"There are big differences between working with your group compared to just getting a dog from other programs, and it has made me even more grateful to have this opportunity. I met a service dog a year or two back who works with a man in a wheelchair. His dog was...almost lifeless. It did it’s job and that was it. The owner saw it as something to do what he couldn’t, and nothing more. I look at the team you have built, and yes everyone sees their dogs as working animals- but also as a being that requires love and attention. That man told me I would never love a true service dog like I did my retired dog, but you’ve made a program where that doesn’t have to be the case. I adore my new service dog with all of his quirks and cuteness. So thank you."
"Laura guides her clients and is a remarkable leader.
She has integrity, she is honest, and has strong values.
She conducts her business with moral and ethical values. She is honest truthful and precise in her advice to her clients.
She possesses good communication skills with her clients. She can break down information so we can apply the information immediately to our Service dog training.
She has influenced me to train my dog in a gentle and firm manner. She has a lot of empathy for all her clients and adapts the training to everyone individually. She uses her influence to help each one of us to get through our individual difficulties and finds solutions to all problems. She has empathy and will go to bat to advocate for each one of us.
She is always there to give us courage when times are difficult.
She respects each ones of her clients and is always there to give solutions to problems or hurdles.
Laura consistently demonstrates integrity, empathy, courage, and respect towards her clients.
I am so grateful that I found her to help me train Oscar. With her guidance I am extremely confident that my dog Oscar can assist me when I am in distress as he has already done so.
In fact, he has helped me with my anxiety and depression, and he has demonstrated that he can and will calm me when I am in distress and will give me continued deep pressure therapy until I calm down.
When I do not know what to do, Laura is always willing and able to assist me.
She is always ready to help and she genuinely cares about her clients
In fact, when I explained to Laura that I was diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment she adjusted her communications to me so that I would not have to rely on my poor memory and copied all communications to my husband so he could help remind me.
She is truly a leader in her field."
