As a Family Dog Mediator, Lauren utilizes current, scientifically accurate information that analyzes dog behavior from an ethological perspective.  

All coaching, guidance, and training methods are produced using the Dog L.E.G.S.® model as the foundation. L.E.G.S.® stands for Learning, Environment, Genetics, Self. The L.E.G.S.® model is a revolutionary method created by applied ethologist, Kim Brophey, that provides a comprehensive, science-based lens for analyzing and interpreting dog behavior.  

Lauren has spent hundreds of hours observing and training a wide variety of dogs while working at one of the largest dog daycare facilities in the Midwest. During her time at this facility, she worked as a manager, lead dog handler, behavioral evaluator, and enrichment specialist.  

She also spent time volunteering for a local dog rescue organization as the lead behavior consultant and foster mom. This rescue focused on rescuing and rehabilitating pit bull type dogs, solidifying her love and compassion for bully breeds.
