About
The Poised Pup

The Poised Pup is owned and operated by Laura Ferate. As a life-long lover of animals, Laura has always surrounded herself with pets of every type, but especially dogs. In 2021, Laura finally decided to pursue training certification and turned her love of dogs into a full-time passion project.

At The Poised Pup, our #1 goal is to help owners better understand their dogs and create harmony in the home. By training both the pup AND the owner, we’re able to keep more dogs out of shelters, off the euthanasia table, and in happy, loving homes.

The Poised Pup offers what trainers refer to as “balanced training.” You can find out more about our approach on our FAQ page.

Laura was fantastic! Very great at communication. Also, she was very in tune with training and positive reinforcement. Things such as my dog "checking in" with her during his triggers on leash. I could go on and on just made her the perfect walker. I'll definitely be booking Laura again.

Laura knows dogs, and is enthusiastic, confident, and gentle. She did a wonderful job with our big rescue dog, Riri. We look forward to her spending much more time with our dear girl!

Laura has walked my puppy weekly since he was 6 months old and is the only person I trust to do so! She very clearly understands dog behavior and body language. I trusted immediately that she understood leash manners and how to continue training. Highly recommend her!
