Laura Stinchfield has proven herself many times over to be the ONLY individual (trainer) i will recommend. Each pet is handled with the sensitivity and concern needed to build a strong, healthy and willing companion for their owners.

Hey Laura, I hope you are doing great. You had such a huge impact on Roxy's progress and we really want to thank you so much for your help. Your advice really built our confidence in the beginning, and we all learned so much. We really miss you. By the way, Roxy is now an expert at "roll over" she does it without treats. We really miss you and miss looking forward to our meetings.

Roxy, Jenn & Andrew

Laura's skills are excellent. She is an experienced trainer utilizing only positive methods. Her gentle innate nature is lovingly communicated to the animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking training or behavior modification for their faithful companion.

Laura Stinchfield has an impressive record here with us a San Luis Obispo County Volunteers for Animals, having communicated and assisted in the resolution of problems with several of our rescues. Laura's approach is positive and has proven to be right on target.

Among the animals with whom Laura has assisted us was Nicky, a "legally blind" cat. Nicky was aggressive towards other cats, mercilessly attacking them if given any opportunity.

Laura was able to pinpoint the origin of the problem, and although it was too ingrained to correct, it gave us insight into Nicky's feelings and valid reasoning of his behavior, enabling us to then place him in an appropriate home, where he now happily lives as the only cat.

Our organization is sincerely grateful for Laura's generous donation of her time and talent to our needy animals.

Our dog is an amiable, curious, enthusiastic, and STRONG Pit Mix. Until Laura worked with him and us, it was impossible to take him to town. He now knows how to walk nicely on leash, meet other dogs, and STAY in the convertible while dad gets coffee. I've now been able to tell him, "WAIT" in the open yard, and he'll be there and hour and a half later on the lawn or on the steps, having played but waited in the area until my return.

Thanks to Laura's communication skills he is a success story and he has retained his charming personality. He is a sweet smart dog and Laura is an amazing friend to him and to us.

Marcy was a quite complicated mare before Laura communicated with her. Once Laura was able to speak with her and find out what was bothering her, I was able to understand my horse.

She needed to be treated gently and quietly and spoken to often. She was nervous when the wind was strong for her hearing was overly sensitive.

Laura was able to give suggestions to help me calm her and work on my issues as well. As a result of Laura's talk with Marcy, she and I have been more relaxed.

Laura was able to get to the heart of Marcy. She is a very special and gifted person.

My husband Neal and I have received splendid help from Laura Stinchfield, regarding the Queen of our Hearth and Hearts, classy calico cat Tiffi.

Through Laura's communications with our cat we received very valuable information, health news, and emotional preferences of our feline companion. Laura's truly wonderful expressions of thoughts and wishes, brought actual tears to our eyes.

We are New York City people, so we're sharply alert to fuzzy generalizations, all-purpose scams, or just plain inaccurate work, by communicators. We have encountered all three; that's why we're sticking with Ms. Stinchfield!

Again and again the tone fits the cat, none of whom Laura has ever met in person. And again the animals' statements and sentiments ARE borne out when we act on them.

Two holistic veterinarians have consulted Laura's "Tiffi reports: and incorporated the information Tiffi transmitted into their diagnoses and protocols, which fills us with joy, that our veterinarians' ability to maintain our ancient little lady's longevity is increased!

We are tremendously happy we found Laura and recommend her rampantly. She is earthy, sensible, well-grounded in real life, as well as genuinely respectful of and in love with the animals in a healthy and balanced way. She lives life in an unusually pure and exuberant way. Long may she converse with our animal companions and friends!

Laura has been such a wonderful resource for our family. My sister died a few years ago leaving a very traumatized cat behind. Bitsy had been alone with my sister's body for five days before she was found. Within a very short time Bitsy had not only lost her mom and her home, but was moved to Camarillo straight into hostile Siamese cat territory...our house. The transition was rough for everybody. Thankfully we had worked with Laura before and Abby and Bosco had greatly benefitted from her visits. It wasn't easy, but being able to communicate withall three of them helped our two cats to understand why Bitsy was with us. Laura's visits helped all ot us as the cats adjusted to their new life together. We still hit some snags. There was some aggressive behavior and two of them were marking their territory inside the house. Laura came to the rescue again. We were able to find out who had been acting out and through communciation...we were able to see much improvement.

Two years ago after Bosco died, Laura came over to make sure that the girls were doing ok. The first thing that Bitsy communicated was that it stung when she urinated and she asked us to do something about it. I got her right into the vet and sure enough, she had a urinary tract infection and was subsequently treated for it. My vet wanted Laura's number!

The two girls, Bitsy and Abby still have their moments, but for the most part live very peacefully together. Thankfully there is no more inappropriate elimination, and any tiffs between them are short lived and no one gets hurt.

We feel so blessed to have Laura's incredible gift at our dispense. She has helped our little family so much. Thank you Laura!

Dearest Laura,

We were all touched at BETA by your interview (with Michael & Micah)! It brought tears to our eyes... Thank you so much for caring about our rescued animals and for promotion the "need" of the strays, a loving and secure home...

You are indeed a very compassionate person and a true friend to the animals.

Best Wishes,The BETA Team
