About
I focus on clear communication through clear training. Your dog can't be held accountable for his actions until we've taught him what we want him to do! We focus on relationship and communication through basic obedience commands, which produces long-term results and a happy family.
I love that each new client is different. I get to expand my toolbox each session, and help people build strong relationships with their pets.

When my 9-year-old dog Brandy and I first moved to the area I wanted the transition to be seamless, especially because our new roommate had two cats and Brandy wasn't sure she could trust other animals. Lara was incredibly helpful and flexible when it came to working with us in our home and on walks. She focused her attention on me, not my dog, teaching me how to handle situations so that we could be successful even when Lara wasn't there. She was very adaptive in training sessions to recreate the situations that Brandy and I needed work in (like having her husband act as a stranger ringer our door bell!) but was always careful not to stress my timid dog out.
After our last session with Lara and her own pup, Brandy is doing much better with other animals, she actually enjoys playing with other dogs and is no longer scared of the cats in the house. I now know what signs to look for when she's getting stressed, can look out for something that might scare her, and redirect her attention in those situations. Every time we visit family and friends they tell me what a huge (and great) change they see in Brandy since training with Lara. She's much more relaxed and focused. I am so grateful for Lara and would recommend For Pup's Sake to anyone!

Lara has been working with my dog for a couple weeks now and I've already seen improvement. My dog is newly adopted and has a lot of bad habits, but Lara has helped me every step of the way and never seems discouraged by his behaviors. She is in contact with me frequently, just to make sure things are going well and checking in on his progress. I really feel like she cares not only about his obedience and behavior, but also about the relationship him and I have. I would highly recommend hiring her if you want a kind, passionate person with all the skills to help you train your dog.

I had a 9 year old dog who had not been through any training since he was a pup. I was unsure how to go about "re-training" him. Lara was great and got the situation quickly corrected.

I called Lara when my three dogs ended up in a nasty fight, resulting in an expensive surgery. She was able to help us in a short amount of time. She is an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable teacher and dog trainer. She never tried to talk us into unnecessary products or sessions and I thoroughly enjoyed each of our sessions. Additionally, she was participating in ongoing professional development while we were working together. This is a sign of how seriously she takes her work and that she is constantly learning more. My dogs loved her and they have been wonderful ever since! I cannot recommend her enough! I can't imagine that you will find a better trainer in this area! I have the utmost respect for Lara Cohn.
