Philosophy

Problem solving

The difficulties of living with a problematic dog can have a major impact on everyday life and the relationship between dog and human. From my personal life and many years of experience as a dog sitter, I know how challenging this can be. That is why I have specialized in problem solving.

Sensitive

As an unbiased dog behavior trainer, I understand that every human-dog relationship is unique. There is no universal formula, it requires sensitivity and empathy. I carefully examine where there is a problem and work with a holistic approach that takes into account medical, social and other aspects.

Respectful

In my training method, I reject violence and instead rely on clear communication and positive reinforcement to steer the dog in the desired direction. We encourage desired behavior through logical learning processes and respect, based on scientific knowledge that takes into account the uniqueness of every living being.
