Dog behaviour support
If you are experiencing problems with your dog in any capacity, I know how tough that can be, and how it can sometimes be even tougher to actually reach out for help.
I am not here to judge, I am here to help. And I will more than likely tell you... it probably isn't your fault!
Talk to me, let's get you out of where you are and closer to where you want to be.

“We have learnt to read his body language and understand his frustration”
"Laura has been a miracle worker with our dog. Our dog has a lot of issues including epilepsy. We came to Laura to help us when walking him as he is not good with other dogs and we couldn't walk past a dog without him barking or going crackers at it! We had a great virtual meet due to covid and Laura started to give us some hints and tips. 10 months later our dog is a different dog. He will always have his issues however we have learnt to read his body language and understand his frustration! We can now walk past a dog without barking which for our dog is a huge achievement! I would recommend Laura to everyone. Me and my partner can't thank her enough for all the work and advice she has put into helping us!"

Behaviour problems can show themselves in many different ways
If your dog is doing something annoying, embarrassing, or worrying, then it is causing a problem for you.
If certain things or situations are annoying or worrying for your dog, then it is also a problem for them.
Regardless of what the problem is, if either of you are impacted by it and you've had enough, it's time to change things and help you both feel better.
Initial behaviour support package** £360*
This package includes:
- A whole-picture assessment with supporting information from your dog's vet and video analysis of any footage you send
- An initial 2 hour consultation at your home or online for me to observe and gather further information
- A structured, bespoke plan to work through together to help you work towards reaching your realistic goals
- 2x 60 minute follow-up sessions to allow us to set a manageable pace
- Detailed reports and supporting information for you to refer back to between sessions and beyond
**If you are wanting help with separation related problems, please see the 'Separation related problems' information below**
Additional follow-up sessions can be booked from £60* per hour.
If you would like me to support you even further, if there are a number of areas to work on that require more time, or if you would prefer to set a much slower pace, additional sessions of up to 60 minutes each can be booked on a pay as you go basis to suit your needs.
If you know you would like more than one additional session, there is a discounted rate if you book 3 sessions at a time:
3x 60 minute sessions = £160* (saving you £20)
**Separation related problems MAY require an alteration to the contents of the package and the option of an add-on package to work through depending on the results of the assessment**
Once we have completed the assessment consultation, if your dog is assessed as having an actual separation related anxiety as the cause of their behaviour when left, the support package will alter slightly.
- The first 60 minute follow up session is swapped for a 5 day separation set-up plan including daily video analysis, feedback and plan creation. This is followed by the remaining 60 minute follow-up session to either discuss how to continue and create the set-up plans on your own, or to choose from the following additional support options:
1 week of further analysis, set-up plans and reviews £140*
or
4x weeks of set-ups and reviews £480*
4 weeks of video analysis, plan creation, 3x mini 20 minute check-ins, 1x 30 minute follow-up call at the end and support to take over this process yourself to reach your realistic goal.
You can book as many additional packages as you need to be supported how you want to be for as long as you need it.
"I cannot thank Laura enough for transforming ours and more importantly our dog's life."
"I first noticed in Feb 2025 that my 4 year old Border Terrier was having issues with random noises, in particular bird scarers, gun shots and pheasants. A visit to the vet ruled out any physical issues and the vet suggested that a behaviourist would be able to help and recommended two behaviourists in the Lincoln area. Luckily one of them was Laura at Juvo Animal Behaviour. We had a history with Laura as our first Border Terrier attended her puppy classes 7 years ago and is now a well rounded adult, so it was a no brainer that we would get in touch with Laura for help.
Following an in depth assessment of the problems, we have been working with Laura for the last 7 months and the results have been amazing. Laura took us through 3 stages explaining everything clearly and concisely. We have had a couple of hiccups on the way and Laura has always been on hand with helpful advice and encouragement.
I cannot thank Laura enough for transforming ours and more importantly our dog's life. We can now confidently go forward with the knowledge we have learned.
Laura, you are amazing. Thank you."

How does it work?
01
Reach out to me
Get in touch to let me know what you would like support with and ask me any questions you may have about the process.
You will receive a questionnaire to complete about your dog, a referral form for your dog's vet to complete, and further information about working with me. We will arrange a suitable date to book your dog's behaviour consultation and this date will be confirmed once I have received your completed forms and payment.
02
Consultation
We will have your dog's behaviour consultation either at your home or online which usually lasts about 2 hours. I will ask you some questions and observe, then make an assessment of what I believe is happening. Then we will discuss the best way forward for everyone and begin to implement the first stage of your bespoke action plan.
03
Reports
You and your dog's vet will receive a detailed written report to cover my assessment, and give you a written step-by-step guide to refer back to as you begin to implement your plan.
(Additional notes will be provided after follow-up sessions whenever new information has been discussed).
04
Follow-ups
You will have two follow-up sessions of up to 60 minutes** included which will allow me to see how the plan is working, add in the next stages if ready, and problem solve anything that hasn't quite gone to plan. Additional follow ups can then be arranged according to your needs.
“You have given me the confidence to deal with issues as they arise.”
"It has been an absolute pleasure working with you. You have taught me so much with both Diesel and Tiger. I notice body language and cues much quicker and you have given me the confidence to deal with issues as they arise. I will always be grateful for your advice and support."

Why vet referral?
Health and behaviour can often be closely linked, so it is important to have your vet on board to ensure we are covering all bases when understanding what is happening for your dog.
Once requested, your vet will complete a referral form and send me a copy of your dog's medical history. Throughout our working relationship I will update your vet on our progress and should anything health related arise, we can all work together to give you and your dog the best support.
“We have been listened to and guided, without feeling patronised to navigate through this unexpected journey and most importantly reassured."
"We can highly recommend Laura. We have been working with her for about a year. Our pup had a traumatic experience with fireworks that completely transformed his personality. He would refuse to go out on walks, turned reactive, hiding under the stairs shaking and drooling etc, we phrase it as he became scared of life. We needed some expert support and after extensive research we decided to go with Laura. She has guided us every step of the way with tips and strategies which has helped us to gain our dog back and begin enjoying our lives. It has been a rollercoaster of set backs and progress and we are not there yet but Laura's expertise has guided us to feel more comfortable and confident with how to handle and help our pooch. We have been listened to and guided, without feeling patronised to navigate through this unexpected journey and most importantly reassured."
