About me
My journey into dog training began with my dog Ben – and with the experience of how helpless it can feel when everyday life suddenly stops working. Many walks ended in frustration, often in tears, and with the feeling of being alone and unable to find the right kind of support.
Out of this overwhelm grew the desire to truly understand my dog – not to “get his behavior under control,” but to understand what he needed in order to feel safer and more at ease. I began to immerse myself deeply in topics such as behavior, stress, learning, emotions, and the impact of experiences on dogs. What started out of necessity soon became a clear professional attitude: training can only be sustainable if it is based on trust, safety, and understanding.
Today, I support human–dog teams with a force-free, trust-based, and empathetic approach.
My focus is on practical, everyday solutions that genuinely fit you and your life – without pressure, without quick promises, but with clarity, structure, and respect for both sides. I always view behavior in the context of emotions, the nervous system, past experiences, and current living conditions.
My work is both scientifically grounded and practice-oriented. Insights from behavioral science, neurobiology, and stress research are just as much a part of my approach as my further training in trauma competence in dogs and my many years of experience with my own rescue dogs. Continuous professional development is a matter of course for me – not because of trends, but because knowledge evolves and I want to work in a responsible and reflective way.
My goal is to help people and their dogs feel safer again, find calm, and learn to enjoy their time together. No one should have to face uncertainty, overwhelm, or the feeling of failure alone. This is exactly where I begin – with time, empathy, and a clear focus on what will truly support you and your dog.
