Life with a dog should be fun. If it isn't, something is wrong.
We all dream of having the perfect dog—one that’s great on walks, well-behaved at home, sociable with other dogs, and polite around people. Unfortunately, we don’t always get what we want and life with your dog can quickly become stressful and overwhelming. Whether it’s the stress of sleepless nights and endless biting from your new puppy, the dread of another walk with unpredictable dog, or the uncertainty of not knowing how to help your rescue dog adjust to their new life – resolving these issues can seem impossible.
Â
You might start to question what you’re doing wrong or wonder if things will ever improve.Â
Â
But the good news is, you’re not alone—and change is possible. With the right guidance and support, you can transform your dog’s behaviour and have the life you’ve always wanted. That’s where I come in.
Hi there! I'm Anthony - a qualified dog trainer & behaviourist.
I founded Buttons & Leash after the unexpected arrival of Tywin in 2018. He came with an extreme fear of people and traffic, along with a rare birth defect that affected him throughout his life. Unfortunately, I struggled to find professional help that truly made sense, so I began studying and learned how to help him myself.
Â
Thankfully, we were able to work through his challenges, and he became my stooge dog until he passed in 2024. My experience with Tywin showed me just how difficult life with a challenging dog can be—and how crucial it is to work with someone who not only understands your struggles but can also guide you through them.
Â
So, if you’d like to work with someone who’s not only experienced but has also been in your shoes, you’re in the right place.
“Anthony has been immensely helpful and so supportive with my 18 month old Vizsla. We started off with one issue and as ever with young dogs these things evolve but nothing is too much trouble!
Anthony’s breadth of experience dealing with frustration and reactivity helps me feel reassured there is light at the end of the adolescent tunnel and that I don’t have to avoid situations any longer! Not only are the sessions innovative and effective Anthony is always on hand with words of encouragement. Highly recommended!”

Dynamic Dog Assessments
My Dog Training Philosophy
Comprehensive
Your dog's behaviour, environment & history will be assessed to identify the root cause(s) of their behaviour.
Bespoke
All training & advice is specific to you & your dog - there's no cookie cutter approach here.
Ethical
I only use force-free, science based methods. That means NO fear or pain is used to train your dog.
Effective
The training methods we use are proven to work in the real world whilst being easy to learn.
“Working with Anthony has surpassed all of our expectations! His experiences with rescues (we have a 5 month staff cross) has been invaluable in helping Olive get back on her feet. He is kind, extremely knowledgeable and always happy to help in any way possible with a variety of solutions to the same situation depending on your dogs needs and personality. Puppy classes did not work for Olive hence why we started 1:1s with Anthony, Olive has come on leaps and bounds in just 8 weeks and I am really looking forward to continuing our training bi weekly. Hand on heart, I couldn’t recommend it enough and I truly believe you won’t regret it 🙂”
