Preventing problems before they start
Is your puppy chewing, pulling on the lead, and not coming when called?
Many common behaviour issues like these begin in the first year!
Things like biting, potty accidents, pulling on the lead, and poor recall are common issues and are much easier to prevent than to fix later.

Dog Behaviour Consults
Professional Help for Serious Issues
Is your dog anxious or fearful?
Do they show aggression to people or other dogs?
Do they bark all hours of the day and struggle with Separation anxiety?
Our one-to-one behaviour consults provide professional, tailored support that can help you to solve why your dog is behaving in this way and how to correct it.
We work with issues such as reactivity, aggression, anxiety, fear-based behaviours, excessive barking, and separation distress. Every consult begins with a full assessment so we can understand the root cause — not just the symptoms.
You’ll receive a clear, step-by-step behaviour plan designed for your dog, your home, and your lifestyle.
We can help with:
-
Reactive behaviour toward dogs or people
-
Resource guarding
-
Fear or noise sensitivity
-
Separation anxiety
-
Aggression or handling issues
Our approach is evidence-based, reward-led, and focused on long-term behaviour change — not quick fixes.

We were in a very difficult situation with our fearful and anxious Border Collie, when our Vet highly recommended Lauren. From the first phone call with her to all the Behavior Training sessions - Lauren is patient, professional and so knowledgeable. We have a much calmer dog now and learnt from Lauren also about his body language and breed. I would absolutely recommend Lauren!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lauren is a gifted trainer with so much knowledge. Our dog couldn’t wait for her lessons and there was a noticeable difference in her behaviour at the end of the course. We also gained a lot of confidence in walking and dealing with dog situations. Highly recommend Planet Pup.
