TESTIMONIALS

"Thank you so much Ani, you are such an incredible trainer. Your guidance and tips have helped Zara and me so much! 🙏🙌 "

"Chiron has progressed so much. I confess, I took her around the block today. The walk back-pivot works really well in conjunction either cue to “take a smell”.  I’m able to bring her around and move closer to the thing she wants to smell and give the “take a smell “ cue. She pulled a lot less when she realized that she would get to smell what she wanted.   Before, it was more like she’d forget what she was smelling or maybe she thought I wasn’t allowing her to smell it."

"I was a teacher for most of my working career, and I am quite critical of teachers. You are outstanding, and I really appreciate your warmth, your enthusiasm, your interest, making the class personally and being able to address all of us, and not leave anybody hanging or bored. Thank you so much!  I look forward to next week. Already tried the exercise and how to value different treats with Lucy. Was fascinating to watch her. She definitely has her preferences!"

"Ani's Loose Leash & Recall class was an absolute game-changer for my 6-month-old pup and me! After just a few sessions, we noticed a huge difference in how we handled walks together. Ani's positive training methods and personalized approach helped my dog learn quickly and effectively, while also making the whole experience fun for both of us.  The biggest takeaway was the importance of practicing the exercises at home – it truly reinforces the lessons learned in class and makes all the difference in seeing results. Ani's guidance and support throughout the process were invaluable, and I highly recommend her classes to anyone looking to improve their walks and strengthen their bond with their dog. It doesn't matter the age of your dog, this class is worth every penny!"

"Ani is a miracle worker — in only two one-hour sessions, she absolutely transformed our dog's behavior! Our dog is extremely anxious, and struggled with reactivity on walks, mouthiness, and excessive barking. We had tried for months to fix this behavior, and had used many online resources (and another trainer) to no avail. Ani taught us specific exercises as well as more general principles for relaxing our dog and putting her into a receptive headspace for training. Within weeks of following her guidance, our dog's problematic behaviors have diminished enormously. She is substantially calmer, seems much happier, and is less reactive both in the house and on walks (and thus we are substantially calmer as well!).

Importantly, it is obvious that Ani sincerely cares about the well-being of dogs. Almost immediately after meeting Ani, our normally stranger-phobic dog was at ease and ready for a productive session. She always follows up the following week to check in on our progress, and is very generous with advice and resources outside of the formal lessons. We would highly recommend her services for anyone who wants to train their dogs in a humane and mutually rewarding way!"

"I have a reactive dog named George and decided to look for a trainer who could help me with his

behavior. Luckily, I ended up finding Ani. With every session I had with her, I would walk away with more

knowledge on how to train my dog. She taught me loose leash walking, how to avoid distractions and

many games to help enforce good behavior. I have used all her tools and have seen a change in his

behavior.

Ani really cared about the well-being of my dog. . Even when we were not in sessions, Ani would check

in on George to see how was doing. She goes up and beyond the call of duty and I would recommend

her to anyone looking for a dog trainer."
