Have you ever met a dog that changed your life? I did. Her name is Poppy, a rescue who turned my world upside down and set me on a career path I’d never anticipated.

I’m Lauren, now a clinical animal behaviourist, and in this episode, I wanted you to get to know me and how I have got to where I am today. I’ll share with you the trials and triumphs of living with Poppy, how our journey together opened my eyes to the complex world of animal behaviour and how I cope with looking after two horses while training my new puppy, Ivy.

I want Fur Real Conversations to be an honest and safe place where pet owners can ask questions, empathise and motivate each other so that together, we can lead the best life possible with your pet.
