Human and Dog in Harmonious Connection

This is my mission and the foundation of everything I do. A strong, loving relationship between human and dog creates a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere, both at home and outdoors. Good training is the key to mutual understanding and enjoyment in daily life together.

Loving, but with boundaries

Loving doesn’t mean without rules, but rather with positive attention. Punishment doesn’t help and can damage the bond with your dog. At woof-o, we believe in positive training: we focus on what’s going well and reward it. Just like with people, positive reinforcement leads to repeated desired behavior.

Understanding is the foundation

Every dog is unique, just like every owner. That’s why woof-o offers tailor-made coaching, fully customized to your personal situation. By understanding your dog’s needs and behavior, we can work together to build a stronger bond. Not every behavior that you find bothersome is truly problematic behavior. That’s why understanding and insight into your dog are central to our approach.

Benefits of private coaching

At woof-o, you receive personal attention and customized training focused on your dog’s well-being:

We train at your home or in your dog’s familiar environment.
The training is tailored to your specific needs.
We focus on practical skills that improve everyday life, not tricks.
You and your dog are the focus, with plenty of room for questions.
After each session, you’ll receive a detailed handout with step-by-step instructions and additional information for home practice.

Flexible training options

Whether you have a young puppy who has just joined your family, or a dog from a rehoming situation or shelter, woof-o offers both individual lessons and affordable packages, tailored to meet the needs of you and your dog.

Single session

Topic and content to be chosen by you. No matter if you have a specific issue regarding the behaviour of your puppy. your young dog or your adult dog. I am happy to help.
