About
Anna McBrady
Certified, Collaborative and Compassionate.
I’m the owner of Praise and Pawsper Dog Training, a KPA Certified Training Partner (CTP) and Certified Anti-Predation Substitution Training Instructor (PST-CI) through Simone Mueller. I’ve worked professionally with dogs since 2018 and started my business in 2020 to help dogs—especially those who are young, fearful, or reactive—build confidence and real-world skills through positive, science-based training and enrichment.
I specialize in predation-based behaviors, leash manners (including reactivity), and public manners, helping clients with skills like loose leash walking, recall, off-leash reliability, and calm behavior in everyday environments. Since 2023, I’ve also been a trainer at Kinship Dogs in North Bend, WA, where I continue to grow my hands-on experience with a wide variety of dogs and behavior challenges. Based in Redmond, WA, I’m passionate about helping dogs and their humans enjoy more freedom, confidence, and connection.
