Episode Summary
Have you ever met a dog that changed your life? I did. Her name is Poppy, a rescue who turned my world upside down and set me on a career path I’d never anticipated.
I’m Lauren, now a Clinical Animal Behaviourist and in this episode, I wanted you to get to know me and how I got to where I am today. I’ll share with you the trials and triumphs of living with Poppy and how our journey together opened my eyes to the complex world of animal behaviour. I also chat about deciding to welcome my second dog Ivy to our family and how together we enjoy plenty of dog training fun.
I want Fur Real Conversations to be an honest and safe place where pet owners can ask questions, empathise and motivate each other so that together, we can lead the best life possible with our pets.

We all dream of that perfect journey when we first welcome a new pet, but animal ownership and companionship aren’t always perfect; it’s a journey of ups and downs. From those unforgettable moments of laughter to when we and our animals need a helping hand.
I’m Lauren, a clinical animal behaviourist, and Fur Real Conversations explores the realities of pet and animal ownership, one paw at a time!
I’ll share experiences, valuable expert tips, and candid conversations that inspire, empathise with and motivate you to lead the best life possible with your pet.
Creating a harmonious home with cats and dogs is often considered a challenge, but seasoned cat and dog behaviourist Lisa is familiar with the process.
In this episode, Lisa shares her expert guidance and essential strategies for introducing these furry friends while reducing anxiety and stress for both pets.
Together, Lisa and I walk you through the crucial steps of pre-introduction scent swapping to the importance of observing initial interactions and practical solutions for everyday challenges, such as dogs chasing cats and the environmental stressors that affect feline behaviour.
Whether you’re a new pet owner or looking to improve your multi-pet household, Lisa’s insights offer actionable support to create a safe and loving environment for all.
