TESTIMONIALS

HENRY

"Anne was so patient with Henry and took the time to really transfer the skills and knowledge onto us because half the training is for the pup, the other half is for the owner applying those skills and Anne helped us to see that."

Liana

POTATO

"Anne is responsive, trustworthy, and an excellent teacher. She shared many pictures and videos along the way so we got to see all of the progress in real time. Every time we bring our puppy to Anne, she gets so excited. Highly recommended!"

Jason

BLEU

"Cousin Anne is amazing. First, I was so nervous to leave my new baby in the hands of someone else, but she completely made me comfortable. She would send me daily pictures and videos and CONSTANTLY updated me on how he is doing. We so appreciate her and her help with our baby Bleu! Can't believe he sleeps through the night without accidents!"

Stefanie

KAYA

"Anne is very nice, warm and patient. I have a very energetic Corgi who is calmer now and doesn't pee everywhere. Anne was very good at making him trust her and he would go along with her on long training walks. Strongly recommend!"

Kyo

EDEN

"From their very first meeting Anne was very calm, patient, and caring. I could tell that she knows dog behavior inside and out— she knew just what to do to contain and safely release all that energy. My dog responded great to her, and after just a couple sessions I see a noticeable difference in my dog's behavior."

Mia

TANK

"Cousin Anne offers me a lot of support with my very frisky young pup! Her approach to wee wee pad training touches upon various broader aspects from pen management to monitoring timing across activities, to reinforcement across behaviours. She keeps me well informed of his progress, including videos and is kind and generous. I enjoy working with her!"

WHAT TO EXPECT

Cousin Anne coaches pups and their people for life.

Cousin Anne's approach to dog training is a collaborative process in which she works with the owner to develop a customized and sustainable lifestyle plan for both the owner and dog. By coaching the owner on how to communicate effectively with their dog, Cousin Anne believes that the owner can create a home environment that fosters good behavior in addition to building a strong bond of trust between the owner and their dog. Her approach to training has helped many dog owners have a better relationship with their dog.

Dogs are pack animals. Typically, the human gets one domesticated dog and brings it into the human world, on human terms. So, it can be confusing for a dog to understand what "we" humans want them to do for "us," their packleader. Therefore, it is up to us to protect and direct our dogs. In order to accomplish this, all prospective clients should understand that Cousin Anne:

• Focuses on the body language of the dog

• Seeks an understanding of the dogs mind

• Observes the energy of the dog with and without "their" human

• Exercises with the dog before training dog

• Provides the tools and guidance for both human and dog to practice together
