About me
Hi!
Welcome to our site. My name is Rosa, and the handsome gentleman with me is Uston.
After a full, and very intense year training as a guide dog, a medical test revealed that life had other plans for Uston, and he became my beloved pet.
Uston has taught me an awful lot about patience, perseverance, and the long-term rewards of good, unfaltering teamwork. He has also brought me closer to several wonderful people and their four-legged companions, and ultimately pushed me to take the leap and create a dog training business.
I firmly believe that dogs have the potential to enhance anybody's life, and that training and behaviour "hiccups" should never get in the way of what can be a beautiful, loving relationship.
Whether your relationship with your dog is a bit tense, whether you have a puppy and s/he is making you doubt your decision (been there!), or whether you'd like to optimize and fine-tune a particular aspect of life with your dog, please get in touch, I'd love to help!
I speak English, French, Italian, Spanish, and I understand Dutch.
