Read what Laura says
Your dog's behaviour is not your fault. Behaviour is complex and multifaceted, rooted in health, genetics and past experiences. I am a dog mum myself and I have had lots of dogs with emotional issues, so I know how tough it can be. We look at the whole dog together and come up with a plan that benefits you both.
Start where you are
Good support begins with listening.
Green Dogs is a place where you can talk openly about your dog without judgement. Behaviour is complicated, and genetics, health and everything a dog has already lived through all play their part.
I bring 27 years in the industry to help you read the behaviour in front of you and find clear, humane next steps. There is a way forward, and we work it out together.

Modern, welfare-led training that works with your dog, never against them.
