Hi there, my name is Lauren and I am a full member of the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers and I am fully insured. This is my personal business page, but you can also find me at K9 Kindergarten, where I am the designated behaviourist. I offer a range of group classes for all different ages, sizes, breeds, as well as workshops and specific courses such as tracking, flyball and Recall. I also offer

private consultations and 1to1 training sessions to work on specific behavioural problems such as aggression, seperation anxiety, recall etc.

More puppy graduates!!

Frankie, Percy, Marnie, Didi and Milo (not pictured) graduated puppy class today!

They’ve had a lovely 6 weeks practising key behaviours and I’ve seen so much improvement since week 1. Fan engagement, lovely handler skills and everyone’s had lots of fun.

Hopefully we’ll be seeing these little furry faces in our puppy club and foundation next year - well done gang! - Lou 🐾

Our trick class gang absolutely smashed it last night, graduating their level 3 course (taught by ’s mum, Steph)

Dolly, Luci, Daisy and Trouble have had so much fun over the 6 weeks and have learnt tricks like “tidy your toys”, “lick your lips” and “double high five!”.

We can’t wait to see you at our Christmas trick club ⭐️🐾

My wonderful first puppy group graduated today!

We have had such a fun 6 weeks learning some key skills and it’s been absolutely lovely watching this little group trot in tiny on week 1 and trot out big and fluffy on week 6!

Well done to George, Loki, Maisie, Scramble and fluffy Loki (who couldn’t make it today). You have been the best! - Lou

Happy Halloween 🎃👻 ......... What I'm doing this evening ⬇️

👻
👻

Originally I had planned to take part in the festivities with teaching Bucky a Trick to display at the door ! He is super social and loves people/kids and he has great threshold training with the front door. I thought it would be cute and fun, HOWEVER the last few weeks have seen his door reactivity amp up to the next level and he now gets himself a bit stressed with over excitement when someone is at our door. He even barks if he thinks he hears someone out the door! This has all escalated since the fox in the back garden has been more bold 🦊

So instead we are going to play some soothing music, have our dinner on a licki mat and shut the internal doors leading towards the front of house. We have no decorations or pumpkins outside either. Not the Halloween I envisioned but I'll settle for a scary movie to watch tonight instead .......any suggestions???

Well done to our first ever Norton based trackers - we dealt with a freak hail and thunder storm ⛈️, more bad weather and dark nights, but what a fab class you were!

We smashed a final group track of 400m 🐾🙌

When is the environment too stimulating?

Today I had a lovely session with Nora who can easily become overwhelmed on a walk.

⭐ What does this look like?
🐾 Pulling hard on the lead
🐾 Fixation on people or dogs
🐾 Seemingly deaf to your cues
🐾 Not interested in treats

What you may think is "stubborn" behavior could actually be overwhelm. One key piece of advice I give out in these situations is this:

"Take pause points during your walk so your dogs can adjust and process what they're taking in"

My (Lou’s) first puppy class - and I’m not sure how Heather teaches puppies every week without ending up with 10 puppies herself - I want to take them all home!

What a fantastic little tracking gang! Lou’s level 1 group graduated this morning with flying colours, finishing the session with a 400m group track!

And not only have they been amazing trackers, Ted and Daisy (pictures 1 and 3) are two of our reactivity clients and have been relaxed, calm and happy to work in the group with absolutely no issues.

Well done gang!
