It's been a pleasure working with you
I truly value the trust every dog parent places in me. Here's some of what people have kindly said after their dog's stayed, trained or spent the day with me.
What people are saying
A selection of our genuine 5-star reviews.
“A big thank you to Anita for a huge transformation in our staffie cross, Frankie. After 3 weeks of training I can now take her for a walk without being dragged around. Her behaviour indoors is much improved — no longer manic, just a nice calm dog. It's made a huge difference to our everyday lives.”
“Highly recommended by me and my dog, Toby! She is always so kind and accommodates Toby whenever she can — even at short notice. Very experienced in dog handling and care, and very reasonably priced.”
“Anita has eyes like a hawk and with her no-nonsense approach, saw and communicated lots of tweaks within the hour. As a very busy single parent, these hacks were priceless. Thank you Anita!”
“Our Rosie has been with Anita for day care for the last 8 months and we've noticed such wonderful changes in her — much better recall and generally much better behaved.”
“Anita is simply the best when it comes to training and boarding — so much so that we drive from London. We left our cavapoo Tallulah for three weeks and were returned a well-behaved puppy with “proper manners.””
“Amazing lady that has worked wonders with our Boxer puppy, now a fully grown well-behaved big dog! I would not trust anyone else with our dog — the dogs are her life.”
“Such a great dog expert. She has both walked and boarded my Weimaraners and they love her. I have known Anita for over 18 years and she is an absolute authority on the needs of dogs.”
“Anita has proven time and again to be an exceptional caregiver for our high-maintenance French Bulldog Arlo. From itchy ears to his protective temperament, her experience is evident.”
“Our 2 dogs have been walked by Anita for over 12 years now. That in itself is testament to how pleased we are. She cares passionately about our boys and indeed all animals.”
“We have used Paws4thoughtbrighton for over seven years. Always on time, always knowledgeable and someone completely trustworthy. We know our doggie is in safe hands.”
“We've been using Anita for our dog's walks and overnight boarding for the past year. Excellent communication and it's so good to know our dog is in safe and caring hands.”
“Anita has been looking after our Labrador, Obi, for day care and overnights ever since we relocated to Sussex. Obi trots off happily without a second glance when it's time to go to her.”

“100% Anita knows her stuff! Incredibly good with the dogs, knows the best way to train and help them and has helped massively with my two golden retrievers. She…”
“This service has been incredible in helping me train my dog out of her bad behaviour as well as teaching me how to change mine to encourage the right behaviour. A wonderful service!”

“Really happy with Anita’s training of my Labradoodle. Teddy had 3 weeks boarding with training and he is such a better behaved dog, everything Anita has done…”
“Although we’ve only been with Anita at Paws4thought for a year, with 3 stays plus 3 more booked, we immediately felt part of her canine family & wouldn’t want…”

“Anita’s great with our spaniel. Always accommodating and flexible around collection/drop off times. Highly recommended!”
