About us
Hi, I’m Anja!
I’m the human behind DogNerd, and I’m passionate about helping people better understand their dogs and build lasting, positive relationships with them.
If you’re struggling with a dog who has “big feelings”—whether it’s anxiety, reactivity, or other challenging behaviours—you’re not alone. I’ve been there myself, and I know how overwhelming and isolating it can feel. The good news? It doesn’t have to stay that way.
At DogNerd, my mission is to help dedicated dog owners like you transform your relationship with your dog. Together, we’ll work through your dog’s challenges and build the trust and understanding you both need to thrive. My approach is grounded in patience, compassion, and practical strategies that get real results.
I’m here to make sure you feel supported every step of the way—no quick fixes, just thoughtful, sustainable solutions tailored to your dog’s unique needs.
Ready to take the next step in your journey together? Let’s connect and start building the bond you’ve always imagined.

Given the dedication required to provide each dog and their owner with the personalised attention and training they need, I am only able to work with a limited number of clients at any given time. I sincerely believe in offering my services only when I am confident in my ability to deliver the outcomes you're seeking for your dog.
