 Nadine and SparkyWe 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! |  Cindy and Moxie"We have only been for 3 sessions and I can't believe the difference in my dog and my understanding of her. I highly recommend Planet Pup, Lauren truly is exceptional!" |  Allaistar with Twiglet"Lauren was brilliant. Great empathy with our dog (& us!). Our dog is massively better since we went to her. Also, very good value for that level of quality & 1:1 coaching." |

 Sandra and Sid"Such a productive day today with Lauren . Sid came away with new skills and a much calmer dog. I was nervous as Sid is an older dog but he took to Lauren immediately as did I , firm and friendly . Her love of dogs and what she does shines through. So glad I stumbled across this page . Looking forward to our next session ." |  Genevieve and PucaAfter our baby was born I struggled to manage our 6 month golden retriever puppy. I couldn’t walk her with the buggy due to pulling and realised that she was not as obedient as I needed her to be when at home. I loved our pup so much but it was beginning to feel impossible and I regretted the decision to get a puppy.I reached out to Lauren and honestly it was the best decision we ever made!Following completion of the 6 week course, our pup is so much calmer and much quicker to follow direction. |  Micheal and AppolloLet it be said from the start, we can’t recommend Lauren enough! We got a rescue dog who is amazing in so many ways, but also had some pretty tough behaviours - terrible separation anxiety, would chew up anything if left alone, pulled like mad on the leash, and had a hard time around other dogs. He clearly wanted to play, but he would get so nervous that he would frequently snap at other dogs. From the first session, Lauren helped us make sense of everything. |

Puppy Training
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.
Our puppy training courses help you to understand how your pup learns, and we show you how to set them up to be a confident, well-mannered adult dog.
You’ll learn practical skills together and build clear communication from day one.
What you’ll learn:
-
Essential cues: Sit, Stay, Recall, Loose Lead Walking
-
Polite everyday manners at home and out and about
-
Potty training, crate training & biting prevention
-
Confidence-building exercises and real-world skills

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.
