!!! At times my children think their dog is sick because she behaves like she should. They still can’t believe it’s the same dog! I don’t know what else to say except “thank you” for giving me a second chance and fresh start with my dog. I wouldn’t be able to keep her if it wasn’t for Lauren!!!

Amazing experience
I was more than amazed and pleased with with my experience. My 2 Shiba Inu’s were challenging. They had fear and confidence issues. They pulled when walking and overall just very jumpy. Lauren Shelly was an amazing trainer! I can’t say enough about how over and beyond she went for my dogs. Constantly in contact with me through videos and messages about how they were doing. Always giving feedback back. Even after bringing them back she remains in contact to see how they are doing and giving advice. My dogs came back totally changed in a great way! I couldn’t be happier with the results. I would highly recommend this service for anyone really wanting a great training experience. If you can get Lauren Shelly depending on location I would say do it. It’s totally worth it.

Following a challenging two weeks under the guidance of one trainer (who was eventually dismissed), we were fortunate to have Lauren step in. She was truly exceptional. Lauren collaborated closely with us to ensure Murphy received top-notch care, was treated with kindness, and was trained to his fullest potential. Each day, she kept us informed of his progress. Despite Murphy contracting an infection (unrelated to Lauren's care) and needing to return home a day early, the difference in his behavior was remarkable. He now walks calmly by my side, no longer pulling on the leash. His crate has become his sanctuary, a far cry from the days when he would protest vehemently. While there may still be some areas for improvement, opting for the two-week training with Lauren was undoubtedly the best decision we made. We cannot speak highly enough of her expertise and dedication.

Trainer lauren 10 stars - The prior company 1 star !!
I feel the company as a company let myself and dog down! They placed my dog with a man that mistreated my dog, that did no training, I believe did not feed and left in a crate constantly! The Comapny did not truly know the kind of man and trainer they hired which is disturbing to me on their hiring process and the care that any other dogs will get. A bad start the first week ended with Lauren going above and beyond to get my dog out of a terrible situation. She then had my dog for 4 weeks. OMG amazing!! At this point I felt so comfortable and so much more relaxed. I received up dates and videos daily with great detail not only how she was training my dog but myself also!!!
Lauren is honest, straight forward and always there if you need her for questions or help!
I asked the CEO for some compensation for the first week filled with stress, concern, and pure fear as a dog parent and was told in so many words it was not within there budget! That was crap!! This program was super expensive for me to begin with and when my dog was handed over to Lauren from this other trainer he was missing belongings I sent him with, leash, toys, bed etc.. which will be an added expense for me to replace now!
I would trust Lauren 100% but please tread lightly with the company itself.
I talked with the CEO 2 times and als I heard was I understand, and no care in his voice. But he did offer to buy my dog a toy! lol how generous!!
Thank you Lauren for everything you truly are amazing!!
