Laura is one of a kind and has dedicated her life to dogs and their pet parents. She has an equal passion for dogs and humans alike. My dogs and I have been lucky enough to be a beneficiary of her expertise and training. This organization is in wonderful hands with Laura, and I can't wait to see the continued positive impact of The Preston's Planet Foundation.

After years of knowing Laura as both a client and a nonprofit director myself I am completely confident of her ability to make Preston's Planet soar and provide much needed help in the community. I have watched her work tirelessly on community service issues, my own included. She gives generously with her time and heart to provide for those in need to the benefit of both dogs and people. Laura is a gifted trainer and really does understand the canine mind and how to teach us owners how to build a bond of trust and understanding. I can not thank her enough for literally dropping everything to help me with my very aggressive terrier. I have watched her help numerous other people and organizations too. This nonprofit will go far and have loads of loving impact on both people and dogs.

Preston!
There are not enough words to describe this beautiful little soul.
He was not only a “star” to the public; he was actually a “star” that shinned bright from within.
He brought a smile to anyone that crossed his path.
He was a role model to all and no challenge was too big for him to conquer.
He looked at each day as another adventure, a day to embrace life and he lived such a full life.
He knew he had a mission.
The real hero was the pet-guardian that he chose to live out his life with, Laura Nativo.
Preston was Preston, but without Laura seeing thru him, recognizing the bright light that he carried, grasping the mission that he was brought here to accomplish, no one would have ever known him to be anything but “another dog”.
She gave her all and more to help him fulfill his dreams.
She became his human reflection!
In almost 2 decades of knowing them I have not seen Laura take one day off or veered from her purpose.
To make the world a better place for animals.
She opened up door after door, created awareness, shared smiles and tears non-stop no matter how many doors may have closed.
No challenges were ever too big for her, just like Preston.
I cannot say that I have met anyone like her or Preston on my path and am so thankful.
This is a mission worth getting involved in; it came from the heart, two hearts that beat as one.
Thank you Mr. Preston, Thank you Ms. Laura for making this world a better place.
Keep on the Path!

Laura is an amazing trainer! I am continually impressed by how well-behaved her dogs are and the very long list of complicated tricks she has taught them! Laura is someone to aspire to, not just because of her incredible dog training skills, but also because of her kindness and enthusiasm for her work. Everyone who meets Laura, both human and canine, walks away a better individual. Thank you Laura!

I’ve spent years witnessing the life changing service dogs that Laura has provided and am constantly impressed with her care, compassion and training abilities. She works tirelessly to locate and positively task train the best service dogs available. Her love and devotion to every animal and service dog recipient is inspiring. She has an amazing team behind her and I can’t wait to see what she does with this foundation.

I have been working with Laura rescuing dogs from PUerto Rico for over 20 years. As a flight attendant, I had the opportunity to carry dogs with me in the main cabin instead of the cargo area. Laura had the ability to prepare the dogs with her training techniques; provide medication and food and help with finding a good home for adoption. I hope she keeps up with her lifetime mission with the Preston Foundation.

As a veterinarian, I support Preston's Planet because I have witnessed first hand Laura's devotion to dog health and wellbeing -- whether her own beloved Preston, her clients' dogs, as well as dogs everywhere. I know this foundation is going to make the world a better place for dogs and the people who love them!

Thanks to this wonderful organization, my dog Teddy is able to travel with our family. He is so quiet & well behaved on the planes, most people don’t even know he is there. With Laura’s animal training background & expertise with service dogs, this foundation is sure to do great things.

I have known Laura for at least 20 years and let me tell you I have never known a bigger heart. This woman is the real deal , smart , kind , caring, generous, and in point with everything she touches . This non profit included.
And of course there’s no one who cares for dogs the way she does. Every dog she cares for is as if it’s her own , never unkind , never harsh . It’s love, love and then some more love . Yet somehow still firm . She’s amazing. I do not trust anyone else with my babies (dogs) . She is the one to measure all other trainers against .

My darling Havanese Suki was first trained by Laura Nativo of Preston’s Planet Foundation 11 years ago when Suki was a puppy. Over the years and do to my health issue Laura added to her training as a service dog. Laura is an exceptional trainer filled with compassion and truly a Godmother to Suki.
