“Laura has completely changed our relationship with our little nipping Jackapoo puppy.”
Hi! and thank you for taking the time to read my website.
After many years of working in education as a teacher, I moved across to start training our furry four legged friends instead! It is a wonderful job and extremely rewarding to help owners and dogs achieve their goals.
I've spent many years ensuring I am fully qualified to work as a trainer and behaviourist and continue to keep up with the most recent training theories and skills.

NATIONAL SCHOOL DOG ALLIANCE
Recognising the significant rise in the number of dogs being introduced into schools during the Covid pandemic, the National School Dog Alliance was established by a group of experienced animal-assisted intervention practitioners and researchers to provide clear, practical advice to teachers, school leaders, and governors.
Grounded in years of hands-on experience, the Alliance highlights the many benefits school dogs can bring to the whole school community, while ensuring that their introduction is purposeful, well-managed, and above all, prioritises the safety and wellbeing of children. We offer sound, independent, and non-judgemental guidance, tailored to a wide range of stakeholders—including children, parents, educators, governors, handlers, and researchers—supporting best practices for successfully integrating dogs into educational settings.
