The Always Faithful Dog Training method is designed to maximize the unique communication between you and your dog.
Your dog is domesticated, but your pet is also a pack animal. As part of your “pack”, it’s up to you whether your dog leads or follows. Our leadership-based techniques will empower you to be the packleader.
Our private in-home lessons will address many common behavioral issues like leash pulling, jumping, barking, digging, and not listening.
No Treats, No Clickers, No Shock Collars, NO GIMMICKS
Real Training, Real Results
NOTE: I do provide Therapy Dog Training, but I DO NOT provide Service Dog Training. Thumbtack combines them as one service. Therapy Dog Training is for taking dogs to help patients at hospitals, kids at schools, seniors at a center, and the like. Service Dog Training is for helping the dog owner on a particular issue they have.

Hi, I’m Ana Maria — a dog trainer offering private, in-home lessons focused on real-world structure and relationship-based support. I work directly with clients in the environment where most dogs (and owners) struggle most: at home. My goal is to provide personalized, hands-on coaching that leads to lasting, confident behavior.
I specialize in aggression, leash reactivity, manners and obedience training, and psychiatric service dog preparation. Whether you're starting with a wild puppy or working through serious behavior issues, I tailor each program to your dog’s unique needs and your lifestyle.
I trained at the Tom Rose School for Professional Dog Trainers in 2018 and have spent the past 7 years working with dogs in both professional and volunteer roles. I’m currently a member of the International Association of Canine Professionals. I am pursuing certification through the IACP exam in June 2025 and membership with NADOI later in the year to continue deepening my expertise.
Raised in the Mid-Cities area, I’m a proud alum of the Trinity High School Girls Awareness Program supporting the local animal shelter, where my passion for mentorship and community leadership began. Today, I continue to foster dogs and volunteer for the Trinity GAP rescue.
My training style blends structure, empathy, and a little humor. I believe the best results come from teamwork — and that training should feel doable, not overwhelming.
