In 3 short weeks, Lauren has helped transform our rescue collie, Mack, from an anxious pooch into an engaged and active companion. It's clear that Lauren has a real passion for dogs and delivers a programme that is fun for both dog and owner. She has great skill in reading Mack and suggesting little adjustments that make all the difference. Highly recommend her training programmes! Thanks Lauren!

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!

Carol and Una

Carol and Una

In only 3 sessions with Lauren, my Labrador Una has really been transformed! Our main issue was Una pulling at the lead when walking and it got to the point where walks were a nightmare! Now with Lauren’s guidance, Una has improved so so much and our walks can start to be enjoyable and fun. Lauren has such a passion for dogs, it’s clear to see it’s not just a job. She loves what she does. Would highly recommend Lauren for any dog training needs you may have!

Sandra and Sid

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 .

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.

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.

From the first session, Lauren helped us make sense of everything. She connected the dots between his behaviour and what we were doing (or not doing!) and gave us clear, easy-to-follow guidance. She was always patient, made sure we understood what we were doing, and helped us get it right. What we loved was how fun she made the training. She gave us games and exercises that not only worked, but also helped us bond more with our dog. The difference in him now is like night and day...
