Welcome to Choose to Train Humane

Trauma-Informed Training with Annie Phenix

Why Choose to Train Humane?

Dogs have feelings and emotions just as we do. It is our responsibility to learn everything about dogs so that we can meet our furry friend’s species-specific needs. 

A dog’s life is short and it’s up to us to gift him a life of fun, love and joy. 

Canine professional Annie Phenix brings her 25 years of living with dogs and solving their real-world problems to her supportive, private communities designed just for dog guardians, canine professionals and shelter/rescue professionals.

Our Values:

  • We put a premium on having gold standard ethics in our work with dogs and fellow humans. 
  • We never use tools or protocols designed to harm dogs. 
  • We choose to treat dogs every day with kindness, compassion and love. 
  • Annie Phenix will put the needs and welfare of dogs at the forefront of the community. 
  • She believes that dogs have welfare rights and their own canine desires and we owe dogs a great life in which they are allowed to learn what we need from them with love and compassion and never with harm. 
  • Annie’s ethics are never for sale and she is never afraid to advocate for kind treatment of dogs. She chooses kindness every day.
