Hi I’m Laura, the founder of Tiny Tails Dog Training Chester.

Dogs have always been at the heart of my life, and my journey has been shaped by the incredible dogs who have supported and inspired me along the way.

I’ve completed a wide range of professional qualifications in dog training, behaviour, nutrition, and holistic care, and I’m passionate about helping owners build calm, happy relationships with their dogs.

Tiny Tails was created to offer kind, supportive training where every dog — and every owner — feels understood

My Story – The Dogs Who Started It All

Tiny Tails Dog Training Chester was inspired by three extraordinary dogs who shaped my life and my journey into canine behaviour and wellbeing — Darcy, Sarge, and Froeby.

Darcy was my very first guide dog and my greatest teacher. A loyal and gentle black Labrador she guided me through some of the most important years of my life and showed me what true partnership, trust, and unconditional love really mean. Darcy lived to the wonderful age of 15½ years and passed away in June 2024, leaving behind a legacy that continues to influence everything I do. She was the beginning of it all — the dog who opened my eyes to just how deeply dogs support us, emotionally as well as practically.

Sarge, a calm and affectionate yellow Labrador Retriever, and Froeby, a thoughtful and steady black Labrador Retriever, both spent their working lives helping others navigate the world with confidence and independence. When they retired, they brought those same qualities into everyday life — patience, resilience, and an incredible ability to connect.
Living alongside Darcy, Sarge, and Froeby gave me a deep appreciation for how dogs communicate, learn, and thrive when their emotional and physical needs are truly understood. They taught me that training isn’t about control or quick fixes — it’s about listening, building trust, and supporting each dog as an individual.

Watching these remarkable dogs transition through working life, retirement, and in Darcy’s case, a long and loved life well lived, inspired my passion for canine behaviour, holistic care, and education. I became determined to help other dogs and owners experience the same harmony, confidence, and understanding that these dogs gave to me.
Today, that inspiration lives at the heart of Tiny Tails Dog Training Chester. My approach is calm, kind, and holistic, focusing on positive reinforcement, emotional wellbeing, and building strong foundations that last a lifetime.
Darcy’s legacy lives on, and alongside Sarge and Froeby, their influence is present in every puppy I support, every owner I guide, and every tiny tail that learns big skills 💚

💛 In Loving Memory of Darcy 💛

Darcy lived an incredible life and passed away peacefully in June 2024 at the wonderful age of 15½ years. She taught me more than any book or course ever could — about partnership, resilience, unconditional love, and how deeply dogs understand us.
Her legacy lives on in my holistic, positive approach to training and wellbeing, and she continues to guide me in everything I do, even now.

These three dogs are the soul of Tiny Tails Dog Training Chester 🐶
Their lessons live on in every puppy I support, every owner I guide, and every tiny tail that learns big skills ✨
