Hi, I'm Lauren! 👋
There are quite a few new faces here so I thought I'd reintroduce myself.
I'm the trainer and business owner behind Tidal Tails Dog Training, and this is Dougie, my best bud, hiking partner, demo dog and the ears behind my logo.
I help people build happier, stronger relationships with their dogs using reward-based training. Whether that's teaching loose leash walking, improving recall, navigating adolescence or helping your dog feel more confident, my goal is always the same: make training practical, enjoyable and fun for both ends of the leash!
After starting out as a dog walker, I realized I wanted to help dogs and their people on an even deeper level. That led me to become a multi-certified dog trainer. I hold numerous certifications, including credentials as a Dogma Certified Behaviour Consultant (DCBC), Dogma Dog Trainer (DDT), Fear Free Certified Professional (FFCP-Trainer) and I am a member of the Canadian Association of Professional Dog Trainers (CAPDT). I work with dogs from a wide range of ages and stages using reward-based methods that focus on clear communication, confidence and real-life skills. 💛
Thanks for following along! I'm happy to have you here and hope you pick up some useful tips along the way. 💡
