About

Hello, I’m Anna…

I’m a compassionate, force-free, certified dog trainer based in Walthamstow E17. I’m fully insured and completed my trainer certification with the Dog Training College.

My goal is to empower you — your dog’s primary advocate — to understand your dog’s needs, work through challenges, and build the behaviors that make life smoother and more enjoyable for both of you. I offer a no-judgment approach focused on addressing your goals. Whether it’s helping your dog adjust to the hustle and bustle of the city, guiding a rescue dog to feel confident, or something else, I’m here to help.

…and next to me is Walnut!

Walnut is a rescue dog, adopted from Turkey in July 2020. She’s a sensitive soul, and struggled with adjusting to busy London life. She was fearful of human and canine strangers, 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. She hated car travel. The list felt endless! Step by step, we built a strong relationship based on trust, and she blossomed into a proper city dog. Now, she makes friends quickly, wants to go into every cafe and onto every bus she sees, jumps into the car, and asks for treats when she hears loud noises. Helping Walnut navigate her fears inspired me to learn more about dog training and behaviour — to help others on the same journey.
