About me

My first “adult” dog, Leus (2017-2022) came to me as an adult and she was the perfect dog. I still consider it one of my biggest professional achievements that I didn’t ruin it, even though in the beginning I had no idea whatsoever what I’m doing.

The Dog Nerd started in 2019 as a blog and over the years it turned into a full time career. Over that time I worked with several hundred dogs with various behavioral issues and have constantly invested in training seminars and workshops. It’s really important to me that my practical experience go hand in hand with up to date theoretical knowledge.

In 2022 I adopted Pike, who turned out to be reactive and showed aggressive behavior towards people (also didn’t sleep properly, peed inside multiple times a day, bit someone in the staircase during her 3rd week with us…). Thanks to her I got first hand experience of how draining it is to live with a “behaviorally challenged” dog, how much it limits us in our everyday life.

For that reason in my work with clients I make sure to pay attention to their quality of life too, and not just focus on their dogs. No cookie cutter solutions, only what works for you and your dog!
