Holistic dog training for puppies and family dogs
I help you raise and live with a well-rounded, well-trained dog through in-home sessions, day training, outdoor adventures and virtual coaching.
B.O.N.E.S. stands for behavior, obedience, nutrition, and enrichment services.
-
Are you having a ruff time? Your dog is speaking to you through their behavior. If you need help decoding Fido’s feedback, I can help bridge the communication gap.
-
Your dog wants information and snacks. Together we can turn barks into brilliance through obedience training with lots of play and nutritious treats. Obedience work does more than build a better dog; it also fosters a solid relationship between dog and owner. Let’s get busy.
-
Did you know that your dog’s gut is known as their “second brain”? A healthy gut microbiome is essential for your dog’s behavior. Most of your dog’s serotonin is produced and stored in their gut. I can give you tips and tricks to enhance your dog’s nutrition without breaking the bank.
-
Enrichment is offering your dog an opportunity to fulfill their genetic and psychological needs. It improves their quality of life by preventing boredom and stress while strengthening the bond between dog and owner. I can teach you easy enrichment ideas with items you already have at home. Your dog needs to do dog things; let’s get started.

Training and conditioning should start the minute you bring your puppy home. We need to build good foundations with expectations before bad habits harden. Together we lay the groundwork for manners, confidence and calm behavior in your home and out in the world. I will also teach you simple enrichment and nutrition habits for a healthy, confident adult dog.

For adolescent and adult dogs.
Does your dog seem more like a four legged freeloader than a faithful companion? Are you coming home from work to find chaos and destruction or is your dog just a “spot” you walk and feed? If you are experiencing unwanted behaviors from your dog, either their physical and psychological needs are not being met, or there is a breakdown in communication.

Day training is available as a follow up option for clients who have completed a Puppy 101 or Canine Charm School package.
Let’s keep your training on track while you are busy. This service is available to existing clients as an add on to the Puppy 101 or Canine Charm School programs.
My Name is Lara
I am a holistic dog trainer. My approach is built on the belief that training and caring for dogs should encompass their entire being, their mind, body and spirit. I focus on training and behavior change, and I also consider each dog’s emotional and psychological well-being.
I look at your dog’s overall lifestyle, including genetics, health, nutrition, exercise, enrichment and environment, because all of these contribute to behavior. Then I build an individual plan that respects both your dog’s needs and your life.
B.O.N.E.S. stands for behavior, obedience, nutrition and enrichment services and reflects my focus on the whole dog and household.
