Ditch the Rigid Routines – Let’s Make Training Fun
Hi, I’m Laura! I’m a dog trainer and coach with a passion for all things scent & behaviour. Since 2013, I’ve been helping dogs and their humans through Walkies Dog Walking and Sniffer Paws NI, bringing expert care and training to the North West.
​
My mission? To help dogs and their humans understand each other better, so they can live together harmoniously (and actually enjoy it!).
​
Based in Coleraine, I offer dog training and walking services across the North West, including Portrush, Derry/Londonderry, Donegal, Ballymena, and beyond.
​
Whether you’re dealing with a mischievous pup, a hyper hound, or a dog who just needs to find their thing, I’m here to guide you. Don't just take my word for it, here's what clients have to say about our work together:
I'm so glad Laura introduced us to scent work. My 2 dogs, a springer and a pug love it. Its fun for both humans and doggies alike. Laura is truly well educated on scent work and is always there to provide useful tips to enhance your dogs skills. Classes are always fun too. I'd highly recommend this for any kind of dog. Shy, reactive or hyper (like mine!) will absolutely benefit from taking part.

Apart from resolving Norman’s SA issues your flexibility with timings has been so beneficial. You adapted to him & me & persisted with different suggestions to help support us both. Using Zoom was fabulous too as it didn't bring someone else into the house which would have impacted on his learning (negatively I feel). I now can leave him without worrying about him hurting himself (or destroying my house/possessions), and he is relaxed & happy again, for which I am eternally grateful.

We had the most amazing morning learning this sport with Laura. Skye and I enjoyed the work and fun. Thank you, Laura, for helping us learn Mantrailing, and we look forward to new trails in the future. You made the induction educational, fun, and exciting, so thank you. From hyper pup to sleepy pup. Amazing.

Does your dog destroy your house or bark/annoy your neighbours?
Are walks a bit of an upper body workout?
Seagulls and squirrels more interesting than your gravy bones? (other treats available!)
Can't find the off switch for your hyper pup??
