THE TRAINER

Laura Folsom
Owner & Trainer

Hi! I’m Laura, your new dog trainer, and here’s a little bit about me:

I worked with animals for over 10 years as a marine mammal and bird trainer of various species (seals, sea lions, dolphins, penguins, and more) at AZA-accredited aquariums. All of that education and experience has forever shaped the way I train dogs (and their guardians!).

The type of training I offer focuses on teaching dog parents how to raise their pups into healthy, well-adjusted adult dogs who have the skills to participate and listen when we need them to.

If that sounds like something you want, let’s connect! Click the button below to submit a new student form.

I also have a CPDT-KA (Certification of Professional Dog Trainers) certification, which means I have passed exams which require knowledge of ethical practices and dog behavior and development. I am constantly continuing my own education in dog behavior and training, which is an ever-changing science.

I’m also a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers, and I am licensed, insured, and bonded. I also have a 4-year-old black lab, Rosie (top of page), who helps me become a better trainer every day.
