Dog training process designed to help your dog make better choices independently, focus in presence of distractions and control their impulses so you can relax.
Does it sound familiar?
We believe that every dog has a gentle side awaiting to be uncovered and we are here to support you in achieving your dream of having a well-balanced dog you want to go on adventures with.
I remember the feeling of envy every time I was passing another better behaved dog on a walk and wondering why mine can’t be like that… and how powerless it felt during long nights of online research trying to find a solution… I lived it first hand, so I more than get it.
Since then, after 10+ years of helping hundreds of clients and rescue dogs become gentle family members, I’ve learned what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to training a pet companion dog in the modern busy world.
The Gentle Dog Training Method has been developed to help busy dog parents just like you fast track their dog’s training journey and make you a better dog parent.
And I’m confident I can get those results for you too.

“Absolutely amazing experience! Finished training some time ago, but with the homework emails on hand kept working with Toffee. He learned with me together how to become a better dog! Flexibility around my work schedule was amazing and Anna is fantastic! Could not ask for better training experience! Thank you!”
“Anna is an amazing dog trainer. We did training with our puppy Osha, who was being a bit of a handful and her behaviour has improved a lot. Anna is so calm, knowledgeable and understanding and Osha absolutely loves her. Highly recommend!”
“We would highly recommend Anna for dog training, or rather, “human” training! We really enjoyed Anna’s approach as she made it easy for us to understand and of course having some fun along the way! Her follow up instructions were very thorough. Our only wish is we found her sooner!”
What does this mean?
No matter if you live with a cute little puppy or an adult dog, you can be nearly certain that at some point you will be faced with at least one major behavioural issue. If you don’t know how to effectively respond to that behaviour, you are guaranteed that the problem will worsen over time. Obtaining adequate training will give you tools and support needed to resolve and/or prevent behaviour challenges and create happy relationship with your beloved dog.
Unnecessary? We call it an essential investment.
To get all this and more…
All the more reason, my friend… this is exactly the shortcut you need.
The real question is, do you have the luxury to waste any more time? Behaviour is not static, it does evolve if you realise it or not, regrettably, if you don’t know how to respond to everyday situations, the tendency for the behaviour is to worsen over time.
The truth is, you will need to carve out a bit of time initially to implement the training and learn the new way of interacting with your dog, however after a short few weeks, once it becomes a habit you will be able to continue reinforcing your training goals during everyday interactions with your dog – effortlessly.
The real truth is the busier you are, the MORE you need an effective and efficient way of addressing your dog’s behaviour.
The little bit of time you will invest now will free you up tenfold for the rest of your dog’s life.
