Hello, I'm Lauren

I’m Lauren, the trainer and founder behind Maple Tree Dog Training. My work is rooted in helping dogs and their humans build calm, trusting, and joyful partnerships. Before stepping into the dog‑training world, I supported individuals with additional needs and autism, experience that taught me patience, clear communication, and a deep respect for individual learning styles. These values shape every session I run.

​

I continue to grow my skills through ongoing professional development, and having supported my own behavioural dog, I understand how overwhelming challenges can feel. That lived experience fuels my commitment to personalised, evidence‑based training that meets each dog exactly where they are.

​

I have a particular soft spot for adolescent dogs... their energy, curiosity, and occasional chaos make them wonderfully rewarding to work with. My focus is on building confidence, impulse control, and real‑life skills through kind, engaging training tailored to each dog’s personality.

Dogs are at the heart of what I do, but I’ve shared my life with cats for as long as I can remember, and they’ll always have a special place in my world. As a DBS‑checked, fully insured, and Canine First Aid‑trained professional, I ensure every session is safe, ethical, and designed to create lasting, meaningful progress.
