My Philosophy

There are so many different ways, methods and theories for how to train a dog. I don’t want to be stuck on one of these ways, but to individually decide and cooperate with you which fits you and your dog best. My knowledge and abilities are based on scientific knowledge, on which I refer to in the trainings and which I’ll explain to you with practical examples. Body language signals and communication are also a main part of my training. All in all I work with positive reinforcement and I want every person and their dogs do train with me with fun and joy.

For me as a dog trainer it’s extremely important to see the big picture to evaluate your dogs behavior correctly. Therefore for each and every new client, I start with a detailed profile of the dog (Anamnese).

My References

My love for dogs has always been a big influence in my life and because of that I started courses to become a dog trainer with Stephanie Lang von Langen in May 2021 alongside my studies. In April 2022 I finished the courses with a written and a practical test. Afterwards I received my certificate of competence by the veterinary inspection office according to § 11 Abs. 1 Nr. 8f Tierschutzgesetz (animal protection law). During my courses I was lucky enough to learn from great dog trainers and experts, such as Sami El Ayachi, Claudia Himmert, Udo Gansloßer, Sandra Folgner and Gerd Leder. In the future I also plan to take part in various new workshops and courses to continuously supplement my qualifications.

Besides my job in social works and my self-employment as a dog trainer I volunteer for an animal welfare organisation in Bosnia & Herzegovina since 2015.
