Professional Dog Trainer · Essex · Est. 2024

Essex's trusted dog trainer. Your dog is waiting for someone who speaks their language. I'm that someone.

I’ve spent over 20 years training dogs - not just as a profession, but as a way of life.

Essex's dog trainer.
She gets it.

Laura is an Essex-based dog trainer with over 20 years of hands-on experience — not in a classroom, but in real life, raising 4 of her own alongside a full Essex family. She started at just 15 years old and has faced every challenge you can imagine.

She knows what it's like when your dog is a source of stress instead of joy. Everything she does is built around changing that, permanently.

Laura's full story →

Sound
familiar?

Most of Laura's clients come to her exhausted. They love their dog - but something isn't working. If any of this sounds like you, you're in the right place.

Let's talk about your dog
01

Walks are a nightmare

Pulling, lunging, barking at everything. What should be the highlight of the day has become something you dread.

02

They just won't listen

Jumping up, ignoring you, destroying things. You've tried everything and nothing sticks.

03

Anxiety or aggression

Your dog reacts in ways that worry or embarrass you. You don't know where to turn.

04

The puppy stage is overwhelming

You love them but had no idea it would be this hard. You need real guidance, not YouTube.

Training that fits
your real life

Every programme is tailored to you, your dog, and your home. No templates - just honest, effective training.

01

Solo Structured Walks

One dog, one trainer, full focus. Laura builds real-world confidence, a solid marker system, and foundations that carry into daily life — including recall, play, and breed-fulfilment activities every session.

02

Group Structured Walks

The natural next step after solo sessions. Dogs practise recall around each other, building stability and neutrality side-by-side in a small, controlled group. Real socialisation, done properly.

03

1:1 Training

Private training at your home, your local area, or wherever the challenges arise. Laura coaches you as well as working with your dog — so results stick beyond the session.

04

Day Train 6 hrs

Laura picks up and drops home. A full day of walking, environmental training, multiple sessions and play — more time, more repetition, more progress.

05

Half Day Train 3 hrs

Laura picks up and drops home. A focused walk in an environment bespoke to your dog's needs, a training session, and a play session — purposeful and efficient.

06

Puppy Foundations

The right start makes everything easier. Built around real-life habits — not just tricks — covering socialisation, crate training, bite inhibition and core commands from the very beginning.

07

Neutrality Walks

Owner-attended guided walks helping your dog develop a calm, balanced mindset. Encouraging peaceful coexistence on walks and in everyday life — finishing with a coffee and debrief.

08

Tollelite Together

Train alongside Laura and her own dogs — great for reactivity, recall drills, and settling. Or join a countryside walk working on neutrality. Existing clients only.

What Laura's clients say

★★★★★

Brilliant service – Laura has been professional and trustworthy with our American XL bully. Highly recommend Tollelite K9 for big breeds and dogs with special recommendations for example muzzled breeds and dogs who hold exemption certificates etc … Her structured walks have been amazing with our dog, who is sensitive to new environments, very impressed with how engaged our Snoop was and the results from his very first structured walk. 10/10 !! Not forgetting how lovely and kind natured Laura is giving me a lot of reassurance to pop into our home feed snoop and take him on his regular toilet trip schedule.

I cannot recommend Laura highly enough, she has been absolutely fantastic with my energetic nut job of a Labrador retriever, Ted. Laura has taken all Ted's training needs on board & has structured his walks accordingly, adapting them as Ted improves & focusing on areas he finds more challenging. Since being with Laura, Ted can now walk calmly alongside other dogs & is happy to jump into her secure van which is something he has struggled with in the past. Laura is kind, patient & attentive, always looking to provide a tailored service that fits your pet best. My Ted adores her; he gets so excited when he sees her knowing he's going on another new adventure. I cannot thank Laura enough; handing Ted's lead over to her is easy, I know he's in the best of hands.

I feel very grateful to have met Laura and to have her by my side with helping with training and walking my dogs who both have anxiety issues. Laura is very friendly and kind and really does care and have a passion for dogs — watching her on one walk so far with my anxious boy was brilliant, the way she handled him and had his attention. She really does have a gift with dogs, a truly kind hearted person.
