Rescue dogs require a unique approach.
Fear of people, incredibly high prey drive, aggression towards other dogs, guarding of people, places & food are just some of the challenges you may be facing. Dealing with them can sometimes also be extremely challenging too. The good news is with the right approach, some understanding and lots of patience, you can help your dog.
Working with a dog trainer who has long-standing experience working with rescue dogs is imperative to being able to achieve results. Rescue dogs can be harder to train due to their past experience so enlisting a qualified, rescue specialist such as myself that can call upon years of experience is incredibly useful in achieving stress-free results.
Through working with both UK and overseas reaches, I have learned that most overseas rescues have had a drastically different learning experience compared to UK dogs, which often causes behavioural issues that confuse and frustrate owners. Resolving these issues often requires a different approach to traditional training.
That is why in 2022, I became a ‘Romanian Rescue Pro Trainer’ learning from the wonderful Meesh Masters. The purpose of this course was to help me learn more about the unique personalities and behaviour quirks that overseas rescue dogs can have.
“Anthony is brilliant – so personable and knowledgeable! We reached out to him to help us conquer some ‘undesirable’ behaviours in our rescue dog, Nellie. He got back to us super quickly and was honest about what to expect from training. We liked how he always asked us what we wanted to get out of each session and came into our home with so much knowledge on innovative and modern dog-training techniques. Not only that, his experience helped him to identify that her eyesight was not as good as it should be – after a diagnosis, he provided us with some research on training partially blind dogs and used this in our future sessions. We have come away from our sessions more confident in what Nellie needs to be happy and settled. Also…Nellie made a best friend for life (not just because of the squeezy cheese and hot dogs)!!!”

WHAT'S INCLUDED
Training Program Breakdown
2 Hour Initial Session
The initial assessment allows me to get a clearer understanding of your dogs issue(s) and the potential reason(s) for them. This is usually done at your home (if safe to do so) and will cover every aspect of your dogs life.
A Basic Movement & Posture Analysis
Dog behavioural issues are often caused or made worse by underlying pain. This analysis will help us identify if there are any physical issues affecting your dog.
Tailored Training Plan
The training plan you receive will be tailored to you and your dog. It will be designed to help you make progress as quickly and efficiently as possible.
1 Hour Follow-up Training Sessions
Follow-up training sessions are there to help you move through your training plan and make your dogs behaviour change last.
Private Community
You’ll get lifetime access to a private group of other B&L clients who are going through the same thing as you. This is a place where you can vent, get support and make friends.
Lifetime Support
Before, during & after our time working together, you’ll have 24/7 access to me. That means you’ll be able to contact me regarding any issues or questions you have.
“We chose Anthony for 1-1 training for our Romanian rescue puppy, Lola. We were first time dog owners and Anthony’s calm and no-nonsense approach was really great for helping us through the anxieties which come with that. Anthony had some great suggestions on how to reconfigure our house to help Lola settle into life with 2 slightly timid cats, and his advice on toilet training was a godsend! The guides on the app are super helpful, and having a direct line via whatsapp is great for anything that crops up between sessions. Lola’s gone from a timid dog who wouldn’t go into the garden, let alone a walk, to a happy confident (but still wary!) dog with lots of friends and a great relationship with one of the cats – still working on the other one! Would highly recommend Buttons & Leash!”
