Lauren helped us retrain our dog before moving abroad after he became impossible in older age and it honestly changed our life! Our dog Piper had become extremely reactive towards other dogs and couldn’t even walk by them. After working with Lauren, Piper has been playing with other dogs every single day, visiting crowded markets in Europe happily, sitting at cafés, hiking off leash, and is even loving the dog park. He has had no issues with dogs big and small. Strongly recommend!

Lauren is awesome. She provides one on one focus on you and your pets as well as has a deep understanding of animal behavior and does a great job explaining the why and the what behind any questions you may have regarding behavior and training. The pack walks are great for getting in socialization and exercise.

A Thank You to Lauren and the Story of an Ex-Reactive Rescue Dog ✨ Oh, it was such a joy to finally take my favorite rescue dog, Nessa (an 8-year-old Belgian Malinois), home after a month of walks at the shelter. It was exciting because she was our first dog ever. But after just 5 days, we started noticing serious problems: endless barking (I'm not exaggerating when I say 500 times a day), reactivity towards dogs/people/cats/birds, protective behavior, pulling on the leash, restlessness at home, uncontrollable behavior, it felt dangerous... To be honest, after 10 days, we considered bringing her back to the shelter. We felt so incapable and thought someone else could handle it better. This was not at all the dog we had dreamed of. But then came the turning point. We desperately called Lauren, who guided us from A to Z. Thanks to her help, Nessa transformed in just a few weeks into a happy, relaxed dog. I never could have dreamed back then that we would have such a wonderful dog now. She can now walk off-leash, is no longer reactive, has found peace, is super obedient, is starting to trust people, and our bond is stronger than ever. If you are struggling, I want to encourage you and let you know there is hope. Don’t be afraid to ask for help because a good relationship with your dog is worth its weight in gold. Charlotte
