Laura Blanchette (South Shore/Online)
Laura has extensive experience with countless species but she has been working with dogs for over ten years. Her passion stems from childhood, reading dog encyclopedias for fun! She got her first dog, Reese, when she was 9 and trained him herself. In 2014, Laura got a job as a camp counselor at Best Friends Pet Hotel. That was where her passion for dog training was solidified. This is also when she got her horse, Missy, and began training the 3 year old mare herself. She graduated college with a degree in English, but knew she wanted to continue with dogs. She ended up getting a full time job dog walking. After almost six years of doing structured and training walks, she decided she was ready to move forward in her training career. She then trained in group classes for a year before knowing she wanted to start her own business. Shortly after, she teamed up with Jaclyn to create Take a Paws. Laura’s extensive experience with horses, dogs, cats, small animals, reptiles, and even farm animals truly makes her stand out in her knowledge of animal behavior and interactions. She trains with a unique blend of verbal and nonverbal communication, and will teach you to do the same! Laura is excited to be able to help pets and their families live happier, healthier lives!
