About Us

Dog training will certainly be more successful if you incorporate your dogs into your family's life style.

 

Anne has always enjoyed dogs and says she feels very fortunate to be in the "positive" dog training profession. Anne has worked with dogs for the past 20 plus years along with careers in teaching and in the corporate environment. She is now pursuing her true love full time training dogs and coaching their owners.

 

Anne's family in Vienna revolves around her husband, Gene, and their three dogs. Rudy and Cooper are both rescue dogs and Rudy has partnered with Anne in several ways. He is a demo dog for training purposes and he also enjoys going with Anne to visit with groups of children as they talk about dog safety. Be sure to see Rudy's books: "RUDY'S FRIENDS" and "BE SAFE WITH RUDY AND HIS FRIENDS." See below for our new addition, Little Missie.

 

We are proud to belong to the International Association of Canine Professionals, IACP: www.dogpro.org, and also to the                Association of Pet Dog Trainers, APDT: www.apdt.com.

 

Rudy's Friends is pleased to be sponsoring a dog sheltered at the

Friends of Homeless Animals, FOHA: www.foha.org.

 

 

Our dogs are a huge part of our family. We enjoy eating at outdoor restaurants with them at the beach.

 

 

 

Cooper also has fun learning agility skills.
