More than a Seminar. An Experience to Remember

When you book Laura, you’re bringing in decades of expertise, elite-level competition experience, and a multi-dimensional approach to dog agility.

With more than 35 years of experience training dogs, competing at the highest levels, and solving complex training and performance challenges, Laura knows how to simplify complicated concepts into practical skills that teams can immediately use.

Highly recommended by agility handlers, Laura is a favorite for her fresh innovations and ability to make complex concepts click. Her seminars combine science-based training, proven techniques, inventive problem solving, and engaging instruction.

Students get more than another day of agility training. They get new ideas, new tools, new confidence, and a fresh perspective that can transform the way they train. Scroll down for descriptions of popular topics.

Your dog can be brilliant in training—and still fall apart in competition. Learn the science behind ring stress and Laura’s signature “Recipe for Change” to help dogs become more focused, confident, resilient, and full of joy in the ring. Go beyond training the behavior. Learn to change the experience for your dog.

Get out of your dog’s way and discover what they can really do. Build confident, independent distance skills through layering, verbals, discriminations, threadles, backsides, directionals, and more. Stop running to every obstacle. Start trusting your dog to go.

Turn big energy into thoughtful, connected performance. Does your dog struggle to think in the excitement of agility? Learn practical strategies to build focus, engagement, and self-control around the ring. Help your dog move from over-aroused to connected and ready to work. Turn up the thinking. Turn down the chaos.

Let's creat a confident and resilient Superstar of Tomorrow! Develop speed, commitment, focus, and positive competition experiences through fun, purposeful games designed for the young agility dog. Create the Superstar before they ever step into the spotlight.
