MEET LAURA
"Laura has an in-depth practical background in complex behavioural issues in companion dogs and also has experience working with large guarding breeds in both the home and working environment. She has worked across the country with leading experts in protection dog training and award winning bitesport trainers, giving her a rare and strong insight into genetic influences in dog behaviour; in particular those that are deemed the most challenging to own.
​
She has spent years studying canine psychology and the impact nutrition, lifestyle, environment and genetic traits can have on companion and working dogs to apply this to her behavioural work and studies. Along side her pet dog behavioural assessments and training programs, Laura has also hosted popular training workshops across the UK, collaborating with other industry experts. She is a mentor to upcoming dog trainers and behaviourists in the hopes of improving and supercharging the effectiveness and quality of dog training that is offered to owners in the future.
