About Me

Hi, I’m Nadja — and I help dog owners understand what’s really going on inside their dog’s mind. My focus isn’t just on obedience — it’s on why behavior happens and how we can change it from the inside out.

My journey as a professional dog behaviorist began in 2013, when I was living with my two dogs, Milo and Lefi. Both taught me invaluable lessons about trust, stress, communication, and leadership.

• Milo, confident and independent, showed me how important respect for emotional space and clear structure is for a dog to feel safe.
• Lefi, energetic and insecure at first, experienced fear, leash stress, and separation challenges — and overcoming these taught me patience, observation, and deep understanding.

These experiences didn’t just shape my work — they are the foundation of it.

Because I’ve lived these challenges, I understand how it feels when nothing seems to help, no matter how much you try.

Most behavior problems aren’t about obedience —
they’re about stress, miscommunication, and insecurity.

Dogs communicate constantly — through body language, tension, eye contact, and emotional state. When we learn their language, we no longer fight behavior — we create conditions in which unwanted behavior naturally disappears.

I support you in:

• reading your dog’s language
• understanding what your dog really needs
• creating calm, clarity, and trust

This is not about dominance or dominance hierarchies — it’s about trust and leadership that your dog actually feels. 

I combine professional education with years of real-world practice:

• Studied animal psychology with a specialization in behavioral counseling
• Permission under § 11 No. 8 of the German Animal Protection Law (TSchG) — to work professionally with dogs and their owners
• Multiple years working with professional trainers and practitioners
• Collaboration on European tours with Cesar Millan (2014–2019)
• Training dogs for a royal family in 2018
• Years of experience as a dog walker, trainer, and behavior consultant
• Continuous ongoing education through courses, literature, and practice 

Online behavior consulting allows me to work with your real-life situations, not staged scenarios. You send me videos from your walks, everyday moments, and challenges — and I analyze them before we even meet. This helps me see exactly what’s really happening, so our time together is focused, practical, and immediately useful.

It’s personalized. It’s specific to you and your dog. And it’s far more effective than traditional on-site training because we work where the behavior actually occurs — in your daily life. 

In 2017/18 I also cared for and socialized a small dog named Bella, who went on to become a diabetes alert dog — a journey I’m incredibly proud of.

I continue to learn from every dog I work with — and I bring that knowledge directly into every consultation.

My goal is to help you create a relationship built on trust, clear communication, and confidence — for both you and your dog.

👉 If you want personalized guidance that actually works — start with a free initial consultation and let’s explore how your dog thinks and feels. 

In 2017 I completed the alternative practitioner for psychotherapy at the city of Hamburg and have been working as a coach ever since.

Continuing education through courses, literature and films is self-evident for me.

Permission according to § 11 No. 8 TSchG of the city of Hamburg exists.
