Private behaviour consultations and training sessions are available to help you understand and work through any challenges you may be facing with your dog’s behaviour. Puppy classes are now also available for groups of up to 4 puppies.
Only kind, reward-based and force-free methods are used with supportive and compassionate approaches to both the dogs and people that I work with.
Please get in touch to find out how I can help you.
If you are experiencing challenging behaviours with your dog which are causing problems or concern, a behaviour consultation will investigate the cause behind the behaviours to understand the best way to help you move forwards appropriately.
Examples of these behaviours often include:
Unfortunately there is no ‘one size fits all’ method for working through behavioural problems. Often, ‘quick fixes’ simply mask the behaviours rather than treating them which can cause further problems to develop in the process. The original behaviours can then return later on and become more difficult to work through.
Once you have been in touch, I will send you a questionnaire to complete and will request that you contact your vet to authorise your dog’s medical history to be emailed to me so I have a full picture of your dog’s life to work with.
Please get in touch to enquire further or to make your booking.
Private training sessions can be arranged to suit your needs, and can cover specific topics such as:
Please get in touch for more information or if you would like to book a session.

Laura Adkins BSc (Hons) MSc (CAB)
Clinical Animal Behaviourist & Trainer
Juvo Animal Behaviour began in Lincolnshire in 2015 after Laura achieved her Honours degree in Animal Behaviour Science and her Masters degree in Clinical Animal Behaviour. Both degrees were from the University of Lincoln, taught by Daniel Mills and Helen Zulch, two of the country’s leading veterinary behaviourists.
Laura has worked and volunteered with animals for over 10 years through behaviour sessions, training classes, veterinary surgeries, rescue centres, and an assistance dog charity. If there was ever an opportunity to gain some experience, she was there!
Currently, Laura lives in Lincoln with her partner, her one year old son, and her mixed breed elderly rescue dog Rue. Shortly after adopting Rue it was clear that he had some challenging behaviours which led Laura to fully experience the world of reactive dogs which has become a particular area of interest and has inspired some of the services that are available.
Whilst having academic qualifications and a range of experience, education is never ending so she regularly attends workshops, seminars and conferences to keep up to date with the current scientific research in the area. In addition to these, Laura became an accredited Canine Hoopers UK instructor in 2018, and has also achieved her Level 2 qualification in British Sign Language.
Laura promotes kind, force-free, science-based approaches and believes that the key to helping an animal overcome a problem, or learn a new skill is to understand them and their owners as individuals, and build a trusting relationship between them.
