What felt special about working with Anna was her passion and depth of knowledge, she truly took the time to get to know Tini, even analyzing videos of her interactions with other dogs to provide personalized advice and recommendations. I appreciated that she sent us clear summaries after each session with next steps and helpful resources, which kept us organized and confident in our progress. Her communication was always clear, flexible when unexpected events came up, and delivered with kindness that made the training environment feel safe and supportive.

If you're in need of training for your pups, I couldn't recommend Contented Canine more. Anna is an excellent trainer; she provides practical, applicable and useful instruction and training cues, as well as links and handouts for more detailed information. Most importantly, she has a wonderful personality with people and pups! We'll continue to consult her for our dogs' training and behavior adjustments as needed!

Tali was so noise sensitive, she would freeze and be stressed out for significant amounts of time if a loud motorcycle or truck rolled by. She also had a hard time behaving herself when friends dropped by with lots of jumping up and barking. Since working with Anna, Tali is still a sensitive girl, but she's able to handle her stressors much better. Loud motorcycles are still scary, but she processes it and moves on much more easily now. She's also become much more comfortable when friends come by too! We appreciated Anna's calm demeanor around our pups and how she always tried to adapt to what Tali was communicating. [...] We felt seen and heard.
