About

Hello, I’m Anna…

I’m a compassionate, force-free dog trainer based in Walthamstow, working with people who want to better understand their dog and feel more confident navigating everyday life together.

I help you — as your dog’s primary advocate — make sense of what your dog is telling you, work through challenges, and build the practical skills that make life calmer and more enjoyable. I take a no-judgment approach, shaped around your goals and your dog’s needs.

…and next to me is Walnut!

Walnut is a rescue dog I adopted from Turkey in July 2020. She’s a sensitive soul, and found busy London life overwhelming at first. She was fearful of people and dogs, barking at anyone that looked at her. She was terrified of loud sounds like fireworks, car engines, or building works. She refused to walk in the dark and hated car travel. The list felt endless!

Step by step, we built a strong relationship based on trust, and she gradually blossomed into a confident city dog. Now, she makes friends quickly, wants to go into every café and onto every bus she sees, jumps into the car, and asks for treats when she hears loud noises. Supporting Walnut through her fears is what led me to dog training and behaviour work, and to helping other people navigating similar journeys. I know how overwhelming it can feel, and how much difference the right support can make.
