The Story Behind Doggi
Doggi was founded in Paddington by Laura — someone who once felt exactly how many dog owners feel today. Confused, overwhelmed, and searching for answers that actually made sense.
With so much information out there, Doggi was created to make dog training make sense.
What began as a passion for understanding her own dogs has grown into a trusted destination for dogs and their people — a community of dog lovers committed to helping their dogs live life to the fullest, in a safe, supportive space where dogs can learn, grow, and thrive.
Four years on, we're incredibly proud of the community that has grown with Doggi and the hundreds of dogs and their humans we have helped live better lives together.
Our Approach
We take a holistic, relationship-based approach to training. Rather than focusing on quick fixes, we look at the bigger picture of how you and your dog live together, and build from there. The goal is a calm, confident dog you can take anywhere, and a life together that feels good for both of you.
-
We look at breed, mental and physical outlets, sleep, diet and more, because when those needs are met, dogs are at their most balanced. Training works best when it fits the whole picture of your dog's life.
-
We help you understand your dog and build a lifestyle that works for both of you, giving you the skills, knowledge and confidence to keep making progress at home. We guide owners with honesty and care, so it always feels achievable.
-
It's not just about the dogs. Connecting with people matters just as much to us. Training should be a fun, positive experience that brings you closer to your dog and leaves you feeling confident, happy and supported.
-
We prioritise structure, fulfilment and boundaries, with one goal in mind: a life of freedom with your dog, where you can take them anywhere and do anything together.

Meet Laura
Doggi Founder
Laura is the founder of Doggi, a dedicated dog mum to Mickey the Papillon, and someone who has spent years deepening her knowledge of dog behaviour and psychology through study, hands-on experience, and real-world results.
Her journey began over ten years ago with her own dogs. Winnie, a Cocker Spaniel rescued at just 10 months old, came to her with severe behavioural issues. Working through those challenges sparked a deep passion for understanding dog behaviour and psychology — and a realisation that so many owners were in the same position, with nowhere to turn that truly made sense.
-
Sadly, Winnie has since passed, along with Coco and Fray, the other dogs who helped shape this journey. But their legacy lives on in the work Laura does every day.
Since then, Laura has travelled to America twice and trained with some of the world's leading dog behaviourists, including Pack Life LA founder Samantha Johnson, Cheri Wulff Lucas, Pack Leader University founder Ridge, and Your Favorite Dog Trainer founder Elizabeth Folly, among others.
It's this journey — and the deep understanding that comes with it — that is at the heart of everything Doggi does. Laura knows firsthand the challenges owners face, and has spent years building something she's truly proud of, helping hundreds of dogs and their humans live better lives together.

She has since completed further training with some of the world's leading dog behaviourists, including travelling to the USA to train with Samantha Johnson of Pack Life LA.
