We called Born 2B Wild back in December 2024 through a referral from a friend- Laura was very flexible and scheduled an in-home training session quickly even despite it being during the holiday season. It’s been 6 months of using the guide and lessons Laura taught us and our dogs have completely transformed. We are much more confident with training our dogs, and feel like we really understood what the issues were and addressed them. I couldn’t be more grateful for Born 2B Wild and their services.

My Daughter used Laura as her dog trainer for three weeks and our Deacon Came back a changed dog! She has learned all the commands from Laura and throughout the three weeks, Laura emailed us videos of what and how she was doing things. She trained us as well to make it easy for Deacon to be successful. At the end she sent us a list of the commands and when we went to pick Deacon up, She spent at least 2 hours answering our questions and talking Dogs. She truly is an amazing human being and an incredible dog trainer. We were so lucky to find her. I would highly recommend her. (These are my Mom’s comments but I agree whole heartedly!)

Laura is so fantastic!
Her skills and training are top-notch informative and comforting.
Having my first ever dog, I had so many questions and concerns about being a good dog owner, and Laura has made owning and training seamless and overall manageable.
I can not thank her enough for everything she has done for me and my puppy!

What is board & train, and how does it work?
Board & train is an immersive program where your dog stays with a professional trainer for one or more weeks.
