I am a graduate of Victoria Stilwell Academy and the Nordic Education Centre for Ethical Dog Trainers. As a dog trainer and behavior specialist I am constantly learning and improving my skills by keeping myself up-to-date with the latest research on dog behavior and by attending various dog training seminars, courses and trainings.
My aim as a dog trainer is to give dog caregivers up-to-date knowledge and training tools to be successful with their dogs in everyday life, building stronger bond and mutual understanding. Therefore all my students receive comprehensive information on dog body language, how to learn to observe their dog’s well-being and meet dog’s needs. I believe that each caregiver and their dog form an unique team.
I mainly give private lessons to caregivers who prefer to take classes at home and to dogs that have difficulties in group training setup. I arrange social walks (2-3 dogs together), give private lessons to solve problem behaviors such as leash reactivity, excessive barking, separation anxiety, pulling on a leash, resource guarding etc. My favorite customers are puppy mill rescues and dogs that have lost their trust towards people and are fearful. It is delightful to see them regaining trust and slowly opening up.
It takes time, peacefulness and effort, but eventually it is all worth it! I help caregivers to create training and activity plans for their pups to reach set goals gradually and in a realistic manner.
Additionally, I teach puppy and adult dog group classes (3-5 dogs together) in Tallinn, Estonia. My puppy classes concentrate on basic behaviors and on the prevention of common problem behaviors.
In my free time I love to practice agility, do trick training and enjoy nice walks by the beach or in nature with my own dogs. Dogs have always been a part of my family and each one of them has taught me something valuable.
