I offer consultation and education about dog behaviour, dog education, the human-dog relationship and dog-assisted intervention. The particular relationship, personalities of owner and dog, and the experiences of both form a unique human-dog team.
My consultation will include the whole system - the family in both the private and professional environment - because the dog’s role is often a “mirror of the owner” in respect to the dog’s environment.
It is important not to anthropomorphize and/or “lupomorphize” a dog while establishing an attachment and relationship and also afterwards. A dog is not like a human child (even when it lives in the same system), but is also not a wolf! Thus it is important for our four-legged friends that we appreciate them as domestic dogs living in human family-associations and to integrate them accordingly.
One first step toward trusting interaction with our dogs is to act rather than merely react. The owner’s starting to guide his/her dog through positive action facilitates the dog’s relinquishing responsibility and confidently orientating toward the owner.

My consultation does not focus on simply training. However, the owner will be offered extensive feedback about the dog’s behaviour and training possibilities will be demonstrated and explained. The owner will learn to work with his/her dog independently and how to respond in crisis situations. The goal is for the owner to guide his/her dog in a state of mutual trust, self-confidently and above all positively!
