RIP Karen Pryor. I didn't know her personally, but I learned and grew as a dog trainer from reading her books, hearing her lectures, and attending ClickerExpo. She has an unmatched legacy that will continue, and my heart goes out to those who knew and loved her personally.

About Karen Pryor Karen Pryor, publicity photo for Oceanic Institute, about 1968. Karen Pryor had many interests. She was an observer of the smallest detail (as a child she studied butterfly anatomy) but what made her life’s work exceptional was that she also saw the big picture. It would have bee...

About the trainer

Since 2010, Laura McGaughey, CPDT-KA, ABCDT has been a dog handling professional on the dog trainer path. Her start was as a shelter volunteer as a dog walker, then dog trainer, developing and running classes to help dogs become more adoptable, and shelter volunteers to keep safe while coaching them to work with dogs' behavior and training. To this end, she put together a team of trainers to run a variety of classes free of charge.

In 2012, she launched a successful company, Delightful Doggies, that first offered dog walking and pet sitting, and then grew into a dog training business. Clients came to Laura for her expertise on reactivity, "hyperactive" dogs, "naughty" adolescents, puppy and new dog obedience training, fear, aggression, anxiety and nose work.

In 2017, she was invited to work at a national-level service dog organization. Leaving her business behind, she opted to learn and grow in a new career path. While it was very fulfilling, Laura felt called to start a new business with even more amazing offerings to clients.

Born in Louisville, KY and raised in Mount Eden, KY, Laura moved to Denver, CO in 1996 and returned to the Bluegrass State in April, 2020 to help care for her mother and launch Way Cool Canines. Laura currently resides in Shelbyville, KY with her mother and her two dogs, Jasper the fluffy butt shelter mutt and Hidalgo, a Chihuahua.
