Meet Your Coach

Hi, I’m Lauren!

CPDT-KA. CSAP-BC. FDM.

I’ve been fascinated by behavior for as long as I can remember. Starting with humans and progressing to dogs soon after, I’ve always wanted to understand why we do what we do.

In 2019, I brought home a former free living dog. Simply put, she changed my life. Emily hated her new life in central London. She was terrified of every noise, she barked and lunged at every dog or person she saw outside. She shook and hid every time fireworks were let off.

In my pursuit of answers to her problems, I found my life’s purpose and dove headfirst into canine behavior consulting and training.

Over the last 5 years, I’ve spent countless hours refining my knowledge of canine behavior and my coaching skills. I’ve been certified and mentored by experts in the field including Karishma Warr, Sarah Stremming and Julie Naismith.

I bring a wealth of experience tackling serious behavior concerns including separation distress, dog and human directed aggression, resource guarding, sound sensitivity/noise phobia, hyper-activity, predatory behavior and more.

I have experience working as part of multi-modal teams and have a fantastic cabinet of vets, vet physiotherapists, and colleagues to aide us in your dog’s wellness journey.


  • "Having worked with SO MANY F2F trainers and behaviourists, I can say with confidence , it doesn’t make a difference, in fact I would say Lauren is more responsive than other professionals I have worked with, so you have more input, but importantly they have the specialist experience we needed which many face to face dog professional just don’t have. I wish I had done this years ago."

  • My sheltie and I have worked with so many trainers but struggled to make real progress on her complex reactivity and sound sensitivity. Lauren is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and professional.

  • Lauren is a gem ! She understood my very fearful dog. I owe her so much. Would highly recommend ! She really follows the rythm of the dog. It’s healing for the dog and the human guardian. For context, my dog was adopted from the street of Mexico and she is highly anxious. Thanks for your kindness and expertise
