Dog Sports Aren't Just For Competitors. They're For You And Your Dog.
Agility and dog sports are one of the fastest ways to build focus, confidence and a real bond with your dog, and you don't need a title or a trial record to start. Reward-based coaching for puppies, everyday life, and anyone curious about what their dog can do.
Does Any Of This Sound Familiar?
Most people who call Anna say some version of one of these.
"He has so much energy and I have no idea what to do with it. Walks aren't touching it."
"I feel like I repeat myself constantly and he just tunes me out."
"He's great at home and then completely forgets I exist the second we're outside."
"I've tried being patient and I've tried being strict. Neither one stuck."
"I assumed my dog just isn't the type for anything like this."
"He's nervous around new things and I don't want to push him the wrong way."
Almost none of this is the dog being difficult. It's usually a dog with more capacity than they've been given anything to do with, and a handler who was never shown how to ask. That's the gap the free call is for.
What Your Free Call Gets You
About 15 minutes on the phone with Anna. No cost, no pressure, and no obligation to sign up for anything.
A Read On Your Dog
Age, breed, energy, what they're already good at and what they struggle with. Anna will tell you honestly whether sports are a fit right now or whether something else comes first.
A Starting Point That Fits
Some dogs need confidence before obstacles. Some need focus around distractions. You'll leave knowing which one yours needs and why.
A Real Plan, Or A Straight No
If the program suits you, you'll know exactly what training looks like month to month. If it doesn't, Anna will say so and point you somewhere better.
Whatever You Want Out Of It
Not everyone who starts wants to compete, and that's completely fine. Training gets built around what you actually want.
Have Fun Together
A hobby you and your dog genuinely look forward to every week.
Build The Bond
Working as a team changes how your dog reads you, on and off the course.
Grow Confidence
For soft, nervous or shut-down dogs, new surfaces and challenges done right can shift a lot.
Compete If You Want
If the bug bites, there's a path to trialing. If it doesn't, you never have to.
Fourteen Years With Horses. Now She Does It With Dogs.
Anna grew up in the horse world and spent 14+ years training horses before a back injury took her out of the saddle. She found dog agility while figuring out what came next, and it turned out to be the thing she was built for.
She's one of the younger trainers in the dog-sports community around Nashville, which is exactly why her approach isn't gatekept. Everything is reward-based and play-based, because a dog that's having fun learns faster than one that's being corrected.
She's mobile: equipment travels in the car, sessions happen at Tower Park and other spots around Brentwood and Nashville, and the location adapts to what your dog needs to work on.
"Most people think their dog isn't the type. Usually the dog just hasn't been asked the right way."
What Training Actually Looks Like
Five things that tend to surprise people in the first month.
Foundation before speed
Nobody gets rushed onto equipment. Engagement, body awareness and confidence come first, because the dogs who skip that stage are the ones who stall out six months later.
Half of it is you
Your timing, where you're standing and what your hands are doing tell the dog more than the word you're saying. Most handlers have never been shown this, and it's usually the fastest thing to fix.
You'll be told why, not just what
Every exercise has a reason behind it, and Anna will explain it. Understanding the purpose is what lets you make good calls on your own between sessions.
You start where you are
There's no group to keep up with and no assumed baseline. If your dog can't hold focus for ten seconds at a park, that's the starting point and it's a fine one.
Small wins count as wins
Progress in dog sports is a stack of unglamorous ones: one clean rep, one recall away from a distraction. Training at a sustainable pace is what makes it hold.

Questions People Ask First
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. It's a phone call, roughly 15 minutes, with no card and no obligation. To be clear about what it is: it's a conversation, not a free training session. Anna uses it to work out whether the program is right for your dog before either of you commits to anything.
My dog is reactive, nervous or not very "sporty." Is this still for us?
Often yes, and that's a big part of why training happens at parks instead of a sterile facility. Confidence work is a normal part of what Anna does. On the call she'll be straight with you about whether sports are the right next step or whether something else should come first.
How old does my dog need to be?
Puppies are welcome, and early foundation work is some of the most valuable training you can do. Full-height jumping and repetitive impact work waits until a dog is physically ready, which Anna will talk through based on your dog's age and breed.
Do I need my own equipment?
No. Equipment access is included in the monthly program and Anna brings it to sessions. Nothing to buy before you start.
Where do sessions actually happen?
Tower Park in Brentwood is the main spot, plus other parks around Brentwood and the Nashville area depending on what your dog needs to work on. Anna is fully mobile and will recommend locations that suit your goals.
What does it cost?
The monthly program is $200/month and includes 5 lessons, equipment access and park sessions. There's no contract, and you can ask anything you want about it on the free call before deciding.
