About Anna
Anna has been active in dog sports since 2003. After training in Obedience, Tricks, Flyball and Rally Obedience, she now focuses solely on Agility. She became a trainer in 2010 and has been teaching ever since. Anna regularly attends seminars with well-known instructors to gain new knowledge. She is also an approved trainer by the German veterinary chamber. Anna celebrated countless successes with her own dogs nationally and internationally. In 2019 Anna became European Open Team Champion with her Border Collie May.
In 2016 Anna founded Agility Campus, her own agility training company. Her coaching is individually suited for every team. A wide span of games and exercises from motivation to impulse control are part of her repertoire. As every team is different, there are no one size fits all solutions. Rather Anna coaches every team to find the best solution to reach their individual goal. This is why beginners as well as seasoned competitors are welcome to her online courses. A special consideration for adequate exercises for young dogs is a priority for Anna. She always puts the dogs' wellbeing first.
Anna's knowledge from her degrees in Psychology, Educational Science and E-Learning are crucial for planning and presenting her trainings. The combination of psychological and pedagogical knowledge serves as the foundation for sustained learning in human and dogs.
For effective learning, a save and stress-free atmosphere is important. For this reason, Anna likes to use the method of shaping to teach new behaviors. Alternative methods are presented for students who are less clicker-savvy.
