Hi, I’m Annie Phenix

“Puppies need nurture before they need training.”

I’m a professional dog trainer with 25+ years of experience and author of two bestselling books:

📖 The Midnight Dog Walkers: Positive Training and Practical Advice for Living With Reactive and Aggressive Dogs

📖 Positive Training for Aggressive and Reactive Dogs

I understand the impact of fear and stress on both dogs and humans – because I’ve lived it.

When I adopted my two Heeler brothers, Finn and Cooper, they were malnourished, traumatized, and completely shut down.

They barked, growled, and hid from everything.

Even as a professional trainer, I felt overwhelmed.

So I threw out everything I thought I knew and dove deep into science-backed, force-free training methods, focusing on nurture, trust, and emotional safety before anything else.

The result? A complete transformation.

Extensive in breadth and depth, Positive Training for Aggressive and Reactive Dogs is an essential resource for anyone dealing with a dog’s behavioral and emotional welfare. Annie has included a wealth of advice and guidance for dog owners and professionals alike from a cross-selection of industry professionals.  This is a must-have resource for those working to manage and rehabilitate reactive dogs. I highly recommend you get your copy now.
