Your expert on dog behavior
Welcome, I'm Nadja Kalinowski
Your online English-speaking dog trainer
Many behavioral problems are caused by misunderstandings between dogs and their owners.
We humans often forget to trust our instincts and instead prefer to overthink things. By doing so, we often miss the opportunity to address issues with our dogs in a timely manner. It is important to rely less on thinking and more on feeling.
Embark on the adventure of understanding dog psychology - it is truly rewarding! Learn to better comprehend your dog and communicate with them through energy and body language. This will help establish a balanced relationship between you and your dog. Together, we will identify the underlying causes of your problems and work towards solving them through personalized dog training.

Do these problems sound familiar to you?
1. Pulling the leash
Does your dog go for a walk with you? Not paying attention to your while walking? Goes his own way and makes his own decisions? These are signs of an imbalanced relationship between dog and owner that we should work on and improve. Learn to walk your dog relaxed and on a loose leash.
2. Fear
Does your dog tend to be afraid? In extreme stressful situations, dogs have the option to fight, flight or freeze. The aim is to find the fear triggers, reduce the stress and communicate to the dog that his human is looking out for him. Most people tend to feel sorry for anxious dogs and this do nothing to improve the situation. I would be happy to explain why this is so and what you have to do to help your dog.
3. Barking
Does your dog bark at other dogs or people on walks? Your dog barks at the door or even at you in certain situations? Excessive and prolonged barking indicates the dog is stressed. Instead of fighting the symptoms, we have to find the cause and fix it. What is behind it: insecurity, frustration, fear or even aggression?
4. Aggression
Aggression is something normal and even necessary in nature. Growling, showing teeth or snapping are used for communication. Of course, this is not desirable when living together with humans and often indicates misunderstandings in communication. If the dog has already had success with hurtful behavior, muzzle training should be carried out before the trainer comes. In which situations does your dog show aggressive behavior and how do you react?
5. Hyperactivity
Is your dog always on the move? Almost never or very little sleep? Jumping or running around uncontrollably? These are signs of hyperactivity and mean we should help your dog. An important part of training is impulse control.
