2024 has been quite an adventure.
I’ve lived in 3 different countries England, Ireland and Finland. Worked with many different trainers, positive, balanced and aversive. I’ve seen a lot of trauma in dogs as a result of abuse but also learned to rehabilitate dogs from it. I think this year has been both the best year of my life as well as one of the worst. Maybe the biggest lesson I learned was to not compromise my values and be delusional about making a change bc if the person is not interested in changing their way there is nothing I can do about it. If years of scientific research is not enough to prove what is the best way to train a dog I think there is not much I can do to make a difference no matter how much I wanted to.
This year I got to train close to 100 different dogs and got to have longer projects as well as short ones. I was extremely lucky to be able to learn from so many individuals.
I’m really excited about next year and new adventures.
I want to thank all my colleagues, customers and friends for the support throughout this year.
