In my previous career I worked as an emergency response dispatcher, but I made the leap into the dog world to become a full-time entrepreneur.
I've had dogs for nearly 30 years - mainly Belgian Malinois, Dutch Shepherds, and working Kelpies. I have actively trained and competed in various disciplines, but at the moment scent work, along with the control skills it requires, has truly become my passion.
In spring 2026, I moved from Finland to the Netherlands to further develop my dog training skills closer to my dreams.
I specialize in canine scent work, herding dogs, and building everyday obedience. I value cooperation and motivation in the dog.
