Hi, I'm Vanessa

Founder & Head Trainer

Over 10 years ago, I started Dog Training by Vanessa because I saw too many dog owners struggling and too many trainers making things unnecessarily complicated.

My approach is simple: real-life training for real-life owners. That means training that actually works where it matters most — at home, on walks, at the park, and in everyday life with your dog.

My promise: Clear communication. Kind methods. Real-world results that last.
