💜 Dogs,Cats & Horses. Training Pro

Pet care experience

Very active dog walker and cat snuggler with 15 years of horse and farm management experience. Love to take pets with me on runs, hikes, and rides if that is up their alley and many of my clients not only have dogs and cats but also horses, goats, chickens, pigs, donkeys, geese, and more! Part-time K9 unit trainer prior to taking a corporate job here in AL. Expert with high-energy herding/working breeds but love all canines and felines equally. Very trustworthy and clean, no smoking, no substance use. Large SUV to accommodate pups and kittehs of all sizes. Willing to travel anywhere in Huntsville. Available most any time of day, happy to extend walks to cater to a dog's individual needs. Extensive veterinary experience with a willingness to administer medications and react quickly and capably in any emergency situation. Very responsible pet handler with extensive experience in outdoor and high stress situations. Available by phone at all times.

Always a great dog walker! Good at training and gives great feedback and tips. Zelda's behavior has improved after just two walks. Will be using Lauren again too.

Lauren was great with Zelda! She took her on a nice long walk and even helped me identify some behavioral issues. She gave me some tips and pointers on what I can do to try and help train Zelda a bit more. Highly recommend Lauren!

Safety, trust & environment

I don't often accept pets into my home but I do ensure that all pets in my car are secured and carefully monitored during all interactions. This includes properly fitting collars and harnesses, obedience when near traffic or other people/animals, etc.

Information Lauren N. would like to know about your pet

I really enjoy high-energy animals and several of my clients employee me specifically to help build confidence in their dogs that may be very timid of even somewhat aggressive due to lack of self-confidence.

A typical day

I live near the hiking trails in Huntsville and many of my pets go on walks with me on the trails and enjoy playing in the creeks, rock hopping, and sniffing along game trails. For kitties, I find that a surprisingly high number enjoy fetching and even if they just enjoy pets or quiet company, I love them just the same.
