About Me

Hi, I’m Laura, and I’ve been lucky enough to work with dogs for over 8 years. My journey has included dog walking, boarding, kennels and six years working in a busy doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. For the past three years, I’ve also been running puppy classes- helping both puppies and their humans build strong, positive foundations from the very start.

I hold an HND qualification in Animal Care, I’m dog first aid trained, fully insured, and have completed numerous courses with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers. I'm currently furthering my education as a student with the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT), and I’m committed to continuous learning-staying up to date with the latest in dog behaviour, training, and welfare is incredibly important to me and a huge part of how I work.

When I’m not spending time with dogs, I love travelling, cooking, and making memories with my family and friends.

My approach to dog care is rooted in transparency, honesty, and communication-not just with owners, but with dogs too. I believe in truly listening to your dog’s body language and behaviour to help you both understand each other better. Every dog is a unique individual, and my goal is to support their specific needs in a bespoke way that’s kind, respectful, and effective.

After close to a decade of working in the animal care industry, I’ve taken the exciting leap to focus on my business full-time. I’m passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of dogs and their people, and I can’t wait to support you on your journey.
