Hello, I'm Lauren, owner of Lead the way dog training

Why Train With Me?

I’m an APDT accredited dog trainer, using ethical, effective methods backed by science, never fear, force, or intimidation. I help owners build better communication and understanding with their dogs. When we learn to recognise what behaviour is telling us, training becomes clearer, calmer and more rewarding for both dog and owner.

I work with dogs and owners who want to build strong training and better everyday habits. Training should be enjoyable for both ends of the leads and effective and that's what I focus on. I don't use quick fixes to see instant short term results, instead look at long term effective training that will help strengthen your bond.

I believe:

Dogs learn best when they feel safe and encouraged
Clear communication creates calm, reliable habits
Consistency and small steps lead to lasting progress
Training should strengthen your bond, not damage it
Training should be fun for both ends of the lead

What It’s Like to Work With Me

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all training. Every dog is different, and every family is different. Your sessions are always tailored to your dog’s needs, your lifestyle, and your goals.

Working with me is calm, supportive, and focused on real-life training you can actually use. You won’t be judged, rushed, or made to feel like you’re doing things wrong. Instead, you’ll get clear, practical guidance and simple steps that fit into your daily routine.

Each session is:
