“Laura is not so much a dog trainer as a miracle worker. In record time, our three ‘hopeless’ dogs were putty in her hands. From curbing excessive barking to teaching our nervous and jittery rescue dog how to use the stairs, no job was too big or too small. I don't so much recommend her as wonder how anyone could get along without her.”

"If you have a boss... and your boss hovers over you to try to get you to do things, and just makes nasty faces and points his finger in your face every time he wants you to do something, how likely are you to do it well or willingly? And how easy is it going to be for you to access your best, most creative, most productive thinking? You’re so overshadowed by this oppressive feeling that it’s going to be difficult for you to rise to your best self anyway. You feel like you're walking on eggshells, afraid that you’re going to do something wrong at any minute—and distracted from your task by your concern over what the repercussions are going to be."
