About Us
Located in Savannah GA and serving families in the Low Country… we help dog owners enjoy their lives with their dogs. What is your dog doing that you wish they weren’t doing? What are they not doing that you wish they were? How is that impacting your everyday life? What’s going to happen if nothing changes? We’d love to hear the answers to these questions! Email or text us now and tell us all about your dog.
Meet The Trainer
Lauren Fins, a Savannah, GA native
There are tons of things I could tell you about my life around dogs… but what matters most is that it’s been so rewarding to help so many hundreds of families since 2017 when I first opened Fins Animal Training. (And really since 2011 when I first started training dogs.)
I started with one goal… to help people. I enjoy teaching people just as much as I enjoy teaching dogs (which many families tell me is not always the case with dog trainers!).
To see dog owners go from reluctant that they ever got a dog (I get it!) to really being able to enjoy their dog the way they always imagined… fun peaceful walks, going to town with impressive dogs that get tons of compliments, and even just living day to day life at home without having to yell at their dog to get back inside already or get off the friend who’s coming in through the front door…
The joy on their faces is priceless and why I love what I do.
