With tears in my eyes and so much gratitude in my heart, I finally get to share this…
Soul Healing Canine is a 2026 Best of Tennessee award winner! 🏆🧡
We are the only dog trainer in Southeast Tennessee to bring home this recognition for 2026. Just over one year back in business full time, in our very first year being nominated, and our clients are the reason we are here.
Before I say anything else, I want to recognize the work YOU do.
I can teach, guide, encourage, and help you build a plan. But you are the ones practicing after the lesson ends. You make time in your busy lives to follow through. You work through the frustrating days, ask questions, make adjustments, and keep showing up for your dogs.
You learn to recognize what your dog needs while becoming more aware of your own habits, emotions, and responses. That takes patience, honesty, and a willingness to grow. I see that effort, and I hope you know how proud I am of you.
Every calmer walk, successful outing, and moment of connection carries your work within it. When you send me an update about something you never thought would be possible, I know how much went into getting there. Getting to celebrate those moments with you is one of the greatest privileges of my life.
Then you turn around and tell someone about me.
You recommend me to your friends, your family, your coworkers, and people asking for help online. You tag Soul Healing Canine, share your experiences, and speak about this business with so much trust and enthusiasm. So many families find their way to me because one of you said, “You need to call Anny.”
Please know how much that means to me. You are putting your own name behind mine. You are trusting me to care for someone you care about. That is something I will never take lightly.
Your referrals have helped me build this business, one relationship at a time. Your hard work gives you stories worth sharing, and your willingness to share them gives another family the courage to ask for help.
At Soul Healing Canine, we meet dogs and their people where they are. We take time to understand the struggles, the routines, and the person holding the leash. We work toward a better life for both ends of that leash, with more confidence, clearer communication, and room to learn without judgment.
Dogs have been a beacon throughout my life. They have given me comfort and purpose during difficult seasons, and that connection is at the heart of this business. Helping you find that connection with your own dog means everything to me.
Your support is also helping me achieve my American dream, providing for my family through work I love, building something of my own, and making a difference in the community we call home. Every time you book, recommend me, or share what we have accomplished together, you help that dream keep growing.
To receive this recognition just over a year after returning to this work full time is overwhelming. To receive it in our first year nominated makes it even harder to find the words.
But what I want you to hear most is this, I know who helped us get here.
The clients who put in the work. The families who keep coming back. The people who recommend me again and again. Everyone who took the time to vote and support a small business they believe in.
Thank you for trusting me, for working alongside me, and for speaking my name with such kindness when I am not in the room.
I am so proud of you, so grateful for you, and so honored to bring Best of Tennessee home with you. 🧡🐾
Training souls. Guiding families. Embracing the journey.
