Struggling with your dogs behaviour?
We all hope for a well-behaved dog—one that walks calmly on a leash, settles peacefully at home, and gets along with people and other dogs. But sometimes, reality looks very different, leaving you feeling stressed and overwhelmed instead of enjoying life with your dog.
Maybe your dog pulls, barks, or lunges during walks. Perhaps your new puppy’s nonstop energy, biting, and sleepless nights are wearing you out. Or your rescue dog is having a tough time adjusting, and you’re unsure how to help. No matter what you’re facing, one thing is certain—you love your dog, and you just need the right support.

The good news? With the right training and support, life with your dog can be enjoyable and stress-free.
That’s why choosing the right trainer to help you and your dog is so important. Not only are they responsible for training your dog but the advice and guidance they give you can have a massive impact on your life & your dogs for years to come.
So when it comes to choosing a trainer to work with, it’s important to choose someone who focuses on identifying the root cause(s) of your dog’s behaviour, rather than a ‘quick fix’ expert and someone who will treat your dog with kindness and compassion.
That’s where I come in.

ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Anthony Lennard, a qualified dog trainer and behaviourist
I set up Buttons & Leash after the unexpected arrival of Tywin in 2018, who came with an extreme fear of people & traffic, along with a rare birth defect. Thankfully, we were able to work through his issues and he became my work dog until he passed in 2024.
My experience with Tywin showed just how challenging life with a difficult dog can be and the importance of a bespoke and ethical approach. So if you need help with your dog and want to work with someone qualified, experienced and who has been in your shoes – I’d love to help.

“I would like to thank Anthony for helping me and my dog Bentley. Bentley is definitely a better dog. He’s not stressed, more relaxed and happier. I can now have other dogs in the house. I can walk where other dogs are. And many more things he can now do. Would I recommend Anthony? Definitely without a second thought. Thank you so very much”

HOW I TRAIN
My Dog Training Philosophy
Bespoke
Any training or behaviour support will be specific to you and your dog.
Ethical
Only up-to-date, science based training methods will be used and taught.
Effective
Our training methods are proven to work in the real world.

“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 🙂”
