About Me

City life with a dog can be overwhelming

Whether you’re preparing for a new dog, helping a rescue settle in, supporting an over-excited pup, or guiding a young dog learning the ropes, having a dog can be stressful. If everyday skills aren’t sticking, or your dog is showing signs of overwhelm, you’re not alone.

As a certified dog trainer, I offer personalised, force-free support online and in-person across Walthamstow, Highams Park, Chingford, and surrounding areas. From navigating busy streets and public spaces, to developing focus, recall, and loose-lead walking, my approach is tailored to both ends of the lead, helping both you and your dog build confidence, practical skills, and a strong relationship.

Anna really helped me with quite an unusual, complex situation. I was dogsitting a new dog, and it turns out that this dog had much greater needs than I'd expected. I was really stuck as I am not experienced or confident with puppies, so I reached out to Anna for help. I was in the middle of the countryside, so she offered support remotely.
I described the various problems, and Anna asked lots of questions about the environment, food, routines, behaviour etc. She was quickly able to give me an understanding of why the dog was likely to be behaving in that way, which made so much sense.
She was able to come up with a set of short term solutions to support the dog, and also improve my experience while there so that I would be less stressed. The suggestions had to be limited to what I could find around the house, and what I could achieve over this short stay, but they really did make a difference. She checked in a few days later, and proposed some further adaptations and activities as needed. She really helped me to work through quite a challenging situation, and to bond with a very cute but very chaotic puppy!
I had a really positive experience with Mindful Pups, and was amazed how much could be achieved remotely, and over such a short period  of time.
I would highly recommend Mindful Pups.  Thank you!

So patient and understanding. Anna explained what was happening with our pup in a way that was very easy to understand and calming our worries.
Anna left us with a bunch of tools to work with and although it’s only been a short amount of time the results have been really promising.

Anna is helping me build confidence and a trusting relationship with my new rescue.
Anna's approach is holistic and tailored - to both the dog and the human! My nervous dog felt comfortable around her within minutes. A good trainer is a good tutor, and Anna's teaching skills are excellent. Her communication is timely and well-explained - with the right amount of encouragement and reassurance! The tools/resources she provides are great learning materials too.

I can't recommend Mindful Pups Training enough! Their approach is both compassionate and effective, focusing on positive reinforcement and clear communication. I noticed such a difference in my pet's behavior after just a few sessions. Anna tailored the training to meet our specific needs. It's clear Anna truly care about animals and their well-being. Whether you're addressing behavioral issues or just looking to strengthen the bond with your pet, this is the place to go!

Wonderful experience with Anna! She was able to tailor our training to my nervous rescue dog's needs.

I needed help with barking at the door / noises outside.

She was kind, patient, asked questions and observed before she made an assessment which we put into practice. She also wrote up tailored homework for me and my dog: clear and easy to follow at home.

I am happy to report that we no longer have the issue and have had others surprised at his ability to self comfort without my intervention 😊

I also learnt so much more about understanding dog behavior, threshold, and encouraging natural relaxation. all things I am able to apply elsewhere, being able to see things from my dog's POV.

10/10 thank you so much!

How Mindful Pups can help

The right time to get dog training support is whenever it would make your life easier – not just when things have become ‘bad enough’ to justify it. Sooner is often better! I can help you and your pups build city life skills such as focus, impulse control, confidence, and communication. How we can work together:

Why work with me?

Busy urban environments are demanding for dogs and their people. My job isn’t just to train your dog – it’s to build your confidence and capability, so you can handle whatever comes next, long after our work together ends.

I won’t blame your dog. Unwanted behaviours aren’t personality flaws: they’re communication. I’ll help you understand what’s driving them, and give you practical, evidence-based tools to respond in a way that actually works.

I support both ends of the lead equally. That means honest feedback, high expectations of what’s possible, and no fluff… just real progress.
