Frequently asked questions

At the moment, I exclusively offer one-to-one training. This allows me to work individually with each dog and owner and to address challenges in a sustainable and effective way.
Group classes are already in planning and will be introduced in the future. All updates will be announced on my website.

Every training process starts with a mandatory initial assessment session at your home. This first appointment forms the foundation for successful and long-term training.

The assessment session lasts 60–90 minutes, with 90 minutes being the standard. During this time, I take a close look at:

• your daily routines

• your dog’s personality

• the behaviour you experience as problematic

• the underlying causes of this behaviour and much more

My focus is always on addressing the root cause, not just the visible symptoms. This ensures sustainable progress rather than short-term fixes.

I ask many detailed questions and take the time to gather all relevant information. At the same time, clients have plenty of opportunity to ask their own questions.

Already during the assessment session, I provide first training exercises, practical everyday adjustments and small changes that can already make a difference.

By the end of the session:

• I present an individual training plan for both dog and owner adapted to their everyday life

• I give an estimate of how many training sessions are needed per topic (often one session per topic is sufficient)

• the client decides which topics to focus on first and which may follow later

Follow-up sessions usually take place every one to two weeks, allowing enough time for practice and consolidation while maintaining continuity.

Between sessions, questions can always be asked via WhatsApp, so you stay supported throughout the entire training process.

My training is suitable for dogs of all ages – from young dogs to seniors. Dogs can learn throughout their entire lives, and every dog deserves a calm and relaxed everyday life, regardless of age.

I specialize in working with:

• fearful dogs

• rescue dogs

• livestock guarding dogs

• urban training for dogs of all breeds

I also happily work with all common breeds and mixed breeds, such as Dachshunds, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Poodles, Doodles and many others.

If a dog shows very severe aggression or extremely intense fear-related behaviour, I may decide not to take on the case myself. In such situations, the dog is often better supported by a colleague who is highly specialized in that specific field. In these cases, I will of course help the client by recommending an appropriate professional.
The well-being of both dog and owner always comes first.

The initial assessment session usually takes place at the client’s home and within the dog’s everyday environment. This allows me to gain a realistic and comprehensive understanding of the dog’s living situation and daily challenges.

Follow-up training sessions take place exactly where the relevant issue occurs, depending on the topic:

• in public spaces for dog encounters

• in urban environments, such as public transport or busy city areas

• at home, for example when working on staying alone or on relaxation

I run a mobile dog training service and travel to my clients.
For distances of more than five kilometres, a small travel fee is charged to cover transportation costs only.
