Hi, I’m Anna – Passionate Dog Trainer with a Scientific Edge
Welcome
I’m Anna, a devoted dog trainer based in Bagshot, Surrey. My approach is built on the belief that every dog and every owner is unique, and that training should be rooted in empathy, respect, and evidence-based methods. With extensive professional training and industry recognised certifications, I blend science with compassion to help dogs and their families thrive.

From Academy to Canine Connection
My Journey & Background
My passion for dog training began over 20 years ago, when I became the proud owner of a black Labrador. Thanks to her, I started attending dog training classes and taking part in dog shows – and what began as a hobby soon grew into a dream of becoming a professional dog trainer.
As time went on, I became increasingly interested in science-based training methods. I started reading books, attending courses, and expanding my knowledge at every opportunity. This journey eventually led me to establish Dogs Forever Training & Behaviour in 2019 – a business founded on compassion, understanding, and a genuine love for dogs.
Alongside my hands-on experience, I hold a Master’s degree in Animal Husbandry from the University of Technology and Life Sciences in Bydgoszcz, which provides me with a strong academic background in animal care and behaviour.

Positive, Force-Free, and Tailored Just for You
My Training Philosophy
I believe that effective training is all about building trust. Using force-free, positive reinforcement techniques, I create a training environment where your dog feels safe and motivated to learn. My scientific background allows me to observe subtle behaviours and tailor methods that meet each dog’s individual needs. Every session is designed to foster better communication and a deeper bond between you and your canine companion.
