About Us

As a dedicated dog trainer, my role is to equip you with the tools and techniques to transform your dog handling abilities, ensuring your dog becomes a delight both at home and in public. My training program is results-oriented, aiming to build your dog’s proficiency in essential obedience commands such as sit, down, stay, heel, and loose-leash walking. Over the course of eight weeks, you can expect to confidently execute these exercises even amidst distractions, and without relying on treats.

On 3/29/2025 Nadia Valentine had this to say:
I swear, Anna speaks "dog" fluently. She is a fantastic individual, and her employees are top notch. Dogs are her life. She cares for our pups like they are her own. We've been loyal customers since she had her old facility in the Altoona area. When she told me that she'd be moving to Swan, it wasn't even a question: we would drive to Swan so that our dogs can be boarded with her. While other facilities have the dogs inside all day, Anna has a large piece of land, so the dogs are able to go for walks and enjoy nature. Any time we tell our dogs that it's time to go to Anna's, they immediately run to the car. If you’re looking for a place to board your pups while you’re away, we can’t recommend them enough.

On 3/26/2025 Jennifer had this to say:
I had taken my dog, Echo, to a couple different trainings starting when he was just six months old. A few months back, at just over age 3 years old, he experienced a traumatic event that almost took his life which not only caused him to revert back to puppy but had fear of all animals and even some people. I contacted many training places right away to figure out what to do to get our sweet Echo back, and in the meantime worked with taking him back out in public and with us in the car as he use to do. He actually started doing okay, confident we would be with him but all previous training we had done with him was out the door, and to be honest, a full life had already made us lazy in the training area before the event ever happened. We had to be patient, starting fresh, and we wondered if he would ever be okay. A friend had shared Anna's name when she knew we were looking for "the best of the best" in dog trainers. I was able to express to Anna my concerns and desires for training him. We went to meet her with Echo to talk through things and then she invited my husband and I to experience a classroom setting one night (without our dog) to see how she trained. We were blown away by what we saw in that "beginners" class. From my previous experiences, the class we witnessed was beyond your normal training class as they were doing more than beginner's work. You definitely get a "bang for your buck"! We then decided to do the "in home board and train". She needed to take the first week or so just to get him to trust her in order for her to start training. Then the "boot camp" began. Might I add: a little "boot camp" for a wonderful relationship with your dog, where trust and respect run both ways. We are off to a great start, and I am so excited! When we picked him up, we had our "old" dog back but "new and improved"! He has always desired to please us but now, with him being older, it is so much more. And with the private classes after, it has been good for us to understand what WE need to do differently so that we are working as a team with our dog. I am super excited to do more classes! Anna really cares to make both you and your dog the best you can be for each other! Thank you, Anna! Testimonial written by Jennifer on this site.

Yesterday was Tuckers first private lesson. As soon as Anna started handling him, it’s like he was a different dog. She just has a gift! She was awesome at explaining her reasoning, things to look for with Tucker, and giving me all the tools I need to continue training Tucker on my own! I can wait to continue our lessons to watch how Tucker grows and watch how I grow as his leader! Testimonial written by Cody Grubbs on this site.

We absolutely love Anna and her training programs! We started our GSD in her beginning course when she was 5 months old, and then did the advanced course when she was around 3 years old. We have done the 2 week board and train while on vacation and also just 1 week of boarding as well. Our dog is on a few meds as well and Anna has always been able to give those without issue! She has also bathed our pup and trimmed her nails while boarding. We have never had a bad experience and trust Anna with our GSD no matter the circumstance! We highly recommend Anna for whatever you may need for your pup; they will definitely be in good hands! Testimonial written by Madison Van Hulle on this site.

We have seen such a difference in our dog since going to Anna's class. We had a dog that barked and pulled walking by other dogs that no longer behaves that way. Many thanks to Anna.
