Training Philosophy
I have passion and a strong belief about the application of managing and modifying behaviour change and training using only Force Free methodology, with an integrated approach of dog centred learning, well-being and human education.
I do not support the use of force, fear or intimidation in any of my training practices. The key focus is on enhancing the bond and fostering open communication with you and your dog. Communication is the essence of life.
Keeping up my knowledge accreditations and continually evolving in the canine behaviour and training world is of paramount importance to me.

Qualifications & Experience
Our doggie Rusty has come leaps and bounds since beginning training with Anna.
We now have a much broader understanding of Rusty’s behaviour and now have a more content and relaxed dog.
Anna's approach made it easy to get some quick wins while focusing on building long-term positive behaviours. Her expertise and tailored advice have made a noticeable difference, and we’re so grateful for her support.
Anna’s expertise helped us understand the root causes of Minnie’s behavior, including uncovering an underlying injury that we thought Minnie had already recovered from. Thanks to Anna’s guidance, we were able to seek additional care through hydrotherapy, which has been a fantastic step in Minnie’s post-injury recovery.
Throughout the training, Anna introduced us to various training techniques and taught us about the importance of enrichment, which has made such a difference. Her compassion and dedication were evident every step of the way, as she continuously checked in and genuinely cared about Minnie’s progress and well-being.
Thank you, Anna, for helping us understand Minnie better, for your kindness, and for connecting us to other specialists who could assist Minnie in her journey to recovery. I highly recommend Paw Power to anyone looking for a caring and knowledgeable trainer who truly sees the big picture!
