Happy Healthy Pup

Anna is such a pleasure to work with! After reading reviews online and our first consultation with Allison, we were so excited to get started with our training.
We have a 12 week old Goldendoodle who is full of energy & is just learning everything about his new world. Anna is very patient & kind, and trains with positive reinforcement, which was so important to my husband & I. She is very flexible with scheduling, which was another very important factor for us (she even came over on Labor Day to train our puppy!). After one training session, our puppy has learned three different commands and we are already noticing a positive difference in his behavior. Anna leaves you with notes following each training session, along with products/​treats/​food recommendations for your puppy, which is such a huge help, especially for new owners.
We decided to purchase the puppy package, and are so excited for our upcoming training sessions. I would highly recommend Anna to any pet owners, as her knowledge and training style really is so impressive!

Our dog Stella has been through all kinds of training. We have spent thousands and nothing we did over a 3 year period helped her. She has anxiety and fear aggression. She’s on Prozac but even that hasn’t helped tremendously. We have isolated ourselves from friends and family because she is so aggressive that we cannot have anyone over, and since she came into our lives, we haven’t been able to take a vacation because no one can keep her.
Because we love her so much, we continued searching for new trainers and new training techniques — we finally found Anna!!! So far, we have only had 2 training sessions, but we can tell a huge difference in her. Anna’s approach is so different than anything we have tried. Her holistic training methods and fun training games are really working!!!
I will and have recommend Happy Healthy Pup to everyone I know!

Anna’s training is SO effective! She thinks and trains holistically, and considers every aspect of a dog’s life (food, training, surroundings, history, etc). I’ve watched her work with three Jack Russell pups from the same rescue litter, and am amazed at how responsive they all have become. She is truly dedicated to helping animals to live happy lives with their families, and it shows in how successfully she works with dogs.

HHP is a great service. I have a 4-​month old boxer who was giving me problems: biting, jumping, housebreaking etc. (usual puppy stuff). Not only did she address what ever needs I had or special requests, she also offered tips on toys, collars, diet and medication/​vaccines. I bought the Living Social Deal hoping to get some tips. Note: puppy training involves training the OWNER and not only the dog. HHP won’t magically transform your dog, HHP teaches you how to handle your pet, discourage bad behavior and guides YOU on training your dog. You have to be consistent and put in the effort. I got the deal for Christmas for two hours of private training… more than worth it.
Anna gave me a tip if my dog ever swallowed something he wasn’t supposed to, and sure enough within a week my puppy swallowed a whole beef hide bone. She answered my panicky text at night and probably saved me an expensive pet bill. She leaves detailed notes on training for future use. I highly recommend Happy Healthy Pup for training.

Anna has so much knowledge on not only training your dog but a complete healthy lifestyle for your dog, too.
After reading reviews on Unilocal and talking with her on the phone, I decided to go ahead with (puppy) training with my 8 month old long haired dachshund. She assured me that after 3 one hour sessions, Bentley would have some drastic improvement. I was a little skeptical that I would be able to see improvement in that little time frame — but I did!
Bentley is now very well behaved. We worked on «sit», «touch», keeping calm when other dogs or people walk by (he is a rescue) and many other things.
As I mentioned above, she gives tips on how to make sure your pets diet, chews, and exercise will directly impact his/​her behavior, too.
I would absolutely recommend Anna! She is a very talented trainer and you will see great success from using her! Oh and the best part is that she comes to your house to do the training!

My husband was not previously a dog lover but upon going to the rescue, we both fell absolutely in love with our soon to be puppy– I might add THE single most energetic puppy in the joint. When I first laid eyes on Leo I knew he was going to be (ahem) «difficult». At the time that I met Anna at a local pet store, I had already decided to go with another local trainer that I’d heard great things about… but she seemed so knowledgeable that I decided to have a session with her. My little hellion seriously learned 5 tricks during the consultation session with Anna (I am not exaggerating). My husband who thought we could train him ourselves now has her number saved as «Anna the dog whisperer» in his phone. She has also boarded Leo for a very affordable price and worked with him during the day. I have no guilt leaving town knowing that he is in the best possible hands. I will use Anna as long as she will have me and Leo. He is now in puppy classes at another local training facility (only because Anna did not have a puppy training class at the time) and they said that he is the most well behaved dog in the class. :) Yay for Anna. She has changed the next 15 years of my life!

Anna is FANTASTIC! I have a leash aggressive large breed foster dog and we have enlisted the training of several trainers here in Atlanta to no avail. I was really beginning to doubt whether or not I was going to be able to adopt him out because he acted so poorly in public. Anna started working with him and after only two sessions, I can already tell a difference in his behavior while on the leash in public. I have great confidence that with continued sessions with Anna, he will be able to find his forever home.

THE most talented trainers I have ever met. Her positive reinforcement tactics are easy to learn & my dog has responded so well! I recommend her to everyone I know! My terrier is a huge barker and I would scream til I was blue in the face. He is so much better now and I have been trained on how to get him to listen. The knowledge of holistic remidies and nutrition has saved me from many vet visits. My marley is as healthy & happy as ever!
