OUR SERVICES

Hi, I'm Magda

A dog trainer and behaviourist.

For more than 25 years of working with dogs, I’ve been endlessly fascinated by the complexity of their behaviour — an incredible blend of social and predatory nature, and the unique bond they’ve built with humans through centuries of coevolution.

My passion is to support dog guardians and their canine companions in building deep, trusting connections and enjoying a happy life together.

ENRICHMENT ROOM

A calm indoor space where dogs can explore, sniff, and discover at their own pace, supporting confidence, relaxation, and emotional balance through natural behaviours like foraging, sniffing, and problem-solving.

ETHICAL TRAINING

Compassionate, science-based guidance that helps dogs and their guardians understand each other better, supporting positive behaviour change, emotional balance, and everyday harmony through clear communication, trust, and practical training tailored to each individual.

LIVE AND ONLINE EVENTS

Inspiring learning opportunities for dog guardians and professionals, offering practical knowledge, fresh perspectives, and hands-on skills through engaging workshops, seminars, and webinars, all designed to support humane, science-based approaches to living and working with dogs.

Why paying attention to the needs of your one and only dog at home is, in a way, a celebration of the entire dog population.

Ethical dog training isn’t just about learning strict routines to achieve your goals. 🎯 It’s about understanding what really drives behaviour and how to change it for the good of both of you.

As it gets darker every day, dogs often prioritise sun exposure. They seek out pools of sunlight on the bed or floor, and will even lie down on a concrete slab if that’s the only spot where the sun reaches your garden at this time of year. ☀️An hour’s walk in an open field on a sunny day, when the sun is at its highest, might be one of the most important things we can offer our dogs, and ourselves, during this season.

🚫 So many dogs hear “no” far more often than they hear “good dog.” But “no” doesn’t guide them — it only tells them what not to do, leaving confusion instead of clarity. It doesn’t have to be this way. When we replace correction with guidance, and focus on cooperation and understanding, everything begins to change. 💛

Please join us on the 21st May for a webinar about the pionieering use of the Sensory Integration therapy in dogs. During this event we will consider the importance of Sensory Integration therapy and exercises in the development of the dog, in behaviour modification plans and in physical therapy. Regardless of their age, chronically under- or overstimulated dogs may have trouble in processing and integrating information coming from their bodies and the environment. In this webinar we will present Sensory Integration exercises that you can do with your dog at home or with clients in your class. Check out the event info on our Facebook page Follow Your Dog. #dogevent #dogtherapy #dogtraining
