About
Canine Behaviour Guernsey is a business formed in 2017 and is owned by Anna Jane Brehaut. She practices and advocates only the latest and modern techniques of training and behaviour modification and does so with the dog's relationship with its owner at the forefront of her mind. Focusing on a 'hands off' approach, Anna's training and modification programmes are tailored to the individual, concentrating on motivation and positive reinforcement techniques. Her methods move far away from old-fashioned techniques, which use negative force and physical punishment.
The company's motto represents what Anna is all about - teaching our pups how we would like them to behave using kindness and understanding.

Who am I?
Hello everyone, my name is Anna Jane Brehaut. Ever since I was born, I have had a passion for animals. Part growing up on a farm, from a very early age , I was caring for and looking after many different animals. From horses, to rabbits, cats and of course dogs, I have had a wide-range of experience with many different species. One species I have always loved though, and have always wanted to work with, is dogs.
Prior to me getting my now five-year-old Cockapoo pup, Murphy, I did a wide-range of research into training, as I wanted to make sure I got it right. When Murphy arrived, he came with a tendency to resource guard, a problem some would label as being possessive. This issue led me to continue my research and with so much conflicting advice out there, it fuelled my interest into behaviour training and modification even more.
My passion for training through kindness and understanding has continued to grow ever since. It has led me to study a Level 3 Diploma in Canine Behaviour Training, which I passed with distinction, and to further extend my knowledge through a Level 4 Advanced Diploma with the British College of Canine Studies. For the past four years, I have been assisting the GSPCA as a volunteer with their six-week puppy beginner training classes..
I have completed a First Aid course for dogs, an Institute of Modern Dog Trainers' course in aggression and rehabilitation as well as one in canine body language. I have attended the UK College of Scent Dog's Scent and the Assistance Dog course and the School of Canine Science's 30 Days of Canine Science. I am a proud member of the Pet Professional Network and I'm insured through Petplan Sanctuary. I am also a member and contributor to the Canine Principles Skill Hub.
Two years ago, the Canine Behaviour Guernsey family grew with the arrival of Holly, a beautiful red cockapoo. I now want to share all the knowledge and experience I have acquired over this time with you. In short, I know how hard it is when you have a dog with an unwanted behaviour - and I know how frustrating it is when you keep getting conflicting advice. I want all dog owners to have the very best of relationships with their pets - and I want all dogs to feel fulfilled, satisfied and happy.
Love your dog, enjoy your dog,
Anna Jane Brehaut

A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if your rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary?
