Separation Anxiety

Your Instructor and Coach

Anji Barton

Hi there, I’m Anji! I’m an experienced and certified professional dog trainer (CPDT-KA, CTDI) and Certified Separation Anxiety Pro™️ Behavior Consultant.
As a full-time professional dog trainer, I dedicate my life to helping dogs and their owners build stronger, happier relationships. With a deep understanding of Applied Behvioural Analysis, I’ve helped countless dogs overcome behaviour problems and learn all kinds of new skills. I’m a firm believer in positive reinforcement training methods and I’ve seen firsthand the amazing transformations that can occur when dogs are trained with love, patience, and consistency (and science!).
I’m excited to share my knowledge and expertise with you through my online dog training courses and membership, where I aim to help you understand your pupper, enhance your relationship, solve problems, and achieve your training goals.
I’m based out of Toronto but I teach people and their dogs all over the world.

Angela & Arlo

We absolutely loved Anji Barton! Her expertise and guidance on positive reinforcement training for reactive dogs was excellent. Her was very clear and encouraging in training us to training our dog = we had been at wits end for seeing any improvement. Anji gave us both hope that things could change and a map to make this change. We would highly recommend Anji.

Amrit, Shalin & Lilah

Anji is magic, I've never seen someone as a stranger enter my home and my dog just does what she says, our dog, Lilah, who had been rambunctiously demand barking before she met Anji, somehow turned into a quite and obedient dog inside the house in 4 sessions.
Anji is very knowledgeable and teaches you how to train your dog and works with both, the owners and the dog. Anji never used force or harsh corrections, and she taught Lilah to follow commands with such ease and love, just her presence is somehow enough for dogs to just understand what we want and expect.
Thanks you so much Anji for being the best teacher for our naughty Lilah. We got the basic training but I am sure we will reach out soon for some more advanced stuff, best dog trainer in Toronto! <3

Peter, Matt & Toast

Anji is caring and considerate, offering a tailored plan for our dog Toast, as well as a training plan and resources for work to do in-between sessions. We saw a big improvement from our 4 session package with Toast’s temperament, polite greeting, loose leash walking, manners, and recall. We will definitely sign up for further lessons. It’s very convenient that anji comes to our condo and sees our dog in our environment. I can tell she really cares for our dog, and vice versa. The price point is well worth it for individual lessons, in your own home.

Michelle & Summer

Anji is fantastic. Her professionalism, patience, techniques and her pure love of dogs was evident in each visit. She made sure we understood each new technique, but was always available for extra support. After each visit, Anji sent us additional tips, tricks and Google links for our use. Our puppy Summer was a handful at times, but Anji was always in control. She just had a way of calming her down to focus. We will continue to be consistent in using Anji’s techniques as we already see a huge difference in Summer’s behaviour. I highly recommend Anji’s services.

Yeseul, Andres & Oli

We had the doggo manner package class with Anji and the outcome is amazing! What we really liked about her training is, she will make the training plan very personal. She will communicate with us what we would like to work on and make the plan as we progress in the training. She was also very quick to respond to our questions besides the training session and sent us lots of tips and videos that you can watch at home. Also, her way of training is very gentle and calm which we really appreciate. If anyone is looking for a trainer who enforces positive dog trainer that works, we would definitely suggest you to go for it!
