Welcome to L.A.P Dog Development

My story

Hi my name’s Lauren :)

My animal experience started when I was 15 at a local Donkey shelter. I volunteered my time to help muck up, groom, feed and introduce the donkeys to visitors.
Since then, I have spent time at the RSPCA with domestic pets and wildlife, overseas in South Africa on a game drive and in Borneo, Malaysia with Orang-utans and Sunbears. I was a zookeeper at Taronga Zoo, Sydney and I have worked at a local Doggy Day care. I now offer private dog walks and training in the local area.
I have grown up with dogs and I have always found animal behaviour very interesting. I’m aiming to combine both my love for our four-legged friends and my knowledge of animal training to help anyone who needs a little extra assistance when it comes to giving their fur baby the best life they can have!

I have completed the NDTF course and am now a nationally certified dog trainer. I’m also a new mum to both a human baby daughter, Harper and a fur baby daughter, Zuri. You may meet them along the way as both are very friendly and playful and LOVE other dogs.

I love being outdoors and active so whether it’s raining or sunshine, if your dog is needing to learn some positive obedience or simply needs a little more exercise in its life, please reach out and let me help you :)

Let’s learn, adapt and play together!!
