TESTIMONIALS
Andrea with Lúna
Food Guidance & Training
I have received excellent guidance from Doreen regarding dog training and nutritional advice for my Labrador. It is very good to consult her.
When I had issues with my dog's behaviour, she provided good advice and tricks that have worked, resulting in better behaviour and my dog now knows all sorts of tricks.
Doreen thoroughly immerses herself in the matters. When I consulted her about allergies and epilepsy in my dog, she delved deeply into the problem. She is very meticulous and does not jump to hasty conclusions; rather, she examines the issues thoroughly from all angles and clearly explains the options available based on BARF raw feeding.
Doreen gets a full house of recommendations from us!

Fitness & Fun for reactive dogs
Attending dog classes with a reactive dog can be difficult and stressful for both dog and owner (and the others in the class) [...]
Doreen created a calm 1:1 atmosphere and made the class fun with clear instructions and feedback and a different setup each time so our dog could try many obstacles. She also showed us how easy it is to set up basic agility obstacles at home [...] so we could practice between classes.
It was amazing to see our whippet have fun learning agility without feeling stressed out by other dogs [...]

Raw Food Guidance
If only this had been available when I got my first dog.
Doreen simplifies the process and ensures you have all the information you need to feed your dog a raw diet. The information is very clear and easy to follow. It's completely tailored to your dog, with plenty of information included. It even covers where to find the main ingredients, most of which are available at your local grocery store.
She puts a lot of effort into what she does and is there to guide you through the process. Your dog will thank you, I promise!

Social Walks
I highly recommend the Social Walks for reactive dogs.
Before the class, I couldn't imagine taking a walk in the forest with multiple dogs, but Doreen taught me a lot of good strategies for understanding my dog's reaction (and my own) and for calming down and also avoiding stressful situations.
I look forward to continuing these walks and hope others will read her blog and join us!

She focuses on positive reinforcement techniques and draws a personalized plan based on the puppy's needs [...] Also, she was very patient, quick to answer any questions, and went beyond our expectations [...].
We highly recommend Doreen to anyone looking for a skilled and caring dog trainer, her personalized attention and commitment do not disappoint!
Róbert with Kári
Fitness & Fun for reactive dogs
Kári and I went to a course with Doreen that she has designed for dogs that are "reactive". There, Doreen had set up a varied obstacle course that we worked on together to get Kári to solve each station.
The course was very well organized and it was ensured that the dogs who attended would not meet each other. The stations were various and their level of difficulty increased each time we attended.
Doreen gave us good feedback and professional advice on what we could improve and practice at home. She is imaginative and very professional.
I can highly recommend taking a dog to Doreen's class.

I have a highly reactive dog and desperately needed guidance and tools to work better with my female.

We went to the Social Walks class and what a difference for both me and my dog!
Colin with Tibo
Puppy Classes
We got a 4 month old Border Collie and went to Doreen for training. Not only did she get our puppy to listen to commands, but also gave us the tools to train him further. It's like the owners get trained, too!
Great service and very kind, highly recommend to anyone who has a dog.
Mallory with Eddie
Online Course
I got so much out of the modules on dogs home alone and even more on reactivity.
My dog is reactive to more things than I was even aware of. [...] Each of the "steps" for reactivity were super helpful and I now have an idea of how to start tackling these issues. [...] It was super helpful to be able to ask questions on the Facebook page or during the Q&A sessions and get some specific feedback. There was definitely a personalized aspect to the course, even though it was for a group. It was very interesting to break harmonious dog ownership down into so many different pieces and to be able to evaluate my individual situation each week. [...] The class was very well balanced.
Thanks so much for the great materials and helpful tips! [...]

Raw Food Guidance
I wanted to praise Doreen for her professional and outstanding service.
I reached out to her for advice on raw feeding for my 12-month-old dog. I received the best, most professional, and thorough information I’ve ever gotten. She explained everything in perfect detail, listed everything clearly, and made it easy for me to understand.
I recommend Doreen 120 %.
Alina with Simon
Online Course
I liked how Doreen teaches things, structured, organized with slides, but also with empathy and love for furry kids.
I definitely recommend this course, because I found the content valuable, useful and comprehensive, also the recordings of the calls are wonderful to watch, I found solutions in the topics discussed for my dog/s. [...]
Doreen has a natural talent of coaching people, also experience to relate to and I liked how she supported people in the calls with individualized solutions for their dogs, including myself. She is also a pet parent, so she can relate to your personal struggles in a meaningful way.
Thank you for your valuable advice and for the information given in the course.
Carol with Hugo
Social Walks
Walks with my dog were stressful for me and my dog before joining Social Walks for reactive dogs.
I learned to have a better partnership with my dog, how I read my dog, and how my dog reads me. We are still working together, but what an improvement! I am definitely continuing to work with Doreen and with Social Walks.
Thank you so much for helping make walks with my dog better.
