Training
In-Home Private Dog Training
One-to-one training that solves your specific problems – in your own home. You and your dog will learn more effectively than in a neutral venue or in group classes because I focus solely on you!
We can train outside for walks in your neighbourhood or visit a local park or tother location to resolve problems outside the home.
Confidence in
Connection
Firm. Fair. Fun. Focused on results.
Calm walks. Visitors without chaos. A dog who checks in with you instead of ignoring you.
This programme is for owners dealing with the everyday stuff that wears you down — barking, jumping, pulling, a dog who won't settle. Nothing's badly wrong. It's just that nobody has ever shown you and your dog a system you both understand.
That's what I teach. Clear body language, vocal cues, and a way of communicating that dogs actually read. You'll learn to give direction and mean it, and your dog will start paying attention because it finally makes sense to them.
You'll leave with: confident handling instead of guesswork, clarity instead of confusion about what your dog knows, and a household that runs on routine rather than luck.

Claire M & Willow
"The transformation has been incredible, our poodle is much calmer, more responsive and we are more confident in handling situations that we used to dread.
We have the highest regard for Anna and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, ethical and caring professional trainer."
Holly M & Poe
"Her passion for helping people build better relationships with their dogs is obvious. She has a straight-talking vibe that I loved and made me feel like she wouldn’t let me fail.
The improvements in our walks came quickly, and being able to regularly check in with Anna between sessions was great for us both."
Behavioural Support
For dogs whose reactions run deeper than training.
If your dog lunges, barks, growls or spins on the lead — at other dogs, at people, at cyclists, at cars, at something only they can see coming, this is the programme you need. A walk you don't have to plan escape routes for. A dog who can see another dog, person, bike, or car, and not react.
Most reactive dogs aren't aggressive and they aren't being difficult. They're frightened, or so wound up they can't think. Which is why suppressing the reaction doesn't hold: the feeling underneath is still there, waiting for the next trigger.
Most people who come to me for this have already tried something else. It doesn't mean your dog is a lost cause — it usually means the work was aimed at the behaviour rather than the feelings underneath it.
So that's what we focus on. Not new commands, but changing how your dog feels about the thing, rather than what they do about it. This takes longer than everyday training, and involves building confidence and coping kills - it also takes commitment. I'll be honest with you on the call about what that looks like.
You'll leave with: a dog who can cope with the world instead of being frightened of it, and the confidence to take them anywhere without bracing for what might happen.
