Professional Dog & Human therapy

Learn to communicate effectively

Most dog trainers and specialists focus on understanding dogs and their behavior. While this is crucial, my experience has shown that the root cause of most structural behavioural issues lies elsewhere — miscommunication and lack of experience with human behaviour change.

 

Often, interactions with dogs happens with the best intentions but is based on misinterpretations or outdated training methods that have been passed down for decades. For example, the leader of the pack theory where you need to correct your dog to know his place. This creates severe anxiety and causes your dog to listen temporarily out of fear or develops aggression.

 

On top of this, for us humans it is difficult to change behaviour without professional guidance. It is similar to stop smoking, loosing weight or another habit you've tried to change. Your behaviour with your dog is based on your knowledge, beliefs and previous experiences. 

The result? Increasing behaviour issues of your dog, and for you increasing frustration and stress. A disconnect between you and your dog— not the harmonious companionship you envisioned.

Luckily, dogs naturally follow your behaviour and they change quicker than humans! 

The Keys to Change​ 

 

When you learn how to communicate effectively and are able to change your behaviour, everything shifts

Learn effective ways to communicate based on new insights

✔ Develop self-awareness of how your behavior impacts your dog
✔ Unlearn your outdated beliefs and ineffective habits

✔ Understand each other better based on recent studies

✔ Prevent new trauma and additional behaviour issues 

Guidance for Lasting Change

With my expertise in human change, enriched with professional dog therapy, I know that behaviour change is often complex—but also incredibly rewarding.

 

That’s why I don’t only offer one-time advice. Instead, I provide practical guided therapy consults where you apply your insights in real-life situations for sustainable results.

For those who prefer a DIY approach, you can use the analysis, insights and action plan that i will provide during the first consult, so you can work with your dog by yourself. 

You’re always free to switch between guided support and self-led learning — I’m here to help you and your dog reconnect, in a way that works best for you.

About Me

ABOUT ME

From Leadership to Connection—For Humans & Dogs

 

With over 16 years of experience as a professional leadership coach and organisational change consultant, I’ve discovered that one of the most powerful skills for improving collaboration and relationships is deep listening and effective communication.

By practicing deep listening with myself, I reconnected with a lifelong bond—my deep connection with animals. This realization led me to expand my expertise and education, extending my services to help both owners and their dogs to communicate more effectively and resolve any issues.

My joy is to guide you—so you and your loyal companion can reconnect and enjoy each others company! 🐾
