“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!”

Is Your Dog’s Behaviour Taking Over?
- Walks feel tense instead of enjoyable.
- You’re constantly scanning for triggers.
- Barking, lunging, growling or panic episodes are escalating.
- Maybe visitors cause stress.
- Maybe your dog can’t cope when left alone.
- Maybe you’re worried about safety.
- Maybe the constant barking at home is driving you crazy.
You love your dog — but you’re exhausted. These behaviours are stressful, and without the right support, they often intensify over time.
Why Book a Behaviour Consult?
- Identify the Root Cause Reactivity and aggression aren’t random. We assess what’s driving the behaviour — fear, frustration, anxiety, guarding — so we can address the source, not just the symptoms.
- A Personalised Behaviour Plan No generic advice. Your dog receives a structured plan tailored to their triggers, temperament, and environment.
- Safe, Science-Based Methods We use modern, reward-based behaviour modification that reduces stress and builds long-term change.
- Practical Management Strategies You’ll learn exactly what to do in real-world situations — on walks, at home, around visitors, and when facing known triggers.
- Ongoing Professional Guidance Behaviour change is a process. Follow-ups ensure steady progress and adjustments as your dog improves.
Results
- Fewer explosive reactions to dogs, people, or traffic
- A dog who can stay under threshold when stressed
- A clear plan for managing separation anxiety safely
- Less fear around noises, visitors, handling, or new environments
- Practical strategies for resource guarding and aggression
- Confidence handling situations that used to feel unpredictable
No more guessing. No more hoping it improves on its own. Instead, you’ll have a structured behaviour plan designed to reduce risk, lower stress, and create steady, measurable progress.

What Happens After You Book?
Because behaviour problems don’t happen in a training hall, Planet Pup’s behaviour consultations take place in your home and real-life environment.
This means we can work with the situations that are actually causing problems — whether that’s visitors arriving at your door, reacting on walks, guarding resources or struggling to settle at home.
I’ll also contact you separately to arrange your history call before the initial consultation. This gives me the background information I need so we can make the most of our time together.

Real Dogs, Real Progress – What our Clients Say
“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!”
“We had a great experience with Lauren our trainer who helped get Copper our cockapoo who had a lot of resource guarding and territorial issues to much better place in a short space of time. I would highly recommend her.”
“Amazing! Lola was very dog reactive, snapping and snarling on walks, but after just a few sessions with Lauren Lola was well on the road to a model citizen. She even learned some super cute tricks and walked in the lead like a legend!”
“Lauren has been brilliant and very approachable. Our 14 month golden retriever was a bit excitable and had no boundaries. 2 sessions with Lauren made a huge difference.”
“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.”
“Lauren was brilliant. Great empathy with our dog (& us!). Our dog is massively better since we went to her, and no longer eats stones. Also, very good value for that level of quality & 1:1 coaching.”
“We were so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Lauren, who helped us achieve a very hyper overactive puppy to this calm obedient dog.”
“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.”
Frequently Asked Questions
01 What happens during the initial behaviour consult?
We take a detailed behavioural history in a call before the session. When we meet, we will assess triggers and patterns and observe your dog and their reactions. You’ll leave with a clear explanation of what’s driving the behaviour and a structured, step-by-step plan tailored to your dog.
02 What happens after I book?
After you book, you’ll receive access to my booking calendar, where you can book your training sessions at times that suit you.
If you’ve booked a Behaviour Consult, go ahead and book your follow-up sessions through the calendar. I’ll then contact you separately to arrange your history call before your initial consultation.
03 My dog has bitten before. Can you still help?
Yes. Cases involving bites require careful assessment and management planning. Safety protocols are put in place immediately, and we work methodically to reduce risk and prevent further incidents.
04 Is this different from obedience training?
Yes. Behaviour consults address emotional drivers such as fear, anxiety, frustration and guarding. This is behaviour modification work — not basic commands or general manners training.
05 Will my dog need medication?
Some severe anxiety or aggression cases benefit from collaboration with a veterinary behaviourist. If appropriate, I will discuss this with you. Behaviour modification and medical support should work together for optimal results.
06 Do you offer support between sessions?
Yes. Behaviour change requires consistency. Follow-ups and guidance ensure you’re supported as situations arise and progress develops.
07 How long does behaviour change take?
There is no instant fix for complex behaviour. Some improvements (like management strategies) can happen quickly. Long-term change depends on severity, consistency and environment.
08 Can behaviour problems be completely “fixed”?
Some cases resolve fully. Others are managed long-term. Where necessary, we may work with a veterinary behaviourist to ensure that your dog is getting the right level of care that they require. The goal is always increased safety, reduced stress, and greater predictability — not unrealistic guarantees.
09 Is my dog “too old” to change?
No. Dogs of all ages can improve with structured behaviour work. Progress depends more on consistency than age.
