About

Bry-Anne Swanepoel

Hi, I'm Bry-Anne — a COAPE Certified Animal Behaviourist holding a Diploma in Dog Behaviour Therapy (DipCABT-D) and the C.C.A.B. designation, based in Johannesburg, South Africa. I work with dogs and their families to address behavioural challenges and build lasting, meaningful bonds.

My approach is rooted in the latest ethology and learning science — positive, force-free, and always led by your dog's individual needs. I believe every dog deserves to be understood, not just managed.

Whether you're navigating reactivity, fear, aggression, or simply want to give your dog the best start in life, I'm here to walk that path alongside you.

Client Stories

What Clients Say

Bry-Anne completely transformed our walks. Max used to lunge at every dog we passed — after six weeks we can actually enjoy ourselves. Incredible patience and expertise.

Sarah & Max

Border Collie

We adopted Luna as a fearful rescue and didn't know where to start. Bry-Anne gave us the tools and the confidence to help her bloom. We couldn't be more grateful.

David & Luna

Rescue Mix

Charlie was a lovable chaos machine. Now he has proper manners AND still has his personality. Bry-Anne makes training genuinely enjoyable for dog and owner alike.
