about curious snoots
Transforming walks. Transforming lives.
our why
At Curious Snoots, we believe walks are more than a daily obligation or a way to burn energy. They’re one of the most powerful and overlooked routines in a dog’s life.
Walks happen every day. They shape how dogs experience the world, how safe they feel, and how connected they feel to their humans. When approached with intention, walks become a space for learning, regulation, confidence-building, and trust.
That’s why we’ve chosen walks as our foundation. Not as a shortcut, but as a real-life canvas for meaningful change.
our philosophy
We specialize in working with dogs who have big feelings — fearful, anxious, sensitive, or reactive dogs who struggle to navigate the world calmly.
Helping these dogs isn’t about quick fixes, tighter control, or perfect behavior. It’s about understanding what’s really going on, meeting dogs where they are, and building skills that actually work in real life.
our approach is rooted in:
-
CURIOSITY
Curiosity over control
-
TRUST
Mutual trust and understanding
-
PLAY
Play, exploration, and thoughtful structure
-
SKILLS
Skills that transfer to the human, not just the dog

MEET LAURA ✦
Founder, Owner & Certified Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA)
Curious Snoots was born from a simple realization: many dogs don’t struggle because they’re “difficult,” but because the world moves faster than they can process.
Laura began her career in the corporate marketing world before following her childhood dream of working with dogs. Her early experience in a dog daycare and group settings revealed how overwhelming traditional models can be for sensitive dogs, sparking a deeper curiosity about behavior, emotional regulation, and how dogs actually learn (and thrive).
That curiosity evolved into a training philosophy centered around understanding and relationship-building. Today, Laura leads Curious Snoots as a certified dog trainer, blending canine enrichment, play, mental stimulation and practical skill-building to help dogs with big feelings (and their humans!) feel safer and more confident in the world.
