Barb D.

Anna is a very gifted dog trainer. We adopted a 2 year old dog who came with some issues. He was difficult to walk, guarded food and toys, and clashed with our other dog. Overall he seemed very unpredictable. Anna taught us to read his signals, used positive reinforcement to reduce his reactivity, and helped him become confident and secure. Thanks to her patience and expertise, Jasper is now a well-adjusted, wonderful family dog! Thank you Anna!

Navigating the realm of dog training is a multifaceted journey that demands adaptability, patience, and a deep understanding of canine behavior. Throughout my years working with dogs, I've had the privilege of working with dogs of all backgrounds, from average companions to those with reactive tendencies and special needs. Each dog presents its own set of challenges and rewards, and it's through these varied experiences that I've cultivated a holistic approach to training that prioritizes empathy, communication, understanding, and above all love.
