Meet Anita

Certified Pro Dog Trainer and Reactivity Specialist

Hi my name`s  Anita and I am passionate about helping reactive dogs and their guardians to re-establish the trust and confidence in their relationship.

Owning a reactive dog is taxing for our own mental health and damaging to our relationship with our dog as well as it can cause clashes in the family.

It all started when I was desperately trying to find
training solutions for my nervous and dog aggressive staffy 
girl, Spraggan, that were both kind and effective.

From my 25+ years experience in teaching where I  worked with challenging behaviour, I knew that a positive supportive methods paired with fun interactive games  worked best for children and it was just as effective with dogs, too!

From this Fun Staffy Dog Training was born and now I help families just like yours, understand your dog, find their motivation through interactive play and scent work to. give a meaningful outlet to their needs and desires. 

Through my innovative behaviour modification methods your dog  will achieve a calm and beautiful behaviour that fits with your family and lifestyle

Reactivity isn't permanent behaviour.

There are triggers that occur within your dog's environment that are present and your dog is conditioned to act negatively.

You as the dog owner, has the chance to observe and spot the triggers, and also train your dog to react differently and calmly through practical drills that build a bond like you could never imagined possible.

Knowing how to address this situations with confidence is key to long term success and happiness.

You will be equipped with skills on how to calmly handle any situation using proven and reliable handling techniques so you can support your dog and set them up for success.

You will build your own confidence as a handler, and work as a team with your dog.

Are you ready to make that happen?
