Dog trainer

Laska and James are amazing! We called for some help with a very reactive rescue that has had us at our wits end, along with our older dog that is a bit of a “bad influence. Safe to say someone who would come into our home and work with all the humans and animals is what we needed and we are so happy we found it. James is impeccable with scheduling, communication, and keeping everything running smoothly. Laska is a dog whisperer and comes with an incredibly wealth of knowledge and practical exercises we can use to work with both our dogs. We have seen great improvement with our reactive dog - she still has a ways to go but learning how to manage her and build her confidence has been key. Our neighbors are used to seeing Laska outside with us working with the dogs and they all have noticed an improvement in our dogs and tell us it’s definitely working! We agree!

Laska has been amazing! We have a very difficult, very reactive 6 year old Rescue Australian Shepherd that we got about 7 months ago. In the short time that we have been working with Laska, he has come amazingly far. She has given us steps and tricks to help him with seeing other dogs and people. He still has a long way to go, but she has been great! And James is always great to work with scheduling and changing on scheduling. I highly recommend All Ears Training!

We've been working with Laska and her husband James as a trainer for the past month and it has been a wonderful experience. When we first started our household was in a dire situation with our younger girl cat attacking our older girl cat for weeks with no relief in sight. At the assistance of my daughter I reached out to All Ears and had a conversation with James about our situation that we were facing. He was very upfront and honest about the whole process and we agreed to sign up. Laska came out and did an in home assessment and gave us things to start incorporating into our home. It was a process at first implementing some of the training, but eventually we worked on what we could and found that we have had some progress. There's still some conflict between the cats, but it's much better than what it was at first. With Laska's help we now have tools to help us, it's still a process but we are doing our best and very thankful for Laska's help. She is very kind and cares about what she does, and my family is grateful. If you're needing help in any way please reach out to All Ears Training they will be more than happy to assist you in any way.

Laska is an amazing trainer, I can’t recommend her enough! She helped my dog Peach, gain so much more confidence being around other people and dogs. And if anyone has ever dealt with a Shiba, they’re not the easiest dogs to motivate. But Peach was always super engaged in the lessons and loved seeing the nice treat lady each week. Whenever we used to go on a walk, Peach would bark at everyone and everything. Now we can go on walks and she’ll ignore other dogs even if they bark at us, and calmly pass by people and bikes.

Laska is an incredibly gifted dog trainer who has truly transformed our lives as dog owners. She began working with our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel to earn AKC titles, and later took on the challenge of our younger, rambunctious pup who was struggling with OCD tendencies. Thanks to her expertise, dedication, and heart, she brought peace to our home, turning chaos into harmony with two content, well-behaved dogs.

Owning dogs, especially spirited Spaniels, hasn’t always been easy, but Laska made it not only manageable but genuinely enjoyable. Our dogs now walk perfectly by our sides, and even our kids have gained confidence as they’ve learned to work with them under her guidance.

One thing to note is that success with Laska requires commitment beyond the one-hour training sessions. For our busy family, it wasn’t always easy, but the results proved it was worth every effort. Laska pours her entire heart into her work, and as clients, you’ll find that what you put in is what you get out.

If you’re looking for a trainer who will change your life as a dog owner, we can’t recommend Laska enough!

James handles the backend operations and scheduling with outstanding communication and follow-through. Together, they make an exceptional team! 🐾

We had the pleasure of working with Laska and James after adopting a 10-month old golden retriever rescue, who had been kept in a crate for 18-hours a day. While he was loveable, he lacked socialization and obedience skills. Laska started at the beginning with him. She was always willing to spend time working on whatever we’re our biggest concerns, other dogs, pulling on the leash, greeting people at the door. He improved immensely with her guidance. I would highly recommend All Ears.

Laska and James are great to work with. They are professional, very responsive and extremely knowledgeable about training. She comes to your home or in a public place to work with you and your fur baby. I’ve used them to help me with two dogs I have. The first one is a medical alert service dog who needed some refresher training in a couple of areas. Service dogs in fact need refresher training because they are dogs and not perfect like people expect. The second dog is a family pet who is now 1 year old.
Watching my dogs with Laska is an amazing sight to behold. It’s almost like they can read her mind and know exactly what they are supposed to do or not do. I’ve referred her to several friends who recently adopted dogs with some behavioral issues and Laska was able to help them.

We loved our experience with Laska/All Ears Training. We rescued 1 y/o Great Pyr Mix, Winnie, on a whim in February. While she is extremely good natured and our family is used to big dogs, she lived outside for a year and seemingly never had any formal training. She needed some refining to say the least! Jumping, lack of recall, severe separation anxiety, etc.

Laska gave us some extremely strong foundational training over the course of 6 hour long sessions. Winnie has improved so much with listening to us, recall, responsiveness to treats/positive reinforcement, etc. Our biggest issue, separation anxiety, was a huge concern - with Laska showing us the ropes how to incrementally leave Winnie and know her thresholds, we feel so confident that, with dedication, she will get over the hump and we can experience some freedom again! In addition to being an absolute training pro, Laska is also a great person, so easy to talk to, non-judgmental, and so evidently comfortable and natural with dogs.

I would recommend All Ears Training to anyone who needs help with their dog, whatever the issue.
