Hiking Hounds Of Bend!
I created Hiking Hounds of Bend around my passion and love for dogs. Naturally, Bend felt like the perfect place to create a business dedicated to helping dogs and their humans live their best life! ​Since a young child, I’ve been able to connect with canines on an intuitive level and instantly create a special bond. This gift has allowed me to bring a more gentle and instinctual approach to dog training and help many people understand the mind of their companions. I specialize in obedience & reactivity/aggression training along with fearful re homed or adopted dogs.​ I have experience with most breeds and specialize in large breeds & wolf hybrids.

We love Lauren!! She has helped my 2.5 year old German Shepard/Great Pyrenees mix become less reactive on leash. I was having to walk my dog in unpopulated places because she would lunge at other dogs. Now because of Laurens training and expertise we are able to take walks regularly through places as busy and populated as the old mill and enjoy it. With Lauren’s guidance she has helped my dog become a better girl and taught me how to be a better manager for my dog. She has helped my relationship with my dog evolve to a healthier and happier place. I would recommend Lauren with Hiking Hounds of Bend to anyone searching for a great dog trainer. She is wonderful to work with!!

Lauren is amazing. We met 2 years ago in Old Mill and I knew instantly she was the right person to care for my dobermans. Both Dante and Charlie took to her, which is saying something because my dogs are extremely selective with others. Charlie can be a bit aggressive and intimidating. Lauren handled her with affection and ease. After just one walk, she could come to the house and both Charlie and Dante were excited to go with her.
She is the only professional that I trust to stay with my dogs over night. She is reliable, capable, and loving. Lauren is the perfect combination and I trust her completely.
If you are looking for a qualified, caring and trust worthy person to walk or leave your dog with, Lauren is the one.

I drove all the way from Portland to have her train my dog! Heard of Lauren through some family member and she did not disappoint! Not only was she super affordable, she was also respectful and friendly to both my dog, myself and all of the other people around us.
She immediately was able to get my dogs full attention and get him to focus in a way I’ve never seen him do in the 11 months he’s been alive lol! She also made sure to ask if he was reactive, if he had any allergies and if we already had any sort of hand signals or commands we have worked on with him to really personalize the session.
We worked on Heeling, Jumping and Recall all within 60 minutes, and the result was astronomical. Obviously, with continued practice on my end, I’ll be able to really drill this into his brain.
She was a wonderful person to work with and gave wonderful insight into what I can work on with him and answered every question I had in good detail.
Overall, 5/5 stars! Was worth the 3 hour drive down here!!!
