Who am I

My journey

As a Certified Dog Trainer and Canine Behavior Consultant, I have had the privilege to coach clients from all walks of life for the last 10 years. Through experience and further education, I have gained the competence and skill to guide you in the training of our four-legged friends.


1.Building a Team
2.Working together to reach a common goal, to face challenges or overcome a problem

Teaming up is more than just a name, it’s a concept that really expresses my vision for dog training, and for living with a dog in general: it’s about getting to know and understand our dogs, using their strength and allowing them their weaknesses, creating a synergy and building a relationship based on solid trust to team up in everyday life.

My guiding principles

Tailor made training that is efficient and considerate both towards humans and dogs, and takes into account the needs of each individual

A continuous further education allowing me to offer the best possible quality coaching

Affiliating to organisations that can vouch for the training methods used and the maintenance of my competencies

Further education

As with any field of expertise, further education is essential to hone in skills and stay up to date on the most recent field knowledge available. Each teacher that I have had the privilege to learn from is a part of my identity as a trainer, and being curious and thirsty, the panel of these precious teacher has grown to be quite extensive and diverse. I have had the chance to learn from world renown experts in the fields of Dog Training and Behavior Analysis, and my objective is to share some of the jewels I have received with you.
