Ready to enjoy walks again? `
Do you find yourself waiting until dark to walk your dog, hoping you’ll avoid other dogs and stares from neighbors? Maybe you’re tired of your shoulder aching after a stroll around the block? Let me help you get relief.
I specialize in loose leash and leash reactivity training, or dogs who lunge and bark at other dogs when on leash. My leash programs transform on-leash terrors into courteous canines, restoring your confidence and getting you both back to enjoying walks together.
How I can help
The world is full of distractions, and each dog has their own challenges on-leash. But here are a few of the most common leash issues I can help you with:
Polite leash walking
Barking, lunging or growling on-leash
Reactivity to other dogs & people
Small critter chasing
Surging on leash
Confidence boosting
Step 1
Schedule the initial behaviour consultation. We will discuss your concerns, address your needs and go over your goals. I will customize a training plan to your individual situation.
step 2
Choose the training service that best fits your lifestyle. Each training package can be delivered either in-person, online or as day training. I will help you decide which package best meets your needs.
step 3
Embrace the training journey. I am here to support you every step of the way to bring you the relief you are looking for. I am passionate about creating a positive learning experience for both you and your companion.
step 4
Enjoy your dog's transformation into the courteous companion you always knew they could be. With real training results you can feel good about.
“Lauren is an amazing and highly-skilled trainer! We wouldn’t trust just anyone with our two-year old yellow lab, Betsy! We enlisted Lauren’s services when Betsy was 3 months old to help us train Betsy on the leash and with some general obedience training. Lauren uses positive reinforcement and force free training techniques to teach and build confidence. It has been amazing to watch Betsy progress over the years and has enhanced our relationship with Betsy. ”
