Lauren was fantastic with our little Dachshund. He was having problems barking at other dogs in the street and not being able to focus. Also barking at home when he wasn’t the centre of attention or when the doorbell went. Lauren’s sessions were very focused on methods to make him more attentive towards us when walking and keeping him calmer when near other dogs. Over the course he has improved so much. It is much easier to walk him now with the techniques we have learned. He is also a lot better behaved at home and his anxiety has reduced so much. Would definitely recommend booking if you have any training or behavioural concerns about your dog.
I started having private training sessions with Lauren after a recommendation from a friend, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made! I'm starting to understand my dog much better, and the sessions are really helping with my confidence as a first-time solo dog owner. Lauren is very kind and patient with me and provides a ton of helpful resources to continue our training journey outside of our training sessions. I can't recommend Focus Dog Training highly enough!
Lauren has been a huge help with my dog Marley and his reactivity training. She’s gone above and beyond to help us and set up sessions for us to practice our skills. I’d highly recommend Focus Dog Training to everyone, they’re not only extremely knowledgeable and have a fantastic understanding of dogs, but also lovely people. Marley and I both love every session!
Lauren has really helped us deal with Molly's reactivity. She has taught us some practical activities and management strategies that will hopefully help Molly to feel more comfortable around other dogs. During the training sessions, Lauren was very knowledgeable, and was totally focused and professional at all times. The follow up notes and suggestions were always delivered promptly via WhatsApp. Lauren was happy to respond to queries and anxieties between sessions. A very positive experience, we would certainly recommend Focus Dog Training.
Freddies puppy training course with Lauren was super helpful. Her knowledge was really useful and the content given out each week was an added bonus. His walking on a leash improved straight away, and all the other exercises have helped him get off to a great start to being an obedient and pleasant little pup. Thanks again!
