about me
The nose knows
With a background as a dog training instructor and behaviourist, specialised in dog aggression and canine communication I focus on developing the dog-human relationship and repairing often fragile or even broken bond between dogs and their guardians.
I improve dog-human relationships for more than 15 years with continued success.
In all the work I do, I use a dog’s natural ability and its primal need to work with the nose, to help the dog to improve its emotional state and hence change behaviour. The emotionale welfare of a dog is my priority.
My expertise
I am a dog training instructor and a behaviourist specialised in dog aggression and canine communication, with over 15 years of experience.
I’ve learnt from the best, doing instructor courses with Turid Rugaas and Marina Garfagnoli, but as a person ‘addicted to learning’ I keep searching for new challenges and inspirations. Back in Poland, apart from working as a dog trainer, a therapist for troubled dogs and a puppy assessor I also was an examiner, teaching and assessing the next generation of dog trainers. Along with improving the dog-human relationship and repairing often fragile or even broken bond between dogs and their people, my real passion is Brainwork, Detection and Mantrailing.
In my work I try to use the dogs’ natural abilities and their primal need to work with the nose to help the dogs improve their emotional state and, what follows, behaviour.
the nose knows
I started my adventure with Mantrailing in 2010 and since then I travelled the world gaining accreditation from specialists like Anne-Lill Kvam (Troll Hundeskole, Norway), Ann-Jo Proos (Mantrailing France), Andy Ebert (Mantrailing International K9, Austria) and Patricia Spee (Netherlands). Then over the past few years, along with my Border Collie Vie, I’ve given over 100 lectures and workshops all over Poland and Europe sharing my knowledge and affecting so many dog owners with my passion, amazing energy and always positive attitude.
Now, since the beginning of 2019, I have joined Dogs & the City helping create new courses and starting a Nosework Club ‘The Nose Knows’.
