Your Local Dog Behaviour and Training Expert
About
Me
My name is Anna, I’m originally from Poland,
though I currently reside in the UK, Cornwall.
My journey with dogs began in Poland, where I volunteered at a local rescue center and fostered dogs for several years. This experience taught me valuable lessons about the diverse ways dogs can behave, as well as the significant impact trauma can have on them. I discovered that with patience, gentle training, and effective communication, many dogs can recover from their past experiences.
Over the years, I also had the privilege of owning rescued dogs, which further deepened my understanding and experience in canine behavior.
In 2021, I adopted my German Shepherd, who turned out to be reactive—becoming one of my greatest teachers. To help him, I began attending various courses and webinars, diving deeper into the world of dog behavior and training.
This led me to pursue formal education through the Nordic Education Centre for Ethical Dog Trainers, which follows the methods developed by the renowned trainer, Turid Rugaas (famous for her groundbreaking work on Calming Signals, a crucial aspect of canine communication).
Today, my mission is to help both people and dogs understand the language of body signals, to work in a force-free and compassionate way, and to build strong, healthy bonds. By focusing on communication, empathy, and mutual respect, I aim to help dogs and their owners understand each other better and develop a positive, trusting relationship.
Services
Uncover the reasons behind your dog's behaviour with a thorough 1.5 to 2-hour assessment. This complete package includes a free pre-call, detailed history and observation, first tips, a custom behaviour modification plan, a formal consultation report, and a vet referral.
While training and behaviour are closely intertwined, training focuses on practical mechanics to make daily life easier. It can serve as a key piece of a behaviour modification plan, but it is also perfect for dogs without behaviour issues who just need help mastering skills like reliable recall or loose lead walking.
Online sessions are a flexible option for long-distance clients or as a stress-free first step to gather history for dogs who are nervous around strangers. They are also an excellent, convenient choice for existing clients who have previously attended in-person sessions and want an extra check-in or ongoing support.
