Puppy Training and Dog Training in Rugby
Calm Living Starts with Clear Training
Are you feeling overwhelmed by your dog's behaviour? From a new puppy that's chewing everything to a dog that won't come back when called, we understand the stress that comes with a tricky companion.
Welcome to your local dog trainer in Rugby. I’m Anna, and I'm here to help you build a calmer, happier life with your dog. With over 10 years of experience running a 5-star dog training business, and a unique academic background in Forensic Psychology, I specialise in designing clear, effective training plans that actually work in the real world.
(Please note: My expertise lies in puppy foundations, basic life skills, and recall. I do not take on severe behavioural cases.)
How We Work Together: A Better Way to Train Instead of just booking random hours in a field, we focus on consistent, supported progress to get you real results.
-
Step 1: The 'Right Start' Session (90 Minutes) We begin with an in-depth, hands-on assessment. You will leave with 2–3 immediate "quick-win" exercises and a bespoke email roadmap so you know exactly what to do next.
-
Step 2: Monthly Support Programmes To truly change behaviour, the magic happens in the consistent practice. After your Right Start session, you can join a Monthly Support Programme to keep the momentum going. These include:
-
Practical Coaching: Face-to-face sessions to perfect your mechanics and progress your dog's skills.
-
Monday–Friday Video Analysis: Think of me as your 'pocket dog trainer'. Send me short videos of your training practice during the week, and I'll troubleshoot your technique so you never feel stuck waiting for our next session.
-
Bespoke Action Plans & Q&A Masterclasses: Tailored written recaps and access to an exclusive monthly video clinic to keep you constantly moving forward.

What our clients say
We had 4x 121 sessions with Anna for our 2 year old Patterjack, Ronnie! Anna ensured she tailored every session with exactly what we need/want to work on and made it so simple. She's encouraging, enthusiastic and just wonderful! We've learnt a lot and are going away very confident with what we are doing. She also gave us a summary of what we worked on after each session, so we can continue to work on it in between sessions and going forward. It's been money well spent, we're extremely pleased and we would highly recommend Anna to everyone who needs a bit of help & guidance with their doggies!!
L. Ward & Ronnie
Anna has been fantastic with our puppy, Lottie and tailored her training to address the main behavioural concerns we had. Anna has given us the tips and advice necessary to continue Lottie’s training so she will grow into a well behaved, well rounded dog that will be socially acceptable wherever we go, be it visiting friends, dining out or just meeting other dog walkers when out and about. Lottie loved her training sessions and we learnt so much from Anna. The emails Anna sent following each session recounting what had been incorporated into the session and tips to continue progress were extremely helpful and are a good reference point when needed. Thank you Anna, we are so grateful and impressed with what you achieved in such a short timescale.
Pauline & Lottie
Anna has been amazing since we first got our puppy, she has taught us so much as first time dog owners. We have had one to one sessions, training classes and our dog boards with her when we are on holiday. Her teaching style is very relaxed. Anna noticed slight changes with him recently which prompted a vets visit where we found he had some physical issues, we would not have noticed this and are now learning to adapt our training to suit his needs. So grateful to have found Anna!
Sherry Lia-Beech & Toffee
So great to have 1-2-1 training tailored to meet your specific needs & and gave me the confidence as a novice dog owner to take control. Home training & out & about training really helped to reinforce all the commands & the follow up guidance hints & tips were really great. Coco loved it & so did I 😁
Paula Crick & Coco
We would like to thank Anna for giving us such an abundance of information and assistance in pointing us in the right direction , regarding early training techniques etc with our new puppy Bonnie [see photo]. We had always had retired rescue greyhounds before , and quickly realised we needed some early guidance in the right direction with a new puppy. What Anna achieved with Bonnie , and us [lol] , was quite remarkable in the time given ,
