Get to know me
My journey with dogs started at a very early age on farmland where I grew up with many different dogs. I've been a part of a local rescue and animal protection unit since high school, actively participating in dog sports, events, and courses ever since. Followed by a decade of working with show dogs and kennels. All this hands-on experience gave me a broad knowledge of dogs living in very different environments. From a rescue setting to the most prestigious kennels, and all that is behind the scenes. Since the very early days I knew exactly what I wanted to do for a living - work with dogs and make a positive impact on their lives. And I followed this path ever since.
When it comes to my professional education, I've been lucky to study Canine behavior and psychology from industry-leading professionals in the United States and England and have the ongoing privilege of staying in that circle for further growth. I'm a member of many international dog pro communities and am always on the lookout for new science-based, humane training techniques and approaches. I keep my knowledge and skills up to date by regularly attending hands-on courses and I'm committed to ongoing professional education.
In an unregulated and often misled dog training industry, I aim to present my clients with up-to-date science-based, force and fear-free methods to bring out the best in their dog-human relationship. My practice is built on ethical training techniques and dog centered care approach. When you hire me for coaching or day-to-day care services I ensure you are receiving the latest, science-based advice and my full attention supporting you on your journey.
Most of my current work with dogs and their families is based on Family Dog Mediation model L.E.G.S (Learning, Environment, Genetics, Self). You can read more about this approach HERE
