Hi, I’m Laura
BSc., B.A., Grad Ed., Psych Yale., Grad Psych Monash., NDTF.
My job is to help people help dogs. As a canine behaviourist I am privileged to help dogs live the best life possible, all through empowering people to train their dogs properly. It's simple, effective, and boy, is it powerful to see!
Pictured next to me is my beloved rescue dog Alma. She came to me from a wonderful rescue group who gave Alma a second chance.
​
Alma had been severely neglected. She was a breeding dog until her body was no longer able to conceive and give birth, to which she was discarded like rubbish and surrendered to the local pound. There, carers discovered the cruelty she had endured for years, with chronic joint pain, allergies, ear tumours, and dog reactivity. Alma has since had her ear canals removed, and is on medical therapies for her other ailments. She now works with me as a therapy dog for both dogs and humans.
​
Despite her indisputable turmoil, Alma remains the most optimistic, loving and accepting animal I have ever met. I dedicated my third book THE RESCUE DOG to her, for she is one of my biggest inspirations, and I am eternally grateful for her daily teachings on life.
