About
I am Lauren Paige the Owner of Menagerie Training Company in Richmond, Vermont.
My mission began when I started volunteering with rescues in 2012. Having a Rottweiler of my own I noticed the stigma around certain breeds of dogs early on, especially in the south, and felt a calling to try to change that narrative. That led to fostering the “difficult” dogs and then founding a Rottweiler rescue of my own specifically for those “difficult” dogs. After completing my bachelors in psychology and later closing the rescue I pursued a more traditional line of work and then found my way back. This time with a pug named Bert. My passion continues to remain with the underdogs. Effective communication can be challenging but is essential for every being whether it be human or animal. Working through PTSD of a traumatic event can be just as tough for our dogs as it is for us. My training focuses on that communication with you AND your dog; creating a common language, mutual understanding, and trust through teamwork for us all. Changing your dogs emotions through relationship building and purpose allows them to trust us to see the world differently and have the clarity they need to understand what is expected of them and thrive.
