About Anna (Childs) Feller K9 Training & Adelhorst Kennels

Hi, I’m Anna (Childs) Feller, a dedicated dog trainer and the heart behind Adelhorst Kennels. I’m passionate about helping dogs and their owners build strong, respectful relationships through clear communication and consistent, real-world training. I work with all breeds and ages, using a non-treat-based approach that focuses on lasting results. Whether you're starting with a new puppy or working through behavioral challenges, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. In addition to training, I also offer boarding, German Shepherd breeding, and pet photography, combining my love for dogs with years of hands-on experience. My goal is to help you and your dog thrive, at home, in public, and everywhere in between.

The reason I chose Adelhorst Kennels ,in the first place ,was due to rave reviews from both my vets tech Jody and a coworker Who sent her dog for the board and train program. I would give more than five stars if allowed ! My dog just turned one the day before he went to his board and train program with Anna. I didn’t really know what to expect, but I was told to expect miracles and that is what I got! Burke, the mini Bernedoodle, was turning into a highly reactive dog around other dogs, and starting to become that way with people he didn’t know. I tried all different kinds of things and nothing was helping! His behavior was causing me to be anxious and frustrated, which intern, led to him being the same! I picked Burke up a week ago, had a two hour lesson with Anna and Burke before we came home so she could show me what to do. I admit, I was nervous that I was going to fail again. However, Anna was So patient with me, answered so many questions, and made me feel right at home. This last week at home with Burke by myself has been nothing but a complete turnaround for both of us and our relationship is so much stronger because of it! He’s a totally different dog, listens to me now, he is great with people, and most of all doesn’t bark at other dogs! He’s calmer, sleeps better, and pays attention to commands! I’ve text Anna a couple times with questions and she’s been more than helpful. We will keep our time at Adelhorst going with her obedience classes and I am excited for Burke’s future! Thank you, Anna and team for providing such a wonderful service at a beautiful facility with kind people!

I swear, Anna speaks "dog" fluently. She is a fantastic individual, and her employees are top notch. Dogs are her life. She cares for our pups like they are her own. We've been loyal customers since she had her old facility in the Altoona area. When she told me that she'd be moving to Swan, it wasn't even a question: we would drive to Swan so that our dogs can be boarded with her. While other facilities have the dogs inside all day, Anna has a large piece of land, so the dogs are able to go for walks and enjoy nature. Any time we tell our dogs that it's time to go to Anna's, they immediately run to the car. If you’re looking for a place to board your pups while you’re away, we can’t recommend them enough.

We have seen such a difference in our dog since going to Anna's class. We had a dog that barked and pulled walking by other dogs that no longer behaves that way. Many thanks to Anna.

Anna & Jessica are the best K9 trainers in this area. They both have a passion & genuine desire to have you & your dog be successful. They work with all breeds of dogs. They have a variety of options for classes & board & train. I have used their services for many yrs & continue to learn new things. You can't have a well behaved dog without a trained owner. They can also train all ages of owners:) Give them a try. You won't be disappointed!
