Various behaviours we can work with

  • Leash Pulling

    You will appreciate it if your daily walks make your shoulders hurt and you don’t need go to the gym — your biceps are strong enough from holding the leash when your dog pulls.

  • Hunting

    Maybe you found it funny when your dog first time jumped towards the pigeons but now you avoid every city park because your dog hunts everything: from cyclists to falling leaves?

  • Recall

    The recall works perfect but not when… other dogs are around? Or not when you see a cat? Or when you walk in the forest? How many more excuses can we think of?

  • Barking at other dogs

    “But he just wants to play! It’s all because other dog owners don’t let their dogs free”! Let’s face it: your dog needs to learn some social manners including someone’s decision to not play with them.

  • Separation anxiety

    Taking your dog everywhere with you is awesome! Unless you do it because you can’t leave them home alone…

  • Aggressive behaviours

    Your dog hates one of your neighbours? Or have they snapped at a kid who was running by? Trust me, you won’t need to walk at 5 am. for the rest of your life, your dog can learn controlling their emotions.

  • Picking up food

    You don’t need a vacuum cleaner because you already have one that is fluffy and walks on four legs? Jokes aside, stealing food can be dangerous. And it can be managed.

  • Barking in the garden

    When was the last time you did let your dog run freely in the garden without worrying about your neighbours being barked at?

  • Attacking guests

    Do you always need to meet your guests outside of the house because otherwise your dog may overreact? We can help you get your social life back.

  • Chilling in a cafe

    Sometimes I say that my specialisation is in teaching dogs to sleep in restaurants. Yes, also when waiters come close to take your order.

  • Overcoming Fear

    Regardless of what caused insecurity, we can help your dog to become more relaxed. Your dog can learn that this world is not so scary, people are generally friendly and dogs are not a threat.

  • You name it...

    I will help you find harmony in living with your dog. You set the goals — my job is in guiding you further.
