My name is Anniina and I’m the owner of Eazy Dog Training. It is a pleasure to meet you!

I am both a qualified dog trainer and a member of the NSW pet educator team. As a pet educator I travel to primary schools and child care centres with my own border collies, Sansa and Leeloo, to educate children on how to be safe with dogs and how to safely interact with them. Both of my dogs have been temperament testes and we compete in Rally Obedience, agility and trick training. I have also run community training lessons for Randwick council.

I have a dog training diploma from a private dog training school in Finland. I graduated 2012 top of my class. My studies were all face-to-face training classes instead of online as so often is the case nowadays and  included understanding canine behaviour and learning different training techniques. We also studied how to prevent problems, how to teach and train people and how to run dog training classes.

Ever since a child I’ve always been passionate about dog training, my favourite book was the big book of different dog breeds that I read over and over while dreaming of owning a dog.

Over the years I have attended countless training seminars and workshops including the most recent The Big Two! Aggression & Separation Anxiety Conference 2023 with Mike Shikashio and Dr Moira Hechenleitner. Shk, the yearly Dog Behaviour Conference (UK based) and multiple workshops with the talented animal trainer Kelly Gill. I have trained at many training clubs for agility and obedience training and read a lot of books about canine behaviour. I’m also keeping myself updated on the latest training by checking the latest studies on the subject.

I started dog training with my own dogs in 2009, focusing on competitive obedience and I’ve been a professional dog trainer since 2012. I have over 10 years’ experience in competing in obedience, agility, tracking and dog shows in Finland. I have trained multiple dog sports with my own dogs from dog shows to advanced obedience, agility, tracking, nosework and trick training.

Here in Australia I started my career by working as a full-time dog trainer in two different dog daycares before starting my own business. I have also attended both Concord dog training club and Picsi.

As a trainer, I’ve always felt that I’ve learnt best from other trainers.

Not only what works but also what doesn’t work. There are many different types of trainers out there and learning dog training methods through training your own dog is a very important aspect of becoming a great trainer yourself. That’s why I’ve always been a part dog training clubs and taken part in many training seminars and courses. I am also an online member for agility and Rally Obedience training at all times. I’m a member of PICSI agility training club and Sydney All Breed Dog Training Club, a Certified Member of the Pet Professional Guild (PPG) and a Supporting Member of the International Association of Animal Behaviour Consultants (IAABC). I’m a positive dog trainer who uses positive reinforcement training techniques.

I hold a very high standard for my business which you can see from our Google reviews, we are one of the rare trainers in Sydney with over 200 5-star Google reviews. All my employees working for me are qualified dog trainers with years of training experience.

Currently I have one trainer in my team. His name is Peter and he is a qualified and experienced Delta trainer. He owns two Jack Russels and has been competing in agility and running a dog training club Picsi for over a decade.
