Anna's passion for training began at a young age, when she began teaching her family dog some fun tricks. In adulthood, Anna went on to hold various roles as a dog walker, animal care assistant at an emergency vet, and dog daycare attendant. Nowadays, Anna runs Contented Canine as owner and lead behavior consultant.
As a passionate forever learner, Anna keeps up to date with the latest developments in learning theory by attending seminars and completing continuing education courses by renown trainers. Anna is a firm believer that we should not use fear or uncomfortable training tools in order to train dogs. You can rest assured that any training plan you receive from Anna will only contain humane and kind training methods.
In her free time, she is typically found supporting Pacific Northwest Cattle Dog Rescue as volunteer co-lead training consultant. When she is not training, you will usually find Anna spending time with her husband and two dogs hiking, camping, cooking, or knitting.
