LaRae studied psychology at Augustana College where she assisted with training service dogs. With a vast understanding of both human and dog learning styles, she went on to become an accredited dog trainer with PetSmart where she trained hundreds of dogs of all breeds and backgrounds for two years before making her way to South Florida. From rescue mutts to purebred puppies, LaRae takes an individualized and positive approach to every dog's training. She has worked with blind, deaf, anxious, and traumatized dogs to overcome and cope with their unique challenges. She believes the key to effective training is teaching dogs and their human parents to communicate with each other. Whether you have a rowdy pup who needs to learn manners, an anxious rescue who needs help coping with their fear, or a perfectly behaved future agility champion who wants to hone their skills, LaRae cannot wait to help them on their training journey!
