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.

My beagle puppy Willow was a wild child, acting like she had ADHD lol. I enrolled her into Anna’s daughter Trisha’s board and train for 4 weeks to get a good foundation set for her. At the time I didn’t know about Anna until I expressed to Trisha that I was looking for obedience training classes that would work for my schedule. I was looking for classes that were on a Thursday. That’s when Trisha recommended her mom Anna. I immediately signed Willow up for Anna’s Thursday morning beginner classes. I’m so glad I did, Anna is awesome just like her daughter Trisha. Willow used to be so food crazy and didn’t know the word wait. I’m pleased to say that she now knows wait, how to walk on a leash and the basic commands. My goal is to eventually compete in obedience and rally shows with her. I plan on continuing her training with Anna in the advance class to improve her training to prepare for future competition. Willow is 100% beagle and follows her nose, which means she likes to turn off her ears lol. So that is a big thing we consistently work on. Anna is very knowledgeable and sweet, her training approach is not as harsh as I have witnessed with past trainers. Testimonial written by Angie Vockings on this site.

The reason I chose Adelhorst Kennels ,in the first place ,was due to rave reviews from both my vets tech Jody and a coworker Who sent her dog for the board and train program. I would give more than five stars if allowed ! My dog just turned one the day before he went to his board and train program with Anna. I didn’t really know what to expect, but I was told to expect miracles and that is what I got! Burke, the mini Bernedoodle, was turning into a highly reactive dog around other dogs, and starting to become that way with people he didn’t know. I tried all different kinds of things and nothing was helping! His behavior was causing me to be anxious and frustrated, which intern, led to him being the same! I picked Burke up a week ago, had a two hour lesson with Anna and Burke before we came home so she could show me what to do. I admit, I was nervous that I was going to fail again. However, Anna was So patient with me, answered so many questions, and made me feel right at home. This last week at home with Burke by myself has been nothing but a complete turnaround for both of us and our relationship is so much stronger because of it! He’s a totally different dog, listens to me now, he is great with people, and most of all doesn’t bark at other dogs! He’s calmer, sleeps better, and pays attention to commands! I’ve text Anna a couple times with questions and she’s been more than helpful. We will keep our time at Adelhorst going with her obedience classes and I am excited for Burke’s future! Thank you, Anna and team for providing such a wonderful service at a beautiful facility with kind people!

Anna is a one in a million.

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.
