    My passion for dog training began six years ago when I brought home my first German Shepherd puppy. From that moment on, I was hooked. I’ve been fully immersed in the world of dog training ever since, and nothing motivates me more than helping people overcome challenges with their dogs and watching the bond between them grow stronger.

    Alongside working with clients, I actively train, compete, and do helper work in IGP (Internationale Gebrauchshund Prüfungsordnung), a demanding dog sport that tests tracking, obedience, and protection skills. These experiences continually sharpen my skills and fuel my commitment to delivering clear, results-driven training for both pets and working dogs.
