Dogs are fascinating and loyal companions, they are more than just pets, they are our friends and family members . By understanding and respecting their needs , we can build a strong bond and offer them a happy, fulfilling life. Proper handling of dogs is based on understanding, love, and respect—for the dog and its natural instincts. If we follow these principles, we can fully enjoy the wonderful relationship with our four-legged friends.
Dogs can talk...
But only to those who know how to listen!
Why I don't train or educate dogs, but understand them.
Understanding means seeing the world from the dog's perspective: its body language, feelings and needs. If we make an effort to truly understand our dogs, we can respond to them better and avoid misunderstandings.
Unlike traditional dog training, which is based on training the dog to be a ‘perfect soldier’ through obedience and commands, I focus on recognising your dog's individual signals, emotions and desires, translating them for you and making you aware of why they also have to do with you.
As every dog owner knows, our own behaviour has a major influence on our dog's behaviour. Dogs are very sensitive and perceive our voice and mood. When we are calm, patient and consistent, this conveys security and trust. This helps the dog to feel safe and comfortable.
Restless, anxious or inconsistent behaviour on the part of the owner can cause insecurity and stress in the dog. Dogs mirror our emotions and adapt their behaviour accordingly.
That is why it is so important that we, as dog owners, behave consciously and mindfully. Our attitude, our words and our body language have a significant influence on our dog's behaviour. For this reason, it is usually not the dog that needs to learn something, but rather we humans who can learn from and with our dogs.
My approach as a dog interpreter is to translate between you and your dog and help you both to understand each other better. I want to show you that YOU alone are enough to make your dog feel comfortable by your side. No treats or other aids are needed! Only you can show your dog that he can rely on you and that you are able to guide him safely through our often confusing human world, according to his needs!
I believe that deep understanding is the key to a happy, relaxed and GENUINE relationship between you and your dog.
