Our pug Bella had a very rough upbringing and we don't know a lot about her background. She was very skiddish of me and once we started training it took a while for her to come around. She needed some doggy meds to make her little brain not overload all the time. It took all of 6 weeks before we started seeing really good things and she's being a more confirmable dog around me.
I really enjoyed the training and the trainers. Would highly recommend for anyone struggling with a skiddish dog.

This course was absolutely perfect for us and our schedules. We dont feel as frustrated and decreased the level of stress. We had to learn how to communicate and understand the signs that he was giving to us. Very grateful for the program and our trainer and would highly recommend their services. More...

We have two dogs who were not get along, and go crazy when guests are over, and this has created some challenging situations. While it may seem like virtual behavior training for dogs would not be successful, we realized that working with the dogs in our own home, was a great way for Emily to observe the dogs in their most relaxed, and un-relaxed, states. While we did not have one "Aha" moment, we learned a lot about our dogs, their interactions, and many useful tools to help them co-exist. At the end of our 7 sessions, the dogs are comfortable in the same room for much of the day, and we have the tools to continue working with them to increase their comfort levels even more. Emily was always available to answer questions, and did a great job teaching us how to train our dogs in smaller, manageable steps. More...

I loved working with Tracy Martin - she got me, got my dog. And she really has dog wisdom. I was very impressed how she guided me and Riley thru basic training and also thru some tough behaviors that I had no idea how to handle.
I am impressed and grateful! Thank you.

I h








Honestly was not sure if I should sign up, but my pup is very reactive and I wanted to learn how to help him learn and grow in a healthy, positive way. From my first contact with Gabriela,
I felt comfortable. She and her team were professional, listened to my needs and set me up with a team. I do
not have enough words to express how
wonderful Charlie and I think Katie is.
She's calm, kind and so very
knowledgeable about how pups think
and how to help me get my pup safely into adulthood. Team Charlie,
including Nicole, were always available to answer questions and cheer us on.
They easily rate a 5! Would do it all
over again and know I will use LayLo
as a resource often.

5 stars for this entire program & Tracy! We loved the growth, check- ins, praise, & information we were able to experience in our 6 weeks! Bruno loves learning and it was evident in our first session we were in good hands with Tracy, she helped us make progress in both our specific & more broad goals with Bruno. Have & would recommend this program to families with busy schedules or anyone looking for a flexible & remote way to train or work through behavioral issues! More...

I highly recommend Homeschool by Lay Lo. I just complete 7 weeks of training and really gained so much insight to my dog Lucy's anxiety. I received a lot of excellent tips and tricks but the step by step training I received from Karen Diconstanzo was the best part. Great followup resources, training plan, and and 15 min checkins. Thank you so much! More...

Dog Training

From the very first session we were off and running. We together taught my dogs all the things I was concerned about in less time than I thought we could. Teaching me to teach them correctly and understanding them on a deeper level gave me the tools I needed to be successful. I am so proud of them and how much they accomplished in just a short time. I think one of the biggest advantages is having 2 trainers, 1 for the lesson and 1 for the follow up each trainer had different suggestions, and it really helped me with technique. I am very pleased and would not hesitate to reach out again if need be. Moving from the mountains to the city was difficult for my fur kids at first. Lots of noises, people, doorbells, triggers that made them bark and now I have the tools to manage these triggers. Thank you so much for helping me manage these big fur kids. More...

It was very easy to do Home School Training for my dog via the web. I learned a lot, got instant feedback & could check in during the week if I had issues or questions. In 6 weeks, I saw noticeable positive behavioral changes in my husky mix. I would highly recommend the LAY LO training platform to anyone as its like having a personal trainer in your home & it's fun! More...

Dog Training

Having 2 different trainers gave me so many skills to apply and they worked so well on my 2 fur kids. I was skeptical of completing all the new rules and lessons we had to learn moving from a mountain community to a busy noisy new home but we did it! They do not charge the door when the door bell rings, we took the meaning out of the car ride so they stay calm so I can manage them and so much more. I absolutely enjoyed working with you and will not hesitate to call if I need further instruction. I think the biggest lesson learned is you taught me how to be a better trainer because it was virtual I had to take the lead from you. It was perfect. More...

Homeschool by LAY LO was awesome. Tracy was so flexible with our crazy schedule and did an amazing job with our Bella. Thank you so much for helping us train in an affordable and flexible way!

I trained with Karen for 6 weeks with my highly anxious and reactive chihuahua mix. While she didn't have a magic wand, our time together was the next best thing! Marty has grown so much and I am so grateful for everything we have learned! I also genuinely appreciate that we only used positive reinforcement and when Marty needed a break, we were able to do that! I would recommend this training program to anyone, but especially for anxious dogs. Marty would not have made as much progress if we had to meet someone in person (or even if they came to our house) or if it wasn't as customized/unique to Marty. Marty and I communicate better, he's less anxious, and he recovers better after a trigger! We still have room to grow, but Karen really planted the seeds and I feel more confident now too! More...

Emily and Homeschool was great. They gave me insight into my dog that I would have never thought about. No doubt you put in a lot of work, but they are there to guide you. The extra tips are great. I would do it again, and I highly recommend them. More...

Homeschool by Lay Lo helped me and pup who turned out to have confinement distress. She is now able to be left home alone with no issues. Through 1:1 video format on walks, we found out she is a reactive dog. Walks have become more pleasant for both myself and pup with the application of tools we were taught. Can't say enough good things about the team. More...

Excellent program. Tracy was very patient and encouraging to my dog and me. Each week we learned more, and progress was much quicker than we expected. I highly recommend Lay Lo Homeschool for dog training! We have multiple dogs, and although it’s next to impossible to train all at once, with what we have learned with one we were able to teach the others. Some have different issues than the others, so we will be signing up for more lessons for the others! More...

It was honestly no what I expected, I was so pleasantly surprised with this training and our trainer, Tracy. She was so sweet and encouraging, she literally helped me grow my confidence and helped Canela and I be successful. I am forever grateful. I would recommend LAY LO to anyone who wants a good behaved dog but, also bonding and creating a link with your pup. More...

I was given a trainer who knew about my breed of dog. That helped because, as I learned, even though I had personally trained many dogs in my life, Dobermans are a whole different breed. Emily was very attentive to my issues and understanding. And the other trainers who answered questions along the way were also great. They make a great team. More...

Jenny was a dream! We are first time dog owners and were slightly skeptical about the online training but we would do it again and again with Jenny. She really made it for us. She was so enthusiastic and really flexible. Our puppy excelled very quickly at certain exercises and rather then ending the session early since we “finished” our goals for the session, she made things harder for him and came up with exercises and games on the fly! Our experience with our new puppy went from one of exhaustion and unease to one of confidence and excitement. One of the best things about her is she was just as proud when our Biscuit accomplished a task as we were! More...

LAY LO Homeschool was a great experience. We started working with LAY LO with our 10 week old puppy, and got custom training, tips, and tricks weekly! Our trainer Katie was very attentive to our pups needs, and always presented multiple ways to solve a problem or to work through a new trick or behavioral issue. Katie was able to pivot our training to fit our needs as our pup grew up, and it was super helpful having her available through text weekly when bumps in the road or questions came up. It was also great to celebrate our weekly successes with her too!

We are grateful for Homeschool by LAY LO , have learned so much, and our pup is well rounded after his training sessions. Thank you!

I was assigned to Jeny Paik as our dog trainer, she was wonderful to work with.
My dog Cooper would bolt out the door the minute it was opened. She was able to help me teach Coop how to sit on his place cot and he would not leave unless told to do so. She did a great job and I was grateful for her help.
I also had an issue with my dog peeing in and pooping in our home. This was something new he had started. They suggested I take him to his vet and make sure he didn't have a UTI. Yep he had a UTI which caused him to start peeing in the house. They also suggested we put him back into his crate at night and see if that helps. He didn't like that since he hadn't been in a crate in 3 years. We just kept our gate closed that goes into our bedroom (he sleeps with us) and that stopped him from peeing in the house. Overall they solved all our problems.
I have told anyone that I run into that is getting a puppy or has issues with their dog to try Homeschool. I highly recommend them to anyone.

I absolutely loved working with Homeschool. I found a 1 year old Chihuahua tied to a gate while I was at work. I immediately contacted the shelter and adopted her shortly after. She had been mistreated and had severe anxiety. I wasn’t sure how to help Rosey and I read about Homeschool with Lay-Lo. I paired up with Tracy and Nicole and little by little, with a lot of mission assignments, Rosey has made big improvements. She still has to work through some things but now I understand Rosey and why she does what she does. I never realized that dogs could suffer so much from anxiety. Homeschool has given me the tools I need to help Rosey with her anxiety. I will never be able to thank these ladies enough. I’m so glad I found Homeschool!!!




Rosey has learned to trust me and she knows I will always keep her safe.

This was my first experience with a pet in many years and the dog I adopted had severe separation anxiety!
Emily and the whole team sat Laylopet assured me that with time and training she could become the precious companion I had hoped for. The transformation has been miraculous!! She still loves being with me, but has become calm now for increasing lengths of time when left alone at home. No more panicked pup!
I appreciate so much the patience that Emily had with me and the expertise that she used with us to increase Gigi’s confidence in my return and calmness in my absence. She encouraged me to add more socialization for her and that has been great for both of us!!
All in all, our experiences has been extremely valuable and enjoyable!!

We have a completely transformed dog! Our sweet boy is sweet to his family but is a loyal and protective German Shepard to anyone else and had become aggressive. After a scary episode, we signed up. Emily is great- she made everything simple to understand and worked at his pace and to his abilities. While he will never love strangers or company, he has learned to just come find mom, which is his safe place. We were able to witness with hands-on, real life scenarios that he is not mean or aggressive, he is just scared. He and I can now live our lives, being careful and aware while protecting each other! Thanks for everything Emily! Bingo, good boy! More...

I rescued my sweet stubborn Frank, the Bull Terrier a little over a month ago. We didn't waste any time looking for options on who to help train him. I am so thankful to find Lay Lo. From the first session working with Katie, the best trainer I could have ever asked for, Frank showed progress. I had no idea how to train a dog. She taught me everything I needed to do with ease. Katie is a wealth of knowledge. She totally changed the game for us. We are going to use everything we learned and we will be back for more. ❤️ More...

My fiancé and I were blessed with our rescue dog earlier this year, after finding him under our car in the intense summer heat, alone and malnourished. This traumatic experience left him scared of people and other dogs. We began to feel isolated and overwhelmed due to his intense reactivity, and we really felt hopeless until we found LAY LO pets. With a team of professionals, we were met with compassion and reassurance that we could help our dog. This training has not only helped our dog immensely, but also us as dog owners, giving us the tools to build a solid foundation for the rest of his life. Online dog training may seem intimidating at first, but LAY LO is truly equipped with quality trainers, and are with you every step of the way. Our questions were always answered with detailed responses and we felt like our dog's interests were always put first. We love LAY LO, and so will you. More...
