About private sessions

My sessions are taught in English.

No matter the age - puppy, juvenile, adult or senior dog -

individual and age related challenges can arise and it is better to work on them immediately.

Private sessions are the best way to analyze the struggles you are facing with your dog

and to work on them with an tailored approach to your specific case.

Private sessions are also great for those who simply want to enjoy 1:1 time with a professional:

Private puppy classes, to work on fun things (e.g. tricks), do obstacle courses, enriching walks or other things.

Whatever your need - just get in touch with me - and we will find a way.

Who is this for?

Dog-Owner-Teams struggling with one or more of the following:

Basic obedience, e.g. sit, down, stay, recall, give/take, leash walk, heel...
Separation anxiety
Reactivity, e.g.
- On leash
- Towards other dogs, other animals, strangers, moving objects etc.
- By the window
- Due to sounds
Excessive barking
Anxiety, fearfulness
Crate/mat training
Jumping up on people
Shyness and lack of self-confidence
Problems with certain family members
Attention seeking behaviour
Destructive behaviour

Please get in touch if you are unsure whether I can help you.

Course objectives

Every dog is different with its own personality and history. Based on an individual analysis, I will

Address your specific concerns and goals together.
Teach you background knowledge and help you understand better the motivation that drives your dog.
Give you hands-on tools to work with.
Focus on a good relationship between you and your dog.

1,5 hour sessions are necessary for our first meeting to analyze the current situation.

I accept shorter sessions only if I already know your dog.

But also if your topic needs more time due to its complexity or you simply feel the need for more time, the longer sessions are for you.

How it works

Before our first meeting you need to fill out a questionnaire and hand it in beforehand - it helps me prepare our session.
Our sessions can be a visit at your home and/or a meeting and/or a walk in the environment where the problem/s arise/s - it will be decided together, individually and from session to session.
In each session we analyze and go over your current situation, progress and needs.
You get individual advice how to work on your challenges with your dog and I will explain/show you exercises.
No need to buy multiple-session training packages: After each session, we decide together, if, when and to what extend the problem needs further support (follow-up-sessions).

Your trainer

Hi, I’m Doreen! I grew up in Germany, but moved to Iceland and made it my home.

These days, I am helping dog owners build better relationships with their dogs. Knowing that behaviour is also shaped by nutrition, I am just as passionate about raw dog food and I love guiding people keeping their dogs healthy and make them both smile.

I believe with all my heart that a mix of good training and healthy food is the best way to bring out the best in your dog.

Let’s work together to make that happen! ❤️
