Everyone wants a happy, well-behaved dog who’s great with visitors, relaxed around family, and comfortable around other dogs. But sometimes, dogs need a little extra help to get there. That’s where I come in.
Maybe your puppy is nipping, crying through the night, or digging up the garden. Perhaps your teenage dog has suddenly stopped listening, pulls on the lead, or is bouncing off the walls. You might be dealing with more serious behaviour issues like growling, food guarding, or lunging at people, cars, or other dogs. Or maybe you’ve adopted a rescue and feel unsure how to help them settle in, adjust, and feel safe.
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
At Buttons & Leash Dog Training & Behaviour, I offer one-to-one puppy and dog training across Horley, Surrey and surrounding areas. I use only kind, ethical, and science-based training methods that help you build trust, improve behaviour, and create lasting change in a way that feels right for both you and your dog.

"I can’t recommend Anthony enough!"
“As a first-time dog owner, I was nervous and unsure about how to properly train and understand my puppy. Anthony has been an absolute game changer. Every suggestion he’s made has worked, and the time and dedication he brings to each session truly shows his passion and deep care for dogs.”
Ashna & Yoshi

"He had some great ideas!"
“We enjoyed working with Anthony. He had some great ideas for helping my very anxious senior Chihuahua. He pointed out things I had never considered which allowed me to make changes going forward as Tallulah gets older. Thank you for all your help!”
Michala & Tallulah

"Anthony has been immensely helpful and so supportive."
“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.”

About Me
Hi, I’m Anthony, a qualified & experienced dog trainer & behaviourist.
I started Buttons & Leash in 2019, after struggling to find the right help for my Belgian Shepherd puppy, Tywin, who arrived with multiple behavioural issues after being rescued.
This struggle showed me just how difficult life with a challenging dog can be and how valuable it can be to work with someone who not only understands your struggles but can also guide you through them.
So, if you’re looking to work with someone who’s not only experienced but has also been in your shoes, you’re in the right place.
