About Me

Having a dog should be a joyous experience.

Helping people, with and without dogs, is my passion.

My first profession was as a social worker, providing practical and psychological support to troubled people.

Then, inspired by  a wonderful relationship with my dog, Kika, I decided to change careers to combine my appreciation for dogs with my knowledge of psychology:  I became a dog trainer whose purpose is to help people develop the best quality relationship with their dogs.   

By helping people understand the psychology of their dogs and also providing straightforward training techniques, I pave a way for both dog owner and dog to live in harmony.

To understand a dog’s perspective and motivation helps to simplify teaching polite behavior and timely responses. The dog feels safer, becomes calmer, and understands what is expected.  This leads to a more joyous experience for the dog owner.
