Your dog will look at you when you are worth looking at." - Sam Malesta

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF

My passion for dog training began when I was just two years old. when my family bought our first dog Louger; A beautiful working line German Shepherd Dog, whom passed away when i was 11 years old. I knew right away that dog training is what I wanted to do. 

​

My first competition dog, a West German Shepherd show-Dog named Apache Von Bullinger was where my passion for training sparked again. We started the sport of IPO In 2014 and I quickly fell in love with the challenge, truly the most difficult dog sport on the planet with three phases - Tracking, Obedience and protection. He is Titled, and is now retired from the sport. We also dabbled in bird dog and retriever training. I now train and compete in IPO with my Czech working line Belgian Malinois, Portia Z Huckelovy vily. 

​

I have been blessed to have so many great mentors, coaches, club members and of course my wonderful dogs who influence me and teach me new things on a daily basis. 

I look forward to meeting your dog, and to give you a new perspective on dog training.
