Welcoming a street dog into your home can be both exciting & overwhelming.
Usually when I work with an overseas rescue, it’s after problems have already started to appear. Barking at every little noise, unpredictable behaviour around people, reacting strongly to other dogs or simply seeming fearful of the world. Owners are left wondering what went wrong & more importantly how to make things better.
In those early weeks, it’s not just the dogs that struggle. Owners often feel unsure whether to comfort or ignore certain behaviours, worried about making things worse, or confused by conflicting advice. Even simple routines can feel daunting without clear guidance.
That repeated experience made me realise that owners need clear support from the very beginning.
That’s why I created the Settling In Program — to give you one trusted source of guidance during those crucial first days. It helps prevent common issues from escalating, supports your dog at their pace & gives you the confidence to know you’re doing the right thing.
Client Review
"Lola's gone from a timid dog who wouldn't go into the garden, let alone a walk, to a happy, confident dog."
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!
