Homeschool by LAY LO: Dog training with world-class experts

Amazing trainers with a plethora of knowledge. I was able to understand how my Hope needed communication that worked for her and allowed me to understand how she communicates with me. It has helped me and her build a stronger bond while taking on new journeys in life. She is my other half that makes me proud. I could not have done it without this team. More...

Homeschool by LayLo has training experts with extraordinary skills for coaching owners to train dogs. In addition to logged recaps of recorded sessions, we had access to training videos, printouts and a library to enhance a lifelong journey with our dogs after graduation. Extra perks are generous and there for the taking.

We were paired with Tracy, a calm, gentle and patient sensitive anxiety expert whose pleasant disposition brought out the best of Petey and me. “Team Petey” offered comments as I posted notes and videos of our homework prior to sessions with Tracy.

His excessive reactivity and anxiety after the loss of our 13 year old dog had become concern for our personal safety in the car and at home.

Tracy’s weekly sessions have greatly dimmed Petey’s separation anxiety, car rides, vet visits and being around new people. We are enjoying his new course of becoming quiet and laid back, and will continue training him using the skills Tracy gifted us.

Through Tracy’s inspiration of not deliberately putting him in triggering situations, he’s calmer and enjoy’s himself with less chaos, also giving us peace and calm. More...

Emily was amazing! My dog is an anxious girl- and Emily was so patient and gave sooo many resources and hands on tips. I definitely see a difference after our 6 weeks together- my dog is more confident and in particular I have tools for when friends come over so that my dog can stay calm and happy. Would 100% recommend, especially for anxious/rescue dogs!! More...

Tracy was a great coach and was always eager and excited to train Christine n I. My biggest fear with Bandit was that he wouldn’t pick up the training but Tracy started us small and worked up to bigger things. Bandit is easier to control and much less reactive. I would highly recommend Tracy as a coach, her knowledge and the way she explained everything made sense. More...

Working with Miss Tracy was absolutely AMAZING! She was patient, kind, and loved my dog like her own! Miss Tracy provided step by step ways to get my dog trained and even provided new tricks and tips for me! My dog and I are soooo thankful! She was flexible understanding and continuously supported us ! THANK YOU MISS TRACY! More...

We had an awesome experience with Katie and the dog training service. Katie was incredibly attentive, caring, and helpful throughout the entire process. They did an excellent job with Bella, and Bella learn so much. Bella looked forward to her class day and willing to do the work. The dedication and love for animals truly shows in their work. Highly recommend! More...

I had a great experience with Laylo! Online training was super convenient and very easy to adapt to my own personal schedule. You are connected with a trainer who personalizes a plan to your wants, needs, and goals for your dog and you come out of each weekly session with a notes, resources, etc. Great value for the price!! More...

We were at our limit with our 12 year old mini poodle. He had become so grouchy and difficult. He frightened our other two dogs and we were unable to take care of him. After working with Tracy JC is happy and plays nicely with the other two dogs. Tracy is patient and was great at helping us read JC’s body language. We learned he needed pain management. He also needed for us to understand his signals. I highly recommend Homeschool by Lay Lo. My spouse was hesitant about the cost, but now feels we made a good decision to hire Lay Lo for dog training. More...

Working with Nicole and LAYLO was an excellent experience. I don't know what we would've done without having Nicole in our corner, during our first weeks with our rescue pup. She laid the foundation for us to create a calm, nurturing environment for him. We still use many of the earliest activities we learned from her to this day!

I would recommend Nicole and Homeschool by LAYLO to any new dog parent! More...

Great experience. I have a very large, young husky/malamute mix. A main issue was jumping. I was looking for a obedience training class and found Homeschool. It was the perfect setting for him. The team was fantastic and so supportive. I worked with Tracy. She was great. Understood what I needed and the best path for it. I have recommended Homeschool by Lay low and would totally recommend this program. It's specialized to you and your pup. More...

Tracy was amazing to work with and was very responsive to all the questions and concerns that we had; there were a lot of them. She was able to work with us on figuring out the best approaches for our very unique, non-food motivated, doggo. Sisu has come a long way from when we first started, and I can credit that on the knowledge that Tracy imparted to us. More...

We had the pleasure of working with Emily, and she was absolutely phenomenal. We reached out for training because our dog, Pippin, was showing signs of aggression and reactivity. From the very beginning, Emily was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and thorough. She not only provided us with practical tools to use, but also took the time to explain the “why” behind Pippin’s behavior, helping us truly understand his triggers and responses.

Through her guidance, we discovered that Pippin is actually a very anxious little guy (big feelings in a small body!), and many of his reactions stemmed from that underlying anxiety. Emily helped us recognize the subtle signs of stress we had been missing and showed us how his emotional state impacted his ability to learn and retain new behaviors. She also introduced us to the concept of trigger stacking, which has been a game changer in helping us manage his threshold more effectively.

Most importantly, Emily advocated for Pippin throughout the process. She helped us see things from his perspective and emphasized the importance of setting him up for success, not just correcting behavior. The tools and insights she shared have become part of our daily routine, and the progress we've made is a testament to her expertise and dedication.

We’re so grateful for everything she taught us—and for the confidence she gave us in helping Pippin thrive. Thank you so much Emily for everything you've done for us! More...

I couldn't be happier with my experience with LAY LO Homeschool! I had low expectations for seeing immediate results, but to my surprise, we noticed an improvement in Archie's behavior after our very first session with our trainer Tracy. We achieved all of our goals and even more in just six weeks! I highly recommend LAY LO Homeschool; I am so impressed that I plan to enroll my second dog in their training program as well! More...

Training with Morgan was great. I have PTSD, from a Coyote attacking & killing my dog last Christmas. His name was Riley. I then adopted another dog, from a shelter, 3 weeks later . His name is Bentley. Bentley is chihuahua/terrier mix and was 18 months old. Bentley was very scared but also very sweet and cute. I signed up with Laylo because they taught positive reinforcement, took payments and offered one on one training via video on Zoom. Morgan was my fabulous trainer. Morgan listened to me tell her about the issues I was experiencing with Bentley, such as growling at anyone who tried to pet him. Then Bentley started coming at people and pulling on their pant legs with his teeth. I set up our bedroom as his safe space room and installed a doggy gate . Bentley is so relaxed in his room, now. Bentley can interact with a visiting dog buddy but no toys or treats. This is working out well. Bentley is slowly learning to play and even lets some of the dogs humans pet him, but under the chin, only. Morgan was very therapeutic about my situation and would tell me if I was having a reaction to a trigger, just like Bentley. I’m now able to really calm myself down, quickly, once I realize I’m reacting. Morgan is a professional dog trainer who trains humans to better understand their dog’s unique situation. I work with Bentley every day. We do 4 or 15 minute sessions and Bentley thinks we’re just having fun. Thank you, Morgan. I miss our training sessions but I don’t miss Bentley growling or snapping at me. More...

Everyone I spoke with was professional and courteous. Everything was clearly explained and executed as expected. My 4 month old GSD named Cleo was able to learn the basic obedience with ease. My trainer, Katie, was very knowledgeable and patient with us. Cleo has been steady learning and continues to fine tune her lessons. All the tips and tricks, as well as reading materials helped me be a better human to my pup. Thank you all so much. More...

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. More...

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. More...

Katie was a wonderful coach. We enjoy our time together so much, we learned so many things. Heidi has learned so much and is a good trained little lady. Thank you so much for your patience and kindness. More...

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. More...

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...

Morgan was extremely helpful & pleasant to work with. She gave me tips that has helped Oakley & myself

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...

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...

Just completed online training for my dog, Vera.
Emily and the team provided excellent support, expertise, and compassion as we helped our reactive pup.
The team offered endless encouragement and was adept at navigating dog and human meltdowns when the training became challenging or frustrating. I can't recommend them enough, and thank Emily and the team for their compassion and care. More...

I'm so grateful for all I've learned in this journey with my puppy Bon Bon. Totally invaluable! The team support and knowledge and truly Cari ng how you and your puppy are doing in the journey. I want more time with the team, felt like my own mom club:) More...

Emily was great! She made our training easy, fun, and customized per our dog's unique intricacies. Emily was also very flexible with our schedule, as we often travel for work. We highly recommend!

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 worked with Tracy and what a blessing!! From the start Tracy was so supportive and encouraging. She provided me with great tools, always giving me and Canela positive reinforcement and she really helped me build my confidence so much. Thank you so much!

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...

We love Jeny!!’She is stormy kind very knowledsble and easy to work with!!Tjsnk you for all your hard work it’s starting to pay off!! We will keep you updated!!🐾

The best, Tracy and the people at Lay Lo dog training has been great! We have 7 dogs, 4 are just 1.5 years. Tracy started with the basics, and worked her way with one dog and myself, till my one dog was seamless. I can’t thank her and the company enough! I highly recommend!!!

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...

I can’t say enough amazing things about this training program!! Our trainers Jeny and Nichole we so experienced kind and most of all patient that it’s so very heartwarming to have worked with and trained with them. They are such a gift and we are grateful thank you !!!!❤️🐾 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! More...

Jeny was an excellent instructor! She was patient with both me and my puppy. Most importantly, she taught me how to train my pup, giving me great direction and suggestions! If things were not working, she would offer alternatives until we found the right solution. She was instrumental in the potty training, biting issues and where the best place to house my puppy when we are gone! She was exceptional! More...

Emily was a joy to work with!!! She came to every session with infectious enthusiasm and made it easy for us to understand what our dog, Max, was feeling and how to work with him. We saw immediate improvement every session and walked away with a plethora of tricks and tips that to communicate with Max and train him to exhibit preferred behaviors. I will definitely recommend LAY LO and Emily to any other dog owners in need. More...
