ANIMIST
About Us:
With over a decade of professional experience, Animist specialises in rescue dogs and severe behavioural challenges, including reactivity and complex aggression cases.
We deliver solution-focused, results-driven training built on a deep understanding of canine behaviour—far beyond standard obedience work.
​
Our approach equips you with the clarity, confidence, and tools to create lasting change, not quick fixes.
This expertise forms the foundation of our long-term vision: establishing Belfast’s first kennel-free dog sanctuary for dogs who need rehabilitation, not confinement.

GURANTEE
We stand fully behind the Reset Protocol. When clients commit to the process, follow the guidance provided, and engage as required, we expect measurable improvement—because that’s what this work is designed to deliver.
If you put the work in and meaningful progress isn’t achieved, we’ll continue working with you at no additional cost until it is, or refund your investment. Simple as that.
TESTIMONIALS
Don't just take our word for it:
Media recognition is gratifying—but what matters most is the real-world change our clients experience. Seeing dogs confidently walk through busy streets after weeks, months, or even years of struggle is the true measure of success. The feedback and testimonials from past and present clients are what drive Animist forward.
