Meet Anna Johnson

Anna is a Canine Nutritionist and a professional Dog Trainer. She has has been actively involved in many aspects of the canine community including rescue, nutrition, training, transporting, temperament testing, health care and alternative medicines. With a background in Animal Sciences from the University of Hawaii, she has been teaching people about optimal nutrition for their pets for almost eight years and continues to educate herself and stay up-to-date on anything and everything to do with canine health. Of course, her talent doesn't end there. Her knowledge of animals is vast and includes an array of experiences, such as:

Working with zoos and private exotic rescues on nutritional standards and habitats for the animals
Studying the health and habitats of marine life in the wild
Studying and rescuing wild sea turtles
Working with humane societies and private rescues on training and nutrition of dogs and cats (including her own private non-profit rescue)
Handling care and feeding of birds at the World Center for Birds of Prey

Anna also started and ran a private non-profit rescue for Neapolitans and other Rare Breed Mastiffs. Breeds such as; Cane Corsos, Neapolitan Mastiffs, Dogues, and Filas hold a special place in her heart and she enjoys working with them very much, in part because they are so often misunderstood! Anna is currently 'owned' by two big, gooey Neapolitan Mastiffs—Eros, an eight year old tawny male (right) and Eudora, a seven year old blue female (left). Both Eros and Eudora are neutered and spayed, respectively, and very much enjoy their life as companion animals.
