About me and my dogs:
I am a dog trainer from Sweden that arrived to the United States of America in February 07.
I have spent the last 9 years fostering, and training dogs with behavioral issues.
I deal with all breeds, and mutts, mostly it has been Pit bulls, Rottweiler’s, and similar big breeds due to them more often ending up in the wrong home. No dog will be turned down cause of its background or breed.
The last 3 years I have held classes for people that have rescues and issues dealing with them.
Most common issues I work with:
- Trust issues
- Food aggression
- Possession aggression
- Basic obedience
- Separation anxiety
- Dog on dog aggression
- Different and various fears
- Self esteem issues
- Leash lunging
However to be honest, most of these are connected so it isn’t as impressive as it sounds. All these are related to contact, trust and self esteem with the owner and in the dogs own mind.
I work with positive reinforcement, clicker and consistency. There is no magic to my methods and it will take devotion from you. I promise you though that once I am done explaining the situation for you; you will see the logic behind my methods. Anyone can learn them and use them, the methods help building good, confident and obedient dogs.
Right now I have three dogs that are mine, my old lady Natasha who is 7 years old she’s a Rottweiler mixed with Shar Pei, she’s the perfect dog. I have had her since she was 9 weeks old and she came with me from Sweden.
Miss Muppet is a year old stray Pit bull possible lab mix that I found in Virginia November of 07, she is my wild child that still have a lot to learn. She was a former bait dog, used and abused, starved and full of fleas when I found her.
Midnight is a Rottweiler that I got in the end of March, he is a foster, his previous owner moved to a place where he wasn’t welcome and due to his issues she had a hard time to find a good home. So right now he is with me for training and behavior modification, till we can find him a good forever home.
