We found Laura through a Google search. We had adopted/rescued Millie a few days beforehand and things weren't going well. After just the first intensive session we felt a lot more confident about what we had got ourselves into and there were lots of quick wins that put us on the right track. Laura has been available to us when needed since then. Three months later and Millie is a well balanced young lady who draws complements from lots of other dog walkers for the composure she spreads to other dogs she meets.

Laura is incredibly experienced and comes highly recommended. She is obviously at the cutting edge of her profession and it’s fantastic to work with someone with so much knowledge. And most importantly she obviously loves dogs - and that shines through all her work.

Laura is an excellent dog trainer and behaviourist. She helped with our sometimes bonkers Welsh terrier and her recommendation for using a flirt pole was spot on for using up his excess energy. I would strongly recommend her to any dog owner.

My partner and I have had the privilege of working with Laura to help us understand how our puppy is feeling and reducing her day to day anxious triggers. Currently we are working on stopping her from barking at the doorbell and being less nervous of new people! Laura has fantastic insight and techniques to help with lots of different behaviours and after just a couple of sessions we are looking forward to learning more!

We had the pleasure of working with Laura recently as she was helping us with a very nervous German shepherd, Laura really helped us understand our dog and what she needed and honestly really educated us in dog behaviour. Laura's advice was honest and direct, she will not always tell you what you want to hear but she will tell you what you need to hear and we thank her for that. Definitely recommend

We were so lucky to have Laura recommended to us. Within minutes of meeting her, I knew we - as well as our dog - were in safe and exceedingly competent hands. It’s early days for us, but already we’ve made huge progress with our extremely anxious pooch and are reaping the rewards. Laura is teaching us all a lot, and that’s giving us all confidence, and we’re developing an even deeper bond with our dog in the process. Not just that, Laura is a lot of fun, and we look forward to our sessions with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laura to any dog - or owner - who needs her.

Laura is a rare find. She knows how to achieve results and doesn't take short cuts for quick fixes that you may experience elsewhere. She's in it to help for longterm results and positive experiences for both the dog and the owner. With the most genuine approach and interpersonal skills, she communicates with kindness and compassion and has a love for dogs and all animals that is rarely seen.

I have a terrier that I had been really struggling with. I couldn't understand how I could make his world better for him. I took him to meet Laura on a recommendation as I wanted someone kind and knowledgeable to help me unpack some of his anxious behaviors. Laura clearly has a lot of experience and is very intuitive to the dogs needs. She described what she was seeing and we tried some games/training exercises with him that we could continue practicing at home. These were aimed at meeting his need to hunt and ease his frustration at not being able to. Its nearly one year on but today we've had our first off lead walk ever and it was amazing seeing his happy face as he darted in and out of bushes smelling the scent of creatures. My worst fears of him running off forever were not realised and he's now fast asleep, content in the sun in the garden. Thanks Laura for your support, for knowing where we needed to get to and helping me work out how. I 100% recommend you for your knowledge, kindness and support.

My dog Samson has found his new best friend in Laura. He absolutely adores her and has the best time on their walks together. Laura’s knowledge and experience have been amazing for Samson. With Samson being a nervous dog, Laura truly understands him and ensures he is comfortable and happy. His happiness and well-being are her top priority.

Laura is brilliant. Decompression walks were recommended and initially I wasn’t sure what they were and why they would be beneficial for my dog Nora. I’m a convert! We’re already seeing a difference in Nora’s behaviour and levels of calmness at home. The walks are mostly off-lead (didn’t think that would ever be possible outside a fenced dog field) and are clearly meeting a fundamental need in Nora, allowing her to have autonomy, freedom, run, be curious, smell, dig, wade in streams, and just be a dog! She has a wonderful time. The benefits to us, her owners, are profound too - we can move around the house more, there is much less barking, she is a calmer, happier dog. She is sleeping better and her on-lead walks are much more about sniffing and exploring than the constant pulling. I couldn’t recommend Laura more, or the decompression walks. It really works!

Laura’s worked with my both my dogs and she’s brilliant! She’s so in tune with them and is able to identify and observe things we couldn’t, and helped us come up with a plan of action. She worked with my dachshund last year who now gets compliments on how well behaved she is🥹 100% recommend!!! x

Laura has been an absolute delight (as Dug would agree, who would probably choose to go home with her after a training session if given the choice!). She has helped us with our very energetic goldendoodle, who is now less bitey, more focused, enjoying his walks (and so are we!) and feeling very confident about everything. All of her advice had instant impact and you can literally see improvements less than 24h after a new thing is taught. Laura actually interacts with your dog, explains the science and / or logic behind the method, and observes you applying it. She gives very practical advice based on your own situation, needs and dog, and not general things you can find online (and then wonder why they're not working!). We are very happy with the training we've done so far and feel like our puppy is flourishing because of it. Thank you!

Laura at Green dogs was super approachable when I contacted her on how to manage a bouncy, barky 3 month old puppy. She was great with training and socialisation on regular country walks and Santi and I have both grown in confidence. Santi has just grown and grown in height/weight too (now 8 months), but we've survived the first part of puppy hood - largely thanks to Laura. She puts the dog first and helped me be less worried about his minor misdemeanours while he's still just a growing boy. Needless to say he loves her to bits. It's the hightlight of his week going out with Laura and other dogs.

Watching Laura work is amazing - the best recommendation for me is that my dog is super relaxed around her and absolutely loves her. She puts the dog first in everything she does and it really shows. She’ll have my dog doing things I’ve struggled for months to get him to do in a few minutes! I never thought he’d be able to leave a piece of food alone, or not chase someone down the road while we’re out walking, but not only can Laura show you these things are completely possible, she’ll explain how you can do it in a really clear and understandable way so you go away with the confidence to try it once you’re home. She knows an incredible amount and it’s really interesting to me to know not just what to do, but why we’re doing it

You could not hope to meet a more knowledgeable dog behaviourist! We have known Laura since before Obi, our beloved dog, arrived. Over the past year, she has supported us to understand what he needs, and why he behaves in the way that he does. Laura is so knowledgeable, modest, thoughtful and kind, and she absolutely has each dogs best interests as her number one priority. She has balanced this also with what we need as a family. Obi is a very valued family member, and I would not have felt happy trusting anyone else to care for him. Laura has supported us with training strategies, looked after Obi so we could go away, and supported Obi to be groomed when he developed anxiety about this during adolescence. Obi's groom was really calm, with him having no restraint, being relaxed and with his consent. Obi absolutely adores Laura, which for me is a real testament to her as a professional and also as a person.

Compassionate, knowledgeable and kind. Knowledge of dog behaviour is extensive as is Laura's practical experience. It's safe to say that Green dogs only uses kind methods in her training and will only do the best for you and your dog. When you need help with your dog this is the person to speak to. I've learnt so much from Laura.

Laura was recommended to us by another dog trainer due to her extensive experience with very nervous dogs. We are so pleased to have been introduced to her—it has truly transformed our dog for the better. She sets realistic expectations and takes the time to fully understand our dog, getting to know him deeply and seeing his true colors. This has given her a better picture of what we're struggling with. Although we haven't reached our final goal yet, even with simple methods, our super-nervous collie is starting to feel more relaxed in day-to-day life and recovers much faster from tricky situations during walks. We are very happy to have found Laura and to be able to work with her.

Laura has been absolutely amazing. We tried to get help for our Alfie for over 2 years then in desperation I contacted Laura. The first time we met her she asked lots of questions and really listened to what we said. Before Laura helped us Alfie was almost impossible to live with, very nervous and reactive. We couldn’t have visitors to house or take him anywhere public. It caused us so much stress and anxiety that we had considered giving him up. With Laura’s help and advice we have changed vets to a far more understanding and caring practice who have been marvellous. Because of Laura’s understanding of Alfie’s condition we are now able to have people over and Alfie is so much calmer and happier. He’s more chilled out and stopped a lot of his possessiveness for objects, food and me. The change in Alfie has made a huge difference to our lives and we are very grateful to Laura for her caring and understanding. She’s not at all pushy and it is more than evident that her motivation is the dog’s wellbeing above anything else. Cannot recommend her highly enough.

Being in the canine industry myself (canine chiropractor) I hit a point with my training with my Young (1.5 Year), dogs training where the teenager stage meant inconsistency, and several dog attacks, lead to fear aggression to male dogs. It was at this point, I knew I needed help from someone more qualified than myself. I was absolutely blown over by my first consultation and even telephone call to check eligibility. My pup and I were given amazing respect and clear guidance of what to expect. She knew within what felt like seconds. My dogs main trouble was frustration and provided instant guidance for how to fix this. I was given amazing time guidelines that this basic training would take weeks and progression from this could not take place until 80% reliability in training method was achieved. I have recommended to many people since. And for me to recommend, I have to truly believe as being in the industry it is my reputation on the line too

About 5 years ago, I was lucky to be recommended to contact Laura at Green Dogs. Freya, Golden Retriever, during early adolescence started to show among other challenges, frustration and separation issues. Laura helped me consider Freya's early learning experiences, her needs, beyond regular exercise, and her likes and dislikes. Over time, thanks to guidance and support from Laura Freya's worries have eased. Laura's experience and values made a big difference to both our lives. We now have an additional canine companion, and Freya has been fantastic with her. I consider myself fortunate to now be friends with Laura too, and to occasionally be able to discuss dogs I work with for foundation training, in confidence, and know that I will get worthwhile and knowledgeable feedback. Laura has made a positive change to mine and Freya's life, and to my work. Photos Freya, then, and now

I don’t know where to begin, Laura has been an absolute life savour for my boys. There is no one else I could trust as much as Laura when it comes to really understanding what it is that they need and their behaviour. Laura is passionate, patient and puts her all into caring for her pup crew (and spoils them!). Her incredible knowledge, soft spot for the more “complicated” dogs and the way she cares for the dogs she looks after is invaluable. I honestly couldn’t recommend Greendogs highly enough!

I reached out to Laura with concerns about my dad’s dog’s anxiety. Laura was quick to give my dad a call, spent half hour talking to him and explaining his dog’s behaviours and, do’s and dont’s. Laura said training isn’t needed and wouldn’t even take any money for the time spent on the phone call helping my dad. She also went on to send relevant information and videos to my dad to look over. Laura is a really genuine person who has a great love dogs and a wealth of knowledge in canine behaviour.

I have been working with Laura for over 5 years now and I can honestly say that she is the best in her industry. She is the only person I would trust with my dog and I know that she always has their best interests at heart. She understands the dog’s needs, emotions, and motivations and how to give them the best life possible, while also helping them to fit into society and the world we live in. She uses positive reinforcement and science-based methods to train dogs without any punishment or coercion. She has decades of experience in the field, having worked for Dogs Trust and more. She is an industry leader and promotes a better way to train dogs that is ethical, effective, and enjoyable for both the dog and the owner. I highly recommend her services to anyone who wants to improve their relationship with their dog and see amazing results. She is not only a great dog behaviourist, but also a wonderful person who cares deeply about animals and people.

We have such a better understanding and relationship with our dog since working with Green dogs. Would highly recommend!

You want Laura on hand if you have a dog. She has been and continues to be an invaluable support who is loved by our anxious boy Buddy and us. Her positive approach to training and building relationship for us to better understand dog behaviour, come at such relief and gives us hope.

I 100% recommend Laura, she goes above and beyond training expectations.

I've known many dog professionals over the years, and literally no-one comes close to Laura's knowledge and empathy. Unceasingly patient and caring, and perhaps most importantly, incredibly honest.

Laura has been working with our little dog, Skinner for over a year and she has been a tremendous help. She is kind, professional and very supportive. Skinner has serious guarding issues and can be very anxious which make him difficult to deal with and sometimes we felt at our wits end. Initially she spent time getting to know him and gave us coping strategies which really made a difference and which we still use. Walking with Laura and other doggy clients has given Skinner confidence with other dogs and he is learning to know his place with them. When he goes to spend time with Laura he rushes into her place without looking back at us and she is very patient with him and understands his behaviour completely. Her kind advice and support has made all the difference to us and we can’t recommend her enough.

We contacted Green Dogs because our dog was fearful, reactive and anxiety ridden. Laura worked with us to understand the factors that motivated our dog’s behaviour. We were able to embark on a plan to reinforce positive outcomes and build Merry’s confidence. Laura was always available to answer questions and give guidance. She was supportive and encouraging especially when we were frustrated by what seemed like a lack of progress. I’m so grateful for Laura’s patience and wisdom. Working with Laura brought us the results we needed. Merry is so much calmer, confident and enjoyable.

Laura is an amazing person. She is kind and very professional. We were having real problems with my anxious, resource guarding dog and didn’t know where to turn when our vet recommended Laura. Laura was very kind and gave us some tools to work with. Her advise gave us confidence and she was willing to work closely with our vet to help us find a solution. Laura has continued to support us even on weekends when we have had some little wobbles with our dog. We are making amazing progress and now have a happier more relaxed dog. Without Laura I am not sure what we would have done but I know we definitely wouldn’t have the happy, settled dog we have at the moment.

We recently contacted Laura Green for help with our newly rescued 4 year old ex breeder German Shepherd. She was very shutdown when we brought her home but all was well for about 3 weeks when out if the blue she started to attack my husband, biting him on two separate occasions. Laura explained to us why this was happening and helped us put in place strategies for keeping my husband safe whilst building trust between them. We know we have a long way to go to heal our dear girl but I'm sure that we'll get there with Laura's expert help. We would highly recommend Laura whose expertise is unquestionable. Thank you Laura.

Laura has been absolutely amazing with our dogs. We have 3 dogs, all with very different needs and characters. She has helped us understand what they need as individuals and how to help them with what they need to be happier and better adjusted.

She has been so supportive and is always at the end of the phone to help you tweek things, remind you of things (I'm terrible for forgetting) and update any plans. I cannot recommend Laura highly enough; if you need support with your dog(s), get in touch with her.

We sought Laura's help after we were using another trainer and our dogs behaviour continued to get worse. After only one session we felt confident in what we needed to do to help our boy, Laura spoke through all our issues without judgement and gave us the positive support we needed. Moving forwards to weeks, even months later and our boy is coming on leaps and bounds and we cannot thank Laura enough for pointing us in the right direction. We send regular videos and messages to Laura about his progress and Laura always replies positively. We just wish we used Laura from the start and we then wouldn't of had to put our boy through a rubbish correctional trainer. As a dog owner you think you are doing the right thing when inviting a trainer into your home, but if you don't use the right one, then things can quickly go from bad to worse. Positive reinforcement training is key, not correctional!

We sought Laura’s help with our 17 month old Vizsla. He was previously a lively confident puppy but had developed a number of behaviour problems (including refusal to leave the house for walks which has meant we have to take him everywhere in the car). The issue which has caused us the most difficulty however was that he went from being very friendly with other dogs to becoming reactive and aggressive with them which made walking him extremely difficult. We are still working with her but so far there has been a considerable improvement in his reactivity. Laura has shown us that this is largely due to frustration and has helped us deal with that which has made walking him so much less stressful. Laura has an amazing abilty to understand what dogs are feeling and to use that to come up with practical solutions. We are very lucky to have her working with us.

We couldn't ask for a better trainer/sitter for our pup Thurlough. As first time dog owners, Laura has guided us through bringing up our dog from behaviour, to diet, to sleeping patterns, especially when all the books and googling has become too overwhelming and confusing! She is clearly one of the best in her field, so we feel so fortunate to have found her. Thurlough loves going to see her and he always come back calmer and well behaved. (last time she took care of our pup, he returned and had completely stopped biting!) On top of that, Laura is warm, personable and 100% reliable. Highly highly recommended.

Laura was highly recommended to us and we know why because she really helped us to work with our puppy to change situations that were causing a lot of stress for us all. She brings a wealth of knowledge and was able to help us put that into practice in ways that made an immediate difference. She is truly dog-focused, basing her advice on understanding your dog's needs and behaviours, helping 'translate' where required. She's really great to have around - we all warmed to her instantly and her confidence really rubbed off on us, making us much better and happier companions for our dog.

It's thanks to Laura we can relax with our dog! We adopted Teddy at 3 years old knowing he had resource guarding but as we got to know him we realised it's a lot worse than we thought, he has anxiety, agressive tenancies, hyper activity, trust issues and just couldn't relax. With Laura's help and knowledge we began to understand his problems and signals better. She worked with us 1:1 finding ways to build trust with Teddy, help Teddy relax, sleep and listen more. She helped us understand him. We felt that she built a personalised programme special to our situation and dog, rather than using general technics any dog handler might know. She continued to support us for a long time afterwards with online support and advice. We'd highly recommend Laura for 1:1 sessions, classes and even grooming as she is both knowledgeable and fair with her techniques and prices.

We needed some advice on how to help our 18 month old Shar pei who is very anxious and has behaviour issues. Laura was really amazing at advising us on lots small changes we could make that have had a huge impact on Lincoln’s behaviour and stress levels. She recommended us to urge our vets to investigate pain which they had originally told us was not there and she advised the vet on the best medication for him to help with pain and anxiety. She was also great at reassuring us that we were doing the right thing not walking him when it goes against what everyone else thinks you should do. We are looking forward to continuing to work with Laura to enrich Lincoln’s home life as much as possible.

We contacted Laura as we were concerned that Mia Jug (Jack Russel x Pug) was suffering with what appeared to be anxiety as well as barking and some behavioural issues that we just couldn’t get to the bottom of. Prior to her visit Laura sent so very useful information and articles for us to read through. Laura spent a couple of hours with us and was absolutely fantastic. She instantly connected with Mia and quickly read the signs that Mia was displaying. She took the time to explain why Mia was behaving the way she was and what we needed to do to help her. We then went for a walk so Laura could see how Mia behaved outside of the home environment. Again Laura picked up instantly the reasons for Mia’s behaviour and mannerisms. Once home again Laura showed us some exercises to do with Mia to help her to deal with her anxiety and other behaviour issues. I cannot recommend Laura enough, not only is she fantastic with Mia, she took plenty of time to explain to us what and why Mia was acting the way she was. Thank you again Laura, you have given us the tools to get our pooch back to her happy self.

Having taken on responsibility for difficult rescue dogs, Laura has been invaluable in giving us the confidence to manage the challenges presented by our two troubled canines. By way of example, one is an ex puppy farm dog who was terrified of everything, unable to take even the shortest walk. Laura has provided us with a much better understanding of what is going on in our dog's mind and given us the tools to manage the behaviour for the benefit of both us and the dog. We really don't know what we would have done without her.

We contacted Laura about our previous dog and the professionalism and advice that was given at that time was unquestionable. We are currently using Laura for our German shepherd puppy who we rehomed at 4 months old. Hes had an awful start and had a serious issue with noise and extremely nervous. Within 5 weeks he has been transformed. He is so confident on walks as a 5 month old puppy he can walk past other dogs and people with no lunging or pulling. And he already has an amazing recall due to one technique we were shown. The confidence in him is credit to her hard work and sound training. Laura promotes positive reward training and it works amazing. Would recommend! And will continue to use her.

We had taken on an exceptionally nervous rescue dog and were dispairing until we discovered Laura. She has honestly turned things around and our once nervous dog is now able to be much more responsive and even enjoy a run around the field. She is much calmer and happier and so are we!

Laura is the most knowledgeable and “up to date” dog trainer I’ve ever known! She has extensive qualifications and is literally like a dog whisperer!! She understands dogs and what they need, and will never use fear to get them to behave. Would highly recommend!!

We first contacted Laura when our puppy was 12 weeks old, from the moment she walked in to our house she instantly started working with Lenny. She listened to our concerns, reassured us, helped us understand how we could help our pup by fixing our behaviour as well as teaching Lenny. We had her return for a session at 20 weeks and start to work on more things with us. Laura is happy to help with progressing training informally over text and has always been on hand to advise when we've had issues in the past. I cant recommend Laura enough and think although expensive in comparison to group lessons we couldn't have gotten to this point with our pup without Laura - worth every penny.

Laura has changed my life with my dogs 100% for the better. We have 3 dogs all of a very similar age and if you read any advice on dogs this is a very stupid thing to do. Laura understands the different needs of all my dogs and is able to tailor their training and activities to fit with them. She has given me the confidence to understand them and not be concerned that they are not all perfect straight away (of course they will be one day!!). She has trained me to train them.

We contacted Laura back at the end of May 2020 when we were completely out of ideas with ways of dealing with our reactive dog. It was to a point the stress of dealing with the dogs was taking its toll on daily life. After meeting with Laura and having a few 1-1 training sessions we are so happy to be on the right track and would recommend Laura to everyone! Thanks for all your hard work so far and we look forward to continuing this journey.

Laura is fantastic. She truly knows dogs and she loves them. Laura is a very experienced and highly professional behaviourist. Please don't confuse this with a dog trainer. Laura understands your dog's behaviours and the underlying issues that cause them. You get what you pay for and if you want an experienced professional don't expect this to come cheap. Laura worked with my aggressive and anxious terrier for 2 years and her advice and assistance was invaluable. It made a huge difference to his behaviour and his overall happiness and welfare. She was able to build a loving relationship with him in a week when no one but his family could go near him. Laura goes above and beyond. She is there to support and advise you when you are at your wits end. You get far more for your money than just the price of the consultation. I can't recommend her enough.

Laura recently visited to groom 2 of my boys and we were delighted with the results! Her vast experience as an animal behaviourist means she has the patience and understanding needed when dealing with a dog that is nervous or unsure. Her approach is so gentle and reassuring, allowing them to feel comfortable and at ease in familiar surroundings. Nothing was too much trouble. Her love of dogs is obvious and they clearly love her! Highly recommended especially if your dog is anxious or has previously had a bad experience while being groomed.

I can't recommend Green Dogs highly enough. Laura did a fantastic job of turning our Rottie cross with nervous aggression into a big loveable lap dog! I can't thank and praise her enough as we've now got the most gorgeous dog in the world!
Laura came to see our dog just over a year ago and her visit has really made a difference to Ally's life. She was able to spot a leg problem which we hadn't noticed. After an operation our dog was able to enjoy her walks and became more calmer towards people and other dogs. Laura's strategies have helped Ally to feel calmer and uninterested when parcels are being delivered to the door. She has even managed to make friends with other dogs and sometimes enjoys a walk with them which has really improved her enjoyment of life. I highly recommend Laura if you need help with dog behaviour issues.
Laura is amazing and I cannot fault her knowledge, support and compassion. would always recommend for anyone having issues with their pooches. Laura's service have been invaluable to us
I can’t recommend laura enough. I didn’t know what to expect when hiring a behaviourist, she was personally recommended to me as I was having issues with my two dogs. Long story short, I had a year old cavapoo and then I introduced a new puppy, both females and they really didn’t get on, fighting a lot etc. She came round, watched them interact and we had a big chat about what life was like for Lyla (my older cavapoo) before I got didi (the poochon puppy) and it was possible that I have unknowingly created an anxiety over food which I never had even thought of! Lyla was able to graze on biscuits whenever she wanted, but unfortunately didi can’t as she was pooing over night so much we had to become strict with their feeding times. Not only was this highlighted, she showed me heaps and heaps of techniques I can use to make them tolerate each other. Dogs are like humans right they won’t always adore each other like you’d want them too. It’s been 3-4 months now, they can eat next to each other again, chew toys in the same room and the fighting has stopped! Our issue was something they wouldn’t be fixed straight away, and she was very honest and I knew once I’d learnt the tools it was down to me. So pleased I contacted her, she’s saved me a lot of agg and made my pups happy in their home enrivonment which is my no1 priority!

I cannot recommend Laura enough - she has been invaluable working with our anxious and reactive ex-street dog. Giving us better insight into her behaviours and helping us work on practical methods of improving her quality of life. Laura's knowledge, experience and dedication is amazing!
Laura is absolutely fantastic! She has given me invaluable advice about how to best help my anxious spaniel and is so knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking help with their dog.
Laura is amazing! I am looking forward to working with her to help my very anxious spaniel. would recommend to anyone 😊
Attended Laura’s talk today on why your dog is not a pet. Brilliant, informative and funny. Laura is great at engaging with her audience and happy to answer any queries you may have. Her love of dogs shines though. Brought away a huge amount of information to put into practice. Thanks Laura.
Laura made me feel so much more positive about my dogs and after only one visit we can see huge improvements. She has given us the tools to carry on with what she has taught us.
