Dog Training

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.

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!

27 March 2025

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!

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...

Lay Lo was super communicative and made it very easy to follow along with the training plan-- Emily our trainer was so nice and helpful throughout all the sessions.

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.

Dog Training

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.

Dog Training

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...

Homeschooling with Lay Lo was beyond my expectations. Initially, I was concerned about remote training, but it became apparent even during the first session just how beneficial and effective it was going to be. Katie was our trainer, and she was fantastic. She went above and beyond to give us a great training experience and foundation for life with our pup. We went from having a pup who was frustrating us to no end to now having a pup who is a total joy. I can't thank Katie and Lay Lo enough! I recommend them to everyone I can because they are that good. :) More...

I was skeptical doing virtual training, but it actually worked. I have 4 german shepherds. Emily and I worked on my most difficult one. She's a little over a year head strong and so much energy.
Emily came thru with different training techniques. When she suggested one I didn't think would work she had another back up plan right away. My girl keeps progressing everyday. All training techniques Emily gave I can use on my other 3. Emily did a great job teaching me to. Can't thank her enough.
Also, want to give a thank you to Nicole, I met her for a 15 session for a particular quirk my girl had every morning. Her recommendations has worked wonders. Can't thank them both enough. I even think some of my sanity is coming back.😁

We rescued a senior dog and needed help with her reactivity toward other dogs.

As a family of four, bringing a new puppy into the mix was a bit of a daunting undertaking. However, with Katie's help, we were able to succesfully tackle the up's and down's that come with being a puppy owner and had so much fun doing so. We were able to get our boys involved in the training process and get them to feel the pride of teaching a dog new tricks. Katie was super supportive and we couldn't have asked for a better trainer. Highly recommend! More...

Lay Lo's convenience of training via zoom is what made me choose them. Besides it made sense that us pet owners should be the ones interacting with our dog directly during training. Their positive reinforcement philosophy is what I loved the first when our sessions started. Emily is not only extremely knowledgeable and professional but thorough in every concept and explanation about Mia's behavior. I highly recommend Lay Lo and Emily of course. Mia's issues have improved and continue progressing because now I have the tools to keep reinforcing her towards being a well behaved little mauxie. More...

Our trainer Emily was incredible! Her attention to detail was second to none. At first I didn't know what to expect training 2 dogs virtually, but Emily made things fun and easy to follow. I am especially thankful for the games she taught us to help with leash reactivity.

The communication with the entire team was smooth and easy during the 6 weeks we spent training. The resources that were given to us during graduation have been so valuable and we continue to see improvements each week. Thank you so much to Emily and the whole team, you are game changers!

We had Emily and what a great trainer she is. She helped me learn how to take my dog from a triggering situation where he barked and lunged and had major meltdowns with people and animals to a dog who now will look at me for commands and is able to let people cross in front of us. Other animals were still working on, but he is doing much better with he’s a calmer dog. I’m a calmer owner and, so grateful to the school and Emily for all her health. It was to the point that I was thinking of putting my dog down because I knew nobody else would take him now I have the dog I want and love thank you again for everything. More...
