Seasoned Human Behaviorist + First time dog owner with sweet & nervous, emotionally intelligent Doodle. I am learning Force-Free Behavior Adjustment Training so I’ll help her become a dog whose needs are met while feeling comfortable in all new situations. Follow along on Instagram. 

All I need is love for her and 5 minutes per day

Let’s reveal the hidden reality – canine companionship isn’t all bright days. Shame and despair may accompany us. Torn shoes, pulled leashes and barking dogs in front of the window turn into symbols of perceived inadequacy. If you’ve felt helpless, know this – I support you. Should our human frustration be a part of the training process? No, of course not. So when we throw in a challenge that’s also a victory on our side, suddenly it’s a game-changer. All we need is 5 minutes per day.  

Positive reinforcement training + errorless learning

As a seasoned Human Behaviorist and first-time dog owner, years of experience meet the fresh challenges of raising a wonderfully sweet and emotionally intelligent Labradoodle. Though deeply affectionate, she’s also a nervous soul who has transformed me into a student of canine behavior—an ongoing journey that humbles and teaches me every day. Lifelong learning and teaching come together through my approach, which centers on force-free Behavior Adjustment Training (BAT). This method ensures her needs are met, allowing her to feel secure in new situations. All in all; welfase based. 

Behavorial Canine / Human Trainer

If you’re searching for a ‘balanced trainer’ (which in reality means; using power, intimidation and dominance, a.k.a. ‘aversive techniques’) you can leave this website now. Because cutting edge research in the industry has proven time and again that the most reliable way to get positive results with long term effect in dogs (also when you’re not around) is with Positive Reinforcement Training (R+). R+ training focuses on strengthening the human-animal bond using evidence-based animal learning theory. With these methods you choose to work with the natural instincts of your dog. Instead of focusing on stopping unwanted behavior by scaring your sweetheart, I’d suggest you focus on teaching your furry friend what you want them to do instead. Reward-based training does not mean the dog never experiences consequences for unwanted behavior, because they do. However, the primary focus of training is on setting the dog up for success by teaching them what we want them to do before mistakes are made.

Humble student, humble teacher

Though my heart burns with passion for helping dogs and their humans thrive, I’m not officially teaching yet. Why? Because I believe in doing things the right way—getting certified first. It’s not just about love and good intentions; it’s about having the skills, knowledge, and expertise to make a lasting difference. Until then, I’m soaking up every bit of education, research, and practical experience I can, so when I step into this role, I’ll be ready to guide you and your furry soulmate with the care and respect you both deserve. I am a student of Grisha Stewart currently.
