About Lauren
Dogs are for life.
I'm Lauren, dedicated to helping you and your hero dog build confidence, connection and joy through tailored, kind training.
My Reward based approach
My dog is my Hero,
is yours?
I’m Lauren, the South African farm girl, who has travelled the world, from pro swimmer, scuba diving instructor to turned dog trainer who never settles for “good enough.” Raising Boerboels on the farm and living with my dogs ,my whole life. Certified in 2025, and continuing my IMDT journey in 2026, I’m here to help you and your dog thrive. I teach connection, not commands and when you work with me, you’re supported for life.
I got my Puppy Luna, who made me invest into Ja Dog as she became my Hero and saved me from burn out. I want to shout out to the world about your dogs. Give them a voice, how has your dog been your hero? Share your story with Ja dog on Instagram!
I Tailor to your dog
No two dogs are the same every plan is built around your goals, your home, and your dog's personality.
Force-free, evidence-based
Modern, reward based training that builds genuine confidence not compliance through fear.
Real life results
We train where it matters: in your home, on the school run, in cafes, and out on the common.
