Hiking Hounds of Bend

We love Lauren!! She has helped my 2.5 year old German Shepard/Great Pyrenees mix become less reactive on leash. I was having to walk my dog in unpopulated places because she would lunge at other dogs. Now because of Laurens training and expertise we are able to take walks regularly through places as busy and populated as the old mill and enjoy it.
