Laura McAlduff,
Certified Professional Pet Dog Trainer
Dip. ABST, Associate Certified member of the IAABC
​Animal Kind Accredited
​Family Dog Mediator Certified

Laura McAlduff is a dog behaviour coach and family dog mediator. That means that she specializes in helping guardians and their dogs live more harmoniously and safely using a combination of education, behaviour training and environmental management. Since beginning her journey into the world of pet dog training in 2015, Laura has been constant in her search for knowledge and high standards of education in dog behaviour science (see education on left column). She has experience working with dogs of all breeds, types, ages and sizes. She believes that compassion and understanding lie at the root of working with companion animals, and that the most important thing is to set realistic goals and timelines. Bad dogs and good dogs are in the eye of the beholder. What, exactly, is a bad dog, she wonders, if not the product of society's constantly changing standards?

Laura lives with her own two "bad dogs" in Squamish, British Columbia.
