Learn Shelter Behavior with Someone Credentials and Experienced
Laurie Lawless is a nationally recognized expert in shelter dog behavior, with over 15 years of experience in sheltering, behavior consulting, and leadership. Through Shelter Behavior Integrations, she brings sustainable, customized solutions to shelters through integrated frameworks that identify operational challenges, create clear pathways, reduce length of stay, minimize behavioral euthanasia, and increase team confidence and fulfillment.
Every shelter is unique and long lasting and meaningful change requires more than a one-time visit or a static plan. That’s why the SBI approach blends the hands-on value of on-site consulting with the flexibility and consistency of remote support.
Laurie works directly with your team in real time: observing daily operations, offering practical coaching, refining behavior plans, and meeting dogs where they are. She gets a true feel for your shelter's culture, challenges, and strengths and embraces them to create her tailored programs.
Through follow-up remote support she continued to help you maintain momentum, adapt as needed, and build internal confidence and consistency over time.
