Overseas Rescue Dog Support in Redhill, Surrey
Specialist behaviour support for ex-street dogs in Surrey, West Sussex & Kent
Welcoming an ex-street dog into your life can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be extremely challenging.
Sudden behaviour changes can occur, confusing owners who thought things were going well. Or behavioural issues such as aggression, fear or unexplained anxiety can develop over time, often not responding to traditional dog training methods, leaving owners unsure how to help them.
Here’s the thing: overseas rescue dogs are different. Unlike your friendly neighbourhood golden retriever who was bred to be friendly, these dogs have (usually) been born on the streets & raised by mother nature, whose only focus is survival and safety.
That's why working with someone who understands overseas rescues and their behaviour is important.
Based in Redhill, Surrey and covering Surrey, West Sussex and Kent, I provide specialist behavioural services for ex-street dogs, focused on problem prevention and lasting behaviour change.
"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! Lola's gone from a timid dog who wouldn't go into the garden, let alone a walk, to a happy, confident dog."

Why Choose Me to Help Your Rescue Dog?
Many overseas rescue owners find themselves struggling to understand their dog’s behaviour. Street dogs often think & react differently to UK dogs, and what may look like “bad behaviour” is often just their way of coping in a world that feels unfamiliar. Without the right support, this can leave owners feeling confused, frustrated or doubting whether they’re doing the right thing for their dog.
I realised that overseas rescue dogs need a different approach from the methods that usually work with UK dogs. This led me to study with Meesh Masters (The Dog’s Point of View), learning about overseas street dogs & their quirky ways. In 2022, I completed my studies & became a Romanian Rescue Pro Trainer.

Unfortunately, no one can guarantee a completely smooth transition when it comes to an overseas rescue dog but there is a lot we can do to reduce the chances of behavioural issues from occurring later down the road.
What I can guarantee is a proactive, structured approach with guidance based on years of experience to help you avoid common pitfalls and support your rescue confidently.
All the methods and recommendations suggested in rescue preparation are force-free and take into account the unique behaviour that comes with an overseas rescue dog.
Then you’re in luck! I offer two specific programmes for overseas rescue dogs;
Settling In: This is a 1:1 programme designed to give owners support and guidance when it comes to helping their rescue adjust to their new life and navigate any challenges that may arise, without having to wing it.
Behaviour Support: Sometimes things go wrong and owners need help understanding their rescue’s behaviour. This programme is for owners who already have their rescue dog and need help resolving behavioural issues.
People who purchase Rescue Preparation get a special discount on both of the above programmes - this is available in the learning hub.
Yes - both 'Settling In Support' and 'Behaviour Support' can be paid either in full or in instalments. You can make the choice at the checkout.
Additional sessions can be purchased at a discounted rate.
