MEET YOUR TRAINER

Layla has a passion for animal welfare and helping our local community. She started her professional dog training career in 2019 at Petbarn Lismore, where she taught puppy school, beginner, and intermediate classes. In 2021, she opened Northern Rivers Dog Walking to provide much-needed pet care services to our region, which she sold at the end of 2024. Layla is currently in her second year of study with the Delta Institute, very close to completing her Certificate IV in Animal Behaviour and Training. Additionally, Layla has a Bachelor of Wildlife Science and a Certificate IV in Captive Animals - both qualifications that have furthered her overall knowledge of animal behaviour and care.

Layla's family includes Suki, a Staffy/Rotti/Sharpei pup from Animal Rights & Rescue Group is Lismore. In early 2024, Layla lost her beautiful girl Tess, a cattle dog x JRT x goodest girl (shown in photo).
