⸻ We did the puppy package with Frankie (3 sessions), and I honestly feel like it set both me and Miso up for long-term success. Frankie has such a calm, encouraging presence and a way of explaining things that actually makes sense in real life—not just during the session, but at home afterward too. Each session felt thoughtful, personalized, and really focused on building a strong foundation rather than quick fixes. Frankie helped me understand why certain techniques work, which made me feel confident continuing the training on my own. Miso responded so well, and I could see progress even between sessions. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares, meets you where you are, and empowers you to be a better dog parent, I can’t recommend Frankie enough. I’m so grateful we started Miso’s training journey this way—it made all the difference

Frankie has provided a priceless level of support over many years for my small petcare business. While being skilled with training for safety in my walks with recall, free release, impulse control among other risks that are constantly assessed while I’m out with my dogs, if there’s ever a speed bump along the way, Frankie has always been there to help and guide me through to get the best of my own performance potential, as well as my client pets too. Thanks to Frankie and Animist’s support, I am able to confidently handle my client dogs and keep myself, the dogs, and the general public safe no matter what comes our way. Frankie has this way with dogs that is truly magical and spectacular to see.

Fantastic service by Frankie. We got in touch with animist to address issues we were having with our dog Koda's 'selective reactivity'. We booked an initial consultation which consisted of Frankie learning about Koda's character, listening to the issues we were having, accompanying us on a walk with Koda, and an introduction to training drills. During & after the session, the wealth of knowledge and tailored advice we were given by Frankie was brilliant, not only on how to address the specific problem but also how we could improve Koda's overall enrichment through communication, engagement, food etc. We couldn't be happier with this experience. Highly recommended - Thank you!

Frankie was amazing help with my 10 month old puppy Nancy. Super knowledgeable and had such a professional manner when guiding our training session! Nancy loved him and I can’t wait to implement what we went over in our session.

Very professional and friendly, well informed, was patient with us while telling us what we needed to do. He was knowledgeable and interacted with the dogs in a fun and engaging way while still guiding on how to correct unwanted behaviour
