Had a wonderful and informative conversation with Anna. She took the time to explain why I needed to do things a certain way for my breeds of dogs, and what it would look like if I did. She didn’t use “scare tactics” to get me to understand possible consequences to me and/or my dogs. I could tell she was speaking from years of experience and with a passion for dogs. The best life possible for each and every dog is her main concern. It was not a rushed interaction and it ended with me not having any questions unanswered and with the open invitation to reach out whenever I wanted or needed to. Definitely recommend at the least an informative discussion with Anna m, you won’t be disappointed!! More...

Anna’s Ark is an excellent company for anyone who requires attention to any of their dog’s issues. Her training is excellent. My dog’s walker Brenda is superb with my dog who is a bit fearful. Both Brenda and Anna are wonderful with the dogs. I trust them completely. More...

We have enjoyed learning about our dogs needs and requests. Anne is wonderful to work with. She is patient and truly takes the time to listen to your frustrations concerns and the problems encountered. Our dog Bailey loves going to see Anna and enjoys the time spent working with Anne learning and teaching her mom and dad. We have all learned so much from Anna. We hope to continue this great relationship as Bailey grows into a well behaved dog. Thanks Anna !! More...

Anna is amazing! I am so happy I found her on Bark. She has been helping me with my reactive Sheepadoodle Walter. She has a great facility and explains how to work with your dog at home as well. You can see how much she loves dogs. More...

Had used anna' when I needed to have work on my property done. My Irish wolfhounds had a great time. Training that was started continued. Got a report of their behavior when we were ready to leave. Anna is kind and gentle with the hounds. I would use her service any time More...

Anna’s ark training has been amazing for us!! She is great with my pushy German Shepard! She knows exactly how to deal with him and has given us lots of good tools and techniques that have helped us lots! Our dog was becoming a little too pushy and aggressive and Anna has shown us that with some work our dog can be the best dog! I highly highly recommend Anna as she can handle any sort of dog behaviour :)! And she’s friendly and funny too :) More...

We loved taking our chihuahua to Anna's Ark to address his fear of other people and dogs. She did magic! She got Coco to play! ! with her in the first 10 minutes! We were awestruck... Anna definitely knows what she is doing. Towards the end of the training, she let some of her super calm and friendly dogs out (exactly what Coco needed). Coco was scared initially, but then he sniffed the dogs, relaxed, and even wanted to play with them!! our hearts were melting. We will definitely take Coco back for more training. If it was not because of Anna, I sadly would have probably rehomed my puppy. We can not thank you enough Anna. Oh, she also answered all of my questions, which was lovely :D More...

Anna is phenominal! She truly loves dogs - this is more than just a job for her. She has helped us out in tight situations on more than one occasion. She is very in tune with dogs and picks up on their slightest cues. If there ever was a dog whisperer, Anna would be it! More...
