You're concerned that you don't seem to be getting anywhere with your dog's training or behaviour. You really want to change things, but you just don't know how! There's so much conflicting information out there and everyone likes to offer their opinions, making you really confused.
Don't worry... You're in the right place for support!
As a qualified dog behaviourist and trainer in Norwich, Norfolk, I can help you!
I'm a registered Clinical Animal Behaviourist and I've helped many people and their dogs with a range of behaviour and training struggles. But, I've also been there with my own dog, so I know exactly what it's like to be fed up and struggle with your dog's behaviour, even though you can't imagine life without them. This means I can totally relate to your experience and I can use my extensive education and experience to help you find a way forwards!

Get my support with your dog’s aggression, reactivity, or to build their confidence.
Lauren communicates in a very clear and practical way and she’s so kind and understanding. Her approach has been very thorough and reassuring and she spots the small stuff too. I have followed her advice and suggestions and now have a much more harmonious trio of hounds and a much less stressed me! The added support of being able to WhatsApp Lauren with any queries or concerns is an added bonus and helps me nip any niggling concerns in the bud. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lauren – she really knows her stuff and she’s made a world of difference to me and my dogs. Thank you!

Through exploring your dog’s history, health, routine, environment, interactions, training and much more, I’ll help you understand why your dog is behaving as they are.
Then, I’ll explain what will be required to make change, provide you with realistic strategies to make things easier, help you develop the necessary training skills you need and support you in achieving peace of mind and getting to where you want to be with your dog.
1. Follow the relevant booking link above to schedule in your initial consultation.
2. Send my vet referral form to your registered vet and ask them to complete, sign and return it to me.
3. Complete and send me your dog behaviour questionnaire, along with any video footage you have of your dog’s problem behaviour.
4. After your initial 2 hour consultation, you’ll receive an assessment report and plan and have a support period where you can email/WhatsApp me questions, or for feedback on videos. I’ll also check in with you monthly to see how you’re getting on.
5. You’ll also have the option to book recommended follow up support sessions!
If you have questions… please do get in touch!…
Get In touchYes. I have a an MSc in Clinical Animal Behaviour.
I'm both a registered Animal Training Instructor (ATI) and Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CAB) with the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC). I'm also a full member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC), a Candidate member of the Fellowship of Animal Behaviour Clinicians (FABC) and a full member of the Professional Association of Canine Trainers (PACT).
Why does this matter...
Working with someone qualified means you'll get an educated and supportive approach, which follows the science and prioritises welfare.
You'll stand the best chance of getting to the bottom of the problem... which means being able to move forwards with peace of mind!
Working with me involves getting to the bottom of what's going on with your dog's training or behaviour and helping you understand why they're acting like this.
You'll be given realistic advice and strategies about how you can work towards change, have support in learning the necessary training skills you need and feel supported in finding a positive way forwards, for you AND your dog!
I'll guarantee you support, my expertise and working towards the best long term outcome for you and your dog.
I don't promote or use 'quick-fixes', which are often involved if you're given guarantees of 'fixing behaviour'. There are various methods which appear to 'fix' behaviour in the short term, usually at a detriment to your dog and often leaving you with even more problems in the long run. Behaviour is complex and impacted by too many variables to make guarantees!
The best route to success is understanding the problem and finding a realistic way forwards, which looks for the best outcome for you AND your dog. So, if this sounds like something you want and you're ready to learn and start the journey towards change, then...
I can help you!
If you'd like support with a behaviour problem, then yes!
Any properly qualified behaviourist will require a vet referral. Behaviour is complex and often impacted by health, so vet liaison is essential.
It's an easy process, you just need to ask your vet to sign my referral form, which can be found above.
1. Be open to suggestions and new ideas, but don't be afraid to raise any concerns you have with me. I want to make sure suggestions I make are going to be feasible for you.
2.Understand that just like trying to change habits in ourselves, seeing change in our dog's behaviour isn't always simple (behaviour can be complex!). It may be hard at times, but know you've got my support! The same goes for dog training, the more you put into practising training and working with your dog, the better results you'll see!
3.Take full advantage of my support and ask me questions, ask for my feedback on videos and fill me in on your progress, or any setbacks. There's no silly questions and I'm always happy to hear from you!
