Although I grew up with dogs, instead of going for a walk, I preferred to run after the ball. Since Aza (my first Weimaraner) came into my life, my fascination with dogs won't let me go. And so, I went from being the kicker and fashion designer, to the dog walker. 

As a dog Walker, I wanted to further address the issue of “dog/dog ownership” and immerse myself into the fascinating interaction. 

After an intense debate of the dog being an individual and a living being, but also from the point of view of the owner and dog sitters, my perception changed. This applies to both the relationship and the communications between dogs themselves, as well as between man and dog. Most of my knowledge I learnt from Anton Fichtlmeier. I relished my 5 year trainers course with Anton, which I completed in 2012. 

Today, I deal intensively with the training of family dogs as well as with dogs that display behavioural problems. In addition to the group walks, I offer private lessons to be able to specifically focus on the individual dog. 

I visit lectures and seminars in Germany and Switzerland on a regular basis to be continuously up to date with the industry. Hence, I assure my competence as a dog sitter and can further pass on my knowledge to my employees.
