Animal Behaviorist for Pet Parents!

I have a PhD in Animal Behavior from Oregon State University; my dissertation explored pet parenting practices, so I know how much your pets mean to you and the standard of care that is important to pet parents like yourself. My specialty is pet behavior, and I have extensive experience working with all species of animals but I'm most comfortable with dogs, cats, and horses, both in husbandry and training. I worked as a vet tech prior to grad school and can provide any basic medical care or emergency first aid if needed. I grew up around animals, and I have a dog, cat, and horse of my own - I'll treat your fur babies as my own, and they'll get the best care and exercise around!

Lauren was awesome!! After adopting our newest pack member, my fiancé and I were nervous about leaving the dogs crated all day. Lauren did a pre-check of the yard to ward off squirrels, and let the dogs go potty without any issues! We are so relieved to have a reliable human to check on our doggos while we work all day. She even got our new guy, Memphis, into his crate without too much coaxing!!

Lauren has provided excellent care for my dog on multiple occasions. She always updates us when she’s taking care of our dog, and our dog is always happy to see her. She great with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, and has an excellent background in behavior and positive reinforcement training.

Lauren grew up with dogs, cats, and horses. Her love of animals led her to pursue higher education degrees in animal science, with an emphasis in animal behavior. She is an excellent trainer and caretaker with an almost innate sense of the needs of four-legged family members. I know she would take excellent care of any animal entrusted to her. I would recommend her without reservation.

Lauren has been extremely helpful with my Border Collie puppy. She has helped teach me tips and tricks to speed up training, teach her tricks and encourage good behavior. She has watched my dogs mutliple times and they always come back happy, tired from play time and sometimes even have a new trick they were taught. I would highly recommend Lauren for any type of Animal Care and even refer to her as the animal whisperer!!

Lauren is a highly skilled animal trainer, caregiver, and animal lover. She has spent many years studying animals at an advanced higher education level, including publishing research on the best training methods employed in training dogs. Her personal horse is trained using classic dressage and Parelli horsemanship methods. Methods which emphasize the long term health of the horse and the relationship with their human partner. Lauren has also spent time studying wolves and their behavior!! Ask to see her pictures. Employing Lauren to care for, or assist in training ones animals (and humans) is money very well spent, she is a remarkable animal behaviorist.
