Learn from a Certified Guide Dog and Service Dog Trainer with 14 Years in the Industry
Laura DeMaio Roy is a certified guide dog mobility instructor and certified service dog trainer with 14 years of helping service dog handlers, just like you, create a deep partnership and working relationship with their assistance dog.
Why Learn from Laura?
Laura has been such an asset to our team. Her training style breaks tasks down into parts that are easy for both me and my Service Dog In Training to achieve. She has helped my dog become so much more confident and controlled, as he has a much better understanding of his job.
The way the training was executed fostered connection and trust between me and my dog. I am so proud of how far Archie has come and we couldn't have done it without Laura!
