Build Focus, Confidence & A Better Bond. Train Through Play.
Reward-based training for puppies, dog sports and agility — with in-person coaching around Nashville and virtual lessons available from anywhere.
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."

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 consultation 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?
Ask Anna during your consultation what equipment is needed for the program you choose. She will help you understand what to bring before your first session.
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?
Pricing depends on the training option you choose. Anna will walk you through the current program and lesson pricing during your free consultation before you decide anything.
Do you offer virtual training?
Yes. Virtual lessons are available through Zoom, so you can work with Anna even if you are outside the Nashville area.
