Choose to Train Humane: Dog Behavior Expert & Puppy Specialist

when I brought home 2 malnourished traumatized littermates from a shelter in Vermont, I was convinced that they would eventually be my hiking buddies. This was never to be. I was searching for help understanding what I did not. It seemed that solutions around me only involved pain, fear and intimidation. In my search and luckily being a moderator where she was interviewed, I found The Midnight Dog Walker and the incredible Annie Phenix. Her book 📕 was so refreshing to read. I was hooked on this lady who truly cares about the welfare of dogs, the people who love them as well as the humans who teach others how to help them. Annie rocks. We are so lucky to have her in the dog world. She plays so many important roles and always makes a difference in the lives of dogs. ❤️‍🩹🐾

I have one dog reactive foster and a very special mildly neurotic and very traumatized dog from events early in her life. I’ve shelled out thousands of dollars for local trainers in LA over the past few years, and I still have the same issues. That all changed when I found Annie by reading her book and reached out for a consult. She brought in techniques I’d never heard of and had simple suggestions that changed our lives. My dogs knew sit and shake and down, but they were still struggling mentally. Annie brings in a whole body approach, considering lifestyle, health, environmental factors! And it works! Within the first few sessions, I started to see changes in my dogs. They are calmer, happier, more playful, and it feels like I’ve done right by them. My one dog can relax now! Thank you Annie for helping me help my dogs through their trauma! Dog trainers who can truly transform are incredibly rare, and she is one!

I have learned so much from Annie at Choose to Train Humane. Mindset shifts have been life changing for me and my rescue dog. Annie is knowledgeable, dedicated and truly humane. She has earned her status as an expert in the field through learning the hard way with her own dogs before she knew better but also through studying and collaborating with others.
