Professional dog trainer

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Lauren and I am a professional dog trainer of 6 years. I own/run Berserker Malinois kennel where we breed KNPV working line Belgian malinois! My passion for animals began when I was 4 years old and I would start bringing in injured animals to rehabilitate into my parents home. ( they were not very happy with baby birds, lizards, cats, dogs, etc in there home 😛) . Before dog training I worked full time with horses where I became a barrel racer. I got severely injured and my interest started with dogs as I was recovering from my injuries. My entire home has been run around caring for my own personal dogs and others pets ❤️. We have 2 rooms dedicated to boarding dogs/training dogs where my partner and I create a structured home for all dogs that come stay with me . I studied dog behavioral signs/nutrition for 3 years on top of mentoring in LA with a professional a dog trainer ( owner of KDT )!

Had the best experience with Lauren taking care of my 1 year old puppy for 5 days while I was on a trip. Miller had the best time and made lots of new friends! I recieved many pictures and updates which made me feel so much more relieved to know that Miller was having a blast. Will definitely be using Lauren again for boarding!

Lauren was great with our energetic Australian Shepherd 1 yo puppy! She is clearly a pro in handling all sorts of dogs and knows what's best of them even when they get sick, get overstimulated or even just taking care of their basic needs. She updated us daily with lots of photos and info, which made us feel at ease of leaving out pup in good and knowledgeable hands! Her house and backyard were equipped for fun and energy release for our Aussie! Will definitely recommend and use her services again!

Lauren never fails to amaze me with her knowledge, skills and hardwork! She truly cares for your furbabies like her own! She was also very flexible on my last minute request with the times and pickup location which I am just so grateful for. Always reliable as expected. Thanks Lauren!
