Cat Behavior
Education Services

Laura was so helpful to my cat, Winston, and our family. We had a case of redirected aggression and within 2 weeks, thanks to the help of Laura and her expert recommendations and interventions, Winston was back to his regular self. Laura also helped us work collaboratively with our wonderful vet, Dr. Crest at Animal Medical Clinic- Dulany, to start Winston on anxiety meds which has helped our sweet boy more than we could have ever known! Thank you Laura & the team at Pawsitive Vibes!

Laura is a compassionate and expert cat trainer. My sister-in-law was having difficulty managing two cats that came into her care, and Laura’s advice was a huge help for her getting control of the situation. Laura worked at MDSPCA when I volunteered in the cat room, and she taught me so much about how to assess behavior in cats. No one knows more than she does when it comes to car behavior and training!

We had a great experience with Laura. We sought her out to help with our very sweet, but very high energy Bengal cat who had a penchant for destruction. I joked that she was there less to train the cat and more to train the cat owners, but it’s true. By changing our approach and being more consistent we are starting to see signs of improvement. We saw immediate changes in our cat. For example, our cat is NOT a lap cat. Within 30 minutes of Laura leaving, she jumped up in my lap and fell asleep! I took it as a great sign that she felt her needs were now being seen and addressed and she could chill out. I highly recommend Laura to anyone seeking help with their cat’s behavior.

Laura really helped us identify practical solutions to help our kitties become friends. We had been dealing with aggression and outside the litter box elimination behavior with our cats for almost a year, after introducing a new cat to the family. It was a huge stressor for our family, and nothing we tried on our own was helping. Our older cat has a lot of challenging health issues that added additional complications to the situation. I had contacted a different animal behaviorist that my vet had recommended and dealt with endless phone tag and the person was very dismissive and also very expensive. I appreciate how diligently Laura wanted to learn about our story and our cats’ issues. I loved how easy it was to book our sessions online and how responsive Laura is to email as well. The kitties now get along quite well and the changes we made with Laura’s help have made a huge difference with the elimination behaviors.

I reached out to Laura with a unique situation for her expertise on behavior issues between my resident cat and a stray cat I brought inside after caring for him outside over several months. I reached out to others for help without success, feeling desperate and alone. I connected with Laura, and she promptly responded, making the time in her schedule immediately to learn about my situation. She asked thoughtful, detailed questions to gather information and also posed thought-provoking questions to me as I considered the right course of action. She quickly provided comments and an assessment. I recommend Laura at the highest level, for her responsiveness and sense of urgency, her knowledge and expertise, and her compassion. She is a rare gem!

Laura is amazing. As someone with an aggressive cat I have a lot of anxiety about having people over and how to manage my cat’s behaviors. After meeting with Laura I finally feel some hope that I can improve the situation. It has only been a couple weeks but I have already noticed improvements in my cat’s behavior from implementing Laura’s behavior modification plan. Laura clearly understands cats and I will definitely book her again for other behavior issues that might arise with my crew! I truly can’t thank her enough!

Laura figured out pretty quickly what our issues were and came up with practical advice and solutions to get our kitties to all be friends again. We have been making excellent progress towards our goals.

We adopted a new cat, and did all the things you’re supposed to do to introduce 2 cats to each other, but it just wasn’t working. Over the course of a couple months, Laura gave us the tools we needed to help our socially awkward cat learn to accept his new brother. Now they coexist, and we don’t have to worry about leaving them together. Laura really knows her stuff!

My female cat, Josie was having a problem taking medication, and Laura gave me some ideas on what to do. So far we have changed her food which helped and since she has no medication at the moment, I’m not sure what will help with that. I’m glad I contacted Laura because I feel I can email her at anytime and she is ready and willing to talk to me. We are also working on having Josie be comfortable with getting in the carrier to go to the vet. Laura gave me some good ideas and we are working on it.
