Ani-Mal Dog Behaviourist and Trainer

We worked with Annie to address my dogs severe separation anxiety and confinement anxiety. We had to undo the fallout from a previous trainer who had used dominance techniques and left my dog with more fear than ever, and wed made no progress in a year and a half. Within 6 months of gradual threshold training he was no longer afraid of the crate, and could be left for four hours! Helping him overcome his fears with a gentle, science backed approach was much more effective for him and felt like a much kinder partnership. We now keep up with his socialising around other dogs by attending Annies group classes where each dog is managed according to their individual needs, and so provides a safe and controlled environment for them to learn in. After several poor trainers in the past, Annie is the only one Id recommend now!

Annie really knows her stuff with dogs and even small tweaks she has suggested to us have made a massive difference with me and my rottie Pumba. Annie has helped us with general obedience, improving recall by helping us to condition the e collar safely, and working on neutrality to other dogs. Annie is always really calm during our sessions even when I feel panicked, and I can tell that she really wants whats best for my dog. She has never made me feel judged or guilty for my dogs behaviour even when Ive felt embarrassed or guilty myself, which is important for any dog trainer. Although Annie works with tools, I feel like she takes as force free approach as possible and looks at each dog as an individual rather than using a one size fits all approach. I would recommend Annie to anyone looking to improve their dogs behaviour, she has been so supportive to me and we will continue our training journey with her

Annie is incredible! We have 5 dogs and are temporarily fostering a 6th and wanted someone to come to our house to help with our youngest who was becoming more reactive and unpredictable with the other dogs. Annie took time to take the history of all our dogs, not just him, and has given us heaps of things we can do to try and help him. From recommending different food for him, different ways to play and keep his mind occupied, training methods, even down to informing us of medication he could be on. Im so happy with her visit and hopefully our little boy will love the changes!

Great first initial conversation and observation on our boy frank. Questions were all asked and it was so insightful. Looking forward to the process of frank and the progress he will make!
