Active walks
For the first 20 years of my working life I worked in IT, and I was lucky enough to have my dogs accompany me everywhere: at work, at my friends' houses, at restaurants, on holiday, etc.
Then one day everything changed. Thanks to my younger sister, I met and adopted Blue, a dog from Italy. Blue is a very sensitive dog, which in the canine training world is often labelled as a "difficult dog", so I had to change my approach. I had to be prepared to adapt to him and his needs and I would no longer be able to take my dog everywhere. However...
...Blue introduced me to a new way of living the canine world, a world that is unconventional and not at all predictable. In order to better understand his language, I had to learn to take the time to observe him with all my senses, without trying to change him, living the present moment.
This more attentive reading of dogs' behavior allowed me to discover a world full of emotions, the dogs' of course, but especially mine! With Blue, I continually learn and relearn to slow down, to come back to the "here and now" and to connect with my emotions before reacting.
Throughout these years, following different courses, I obtained the certification of canine instructor in Switzerland and Italy. I continue to follow webinars and seminars focusing on emotions and trauma.
One of the keys to helping a dog in difficulty is in fact recognising the emotions behind its behavior, and those behind its owner's.
Since I started working with dogs, I have given individual and group courses, as well as the mandatory course in the canton of Neuchâtel, but as I move forward, I feel like I am moving away from the concept of courses.
There are certainly several activities that I teach to my human and canine clients. However, my goal is rather to accompany the "guardians" to shift their mindset and find a way of living with their dogs more as equals. This is why I pay so much attention to communication.
