Smart Dog U really helped me deal with my first puppy and help me grow her (Etta) into a sweet little girl. Without that training from SDU this would have been a tough journey.
Ingrid CopelandWe did in-home training and group classes which helped us welcome Ember into our family. Her understanding of both dogs and busy families made the training easy and guilt-free.
Beth SchillaciThank goodness I discovered Smart Dog University! Laurie’s methods quickly made me realize that I was the one in need of training. The end result: A well behaved pup (Kasey) who is a true companion!
Matt ChurchLaurie is someone Your Dog’s Friend depends on for good information on dog behavior and training presented in an engaging, understandable way. She has done free workshops for us; we have used her articles in our newsletter; and she is a trainer whom I can refer people to with total confidence.
Debra Ekman, Your Dog’s FriendLaurie is a very knowledgeable and experienced trainer. She does a wonderful job with both the dog and owner. She is easily approachable and genuinely wants to make sure you and your dog are getting the most out of her classes.

Can YOU spot the difference between these two shoes?
This is a perfect candidate for an Owner Shaming photo. Need help writing a sign to hang around your neck? 🙂
Owner Shaming? Heck, I might hire this guy out! Is there such a thing as Owner Prouding? Haha!
Yep, I’ve been there.
I’m fostering a dog I was told likes to chew socks. And did I put the socks out of reach of a labrador retriever? No, I did not.
Fortunately, socks are cheaper than sneakers. Hopefully Schooner has filled his appetite for sneakers. 🙂
Owner shaming is the more appropriate alternative to that stupid website that shames dogs for doing things like eating 2 loaves of bread that were [stupidly] left out on the counter within reach. 🙂
Three pairs of sneakers: Two have chewed ankles, one has a chewed tongue. Cooper couldn’t believe how long it took to train me to put my shoes in the closet…
I have multiple pairs of shoes minus the pull tab at the back – courtesy of Miss T as a youngster…
While living with a shoe-loving Toy Fox Terrier as a child, I don’t think I had any matchey-matchey (matchy-matchy? how does one spell that?) shoes for a while!
Schooner is obviously destined to be on Project Runway: Dog Stars.
Our Dane has only one thing she loves to destroy, flip-flops, she doesn’t even chew on them, just chews off the tab that holds the toe part on and spits it out. Hubby has lost 2 pairs in the past month. I told him “Too bad for you, you know it’s the only thing she chews up!”
Oh and she’s 6 years old, you’d think that hubby would have learned by now.
