Anke joined Canine Behavioural School as an Aspiring Instructor (CBS AI Program) in April 2021 and started instructing her own classes in April 2022. During this time, she also volunteered with the RSPCA Dog Training. Her passion for dogs started in Mid 2020 when she joined the puppy raising program of Guide Dogs SA. However, her last puppy, a beautiful yellow Labrador named Clover, decided to quit the workforce at an early age and is enjoying life as her and her husband’s pet.

Anke is passionate about the welfare and health of our canine companions, always looking at the dog’s emotions first. She is always eager to learn more, especially how we can enrich our dog’s life and how we can create a safe environment for them to express their innate behaviours and personalities to prevent behavioural issues. Cooperative care and consent play a huge role in how she is making more space for brining agency into a dog’s life.

Anke has attained her Canine Training Technician – Accredited credential, is a Canine Enrichment Technician, has a Certificate in Basic Canine Nutrition and is a certified Canine Nose Work® Instructor (CNWI) who is currently holding classes for Sleuth Houndz.
