Ann has helped us all so much and we’re grateful. The human training was important to enable Pepper to grow, and to trust us. After we adopted Pepper as a rescue, we began trying to deal with many indoor accidents and other behavioral problems. We have progressed to seeing a reasonably behaved, happy dog, full of energy, who is relaxed and very affectionate. We’ll be back to visit for more nose work. Thank you so much Ann!

Ann is very knowledgeable and can assist with a variety of issues, manners, reactivity and behavior modification. She is a wonderful K9 Nose Work instructor as well, and can help your dog become a nose work rockstar! She has really helped me problem solve some confidence issues my dog and I were having in K9 Nose Work. I highly recommend Ann to anyone!

Ann is a wonderful, kind, and skilled trainer. She fosters trust with positive, science based training and helps handlers know why things work. We started with K9 Nosework to give my senior an activity to keep her engaged and it turned out to be the best idea, giving her a new outlook and teaching us a sport she can do forever. She still plays at 16 and so does her 12 year old sister!

Ann is an outstanding instructor. We received all our levels of Nose Work training from her and her team. She is very knowledgeable, professional, patient & encouraging. Her approach with dogs is very positive & engaging, making her a sought out favorite as they entered the building. Our Golden Retriever progressed from novice through all the training levels, ultimately working in an advanced class offering various challenging & unique searching environments. He went on to title in Nose Work with NACSW. I highly recommend her!!

I first began working with Ann about 7 years ago. The first nose work sessions were for a foster dog that had significant fear issues that resulted in fear biting. Nose work turned out to be a very good addition to the plan for him. It helped him build confidence and learn to work through some times of frustration by solving the “puzzles” nose work provided for him. In the years that followed Ann assisted our rescue group in many ways with the dogs in our care. She educated our foster team as well in better ways of communicating with their fosters. I also participated in nose work and training with my own dogs. Ann is highly skilled and takes great care in the services she provides to her clients.

Ann is the best. My dog, Sasha, is a 2 year old rescue. Female Lhasa Apso. I got her about 6 months ago. She had very little socialization previous and was very fearful. She participated in a nose work class. First day her legs were visibly shaking in fear. But she loved the class and it gave her so much confidence. We’ve also done a few private behavior classes with Ann. It’s made a huge difference in Sasha’s happiness. I highly recommend Ann and Sound Dog Connection. She’s extremely knowledgeable and a lot of fun to work with. We’ve had great results…and fun. Did I mention fun?
