Expert Rescue Dog Trainer
With several years of experience, I offer compassionate training solutions tailored to the unique needs of rescue dogs. Many rescue dogs face challenges like fear, anxiety, and past trauma, making their transition into a new home overwhelming for both the dog and the family. My goal is to help these dogs build confidence, feel secure, and develop the skills needed to thrive in a loving, balanced life.
Rescue dogs often require patience, understanding, and a customized approach to address their specific behaviors. Through positive reinforcement and clear communication, I help dogs and their owners create a strong bond rooted in trust.
Together, we’ll turn challenges into opportunities for growth and set your rescue dog on the path to a happy and fulfilling life.

Wow! Anita is amazing! I got a new pup this year and I took him to another trainer because my schedule didn't fit with Anita's at the time. Having finished a full session of training, I felt disappointed; though we did all our socialization homework, my pup still turned himself inside out on the leash when he saw a potential playmate, and didn’t have a reliable "come!"..... So, I rearranged my schedule and re started my pup with Anita. My boy now does his training both on and off leash among 8 other dogs! He can Come, sit, stay and heel both on and off leash even in the midst of play with the other dogs! After a wonderful morning's off leash hike and an evening’s perfect neighbor stroll, I just had to post this happy success story! Training with Anita is the way to have a great relationship of trust and success with your dog!

Anita and her method of training is loving, compassionate, and kind. Our new puppy can't wait to see her when she comes to train. Anita has taught us how to train with consistency and patience. We are so happy with the results! We have a well-mannered, social and most importantly a safe dog who will come, sit, stay, heel and wait. Thanks to you, Anita!
