Hi, I'm Anna, so glad you're here!
For over a decade now, I've been dedicated to helping dog owners build incredible relationships with their furry friends through effective training. While I've guided thousands of dogs through various training stages, my real passion now lies in empowering owners to achieve that wonderful feeling of a dog who returns reliably every time you call – a truly fantastic recall!
My journey into dog training wasn't exactly planned. It truly began when I got my wonderful boy, Frank (who I still miss dearly). I found myself searching for effective, positive training methods that went beyond outdated dominance techniques or repetitive, unengaging classes. This personal experience ignited a fire in me to learn everything I could about dog behaviour and training. I immersed myself in books, courses, workshops, and shadowing opportunities, leading me to where I am today: a dedicated and expert dog trainer.
Having seen firsthand the transformative power of clear, fun, and positive training, I'm now channeling that experience and my specific expertise in recall into helping Rugby dog owners specifically master this essential skill, unlocking more freedom and joy on your walks together.
You can be confident you're in experienced and highly qualified hands. I am assessed and certified by leading dog training associations (because it's important to know you're working with a professional!). I'm a proud member of the IMDT (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers), a certified Hoopers Instructor (CHWI), and an Affiliate Trainer with EpicDog Training Academy Ltd, further demonstrating my commitment to ethical, up-to-date, and effective training practices across all areas. My training in Dog Aggression also gives me a deeper understanding of canine behaviour.
My approach is all about making dog training straightforward, easy to implement, and fun for both you and your dog – especially when it comes to achieving that all-important reliable recall! I haven't found a dog yet that I haven't been able to help, at least a little, and I'm confident I can help you too.
Let's work together to transform recall stress into off-leash success!
