DOG WALKING AND PUPPY TRAINING
My name is Gosia, I’m 30-year-old native Pole and have been living in East London for 2.5 years. I am a professional dog trainer and walker with an experience with other pets as well (including 4 years of sharing a flat with a cheeky rabbit). I am a dog owner myself, sharing my life with two white German Shepherd females - a rescued one with phobias and issues (therefore I have a deep understanding for all dogs labelled as "problematic") and a "second hand" one with much more mellow attitude to life. I have also an extensive experience with rescued dogs and cats as I used to work in one of the biggest animal charities in the UK and volunteered in an animal shelter and a veterinary clinic in my home country. Currently I am volunteering for the German Shepherd Rescue UK as a dog assessor and a home checker. I have been studying dog training and behaviour management in the Cambridge Institute of Dog Behaviour and Training and I am a qualified puppy trainer, working towards Dog Training Instructor diploma. I also have a pleasure to be an Associate Member of Pet Dog Trainers of Europe and a Society Affiliate of International Society for Anthrozoology. I am police-checked and fully insured with Pet Business Insurance.
DOGGY HOLIDAYS
My name is Gosia (no, it's not a mistake, it's just a very common Polish name), I'm 25 and I've been living with dogs since... I can remember. Before I came to London I was extensively cooperating with shelters and rescues in Poland, fostering, training and rehoming dogs. I have an experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes, from spaniels to German shepherds. Not all of them were well-behaved and easy to handle. I moved to London to study animal behaviour, which is not available in Poland. I am actively interested in modern, reward-based techniques of training. I am fully insured with Pet Business Insurance.
The other human on the picture is my boyfriend, Adam (27). He also always had dogs in his family home, including working gundogs, but for the last couple of years which he has spent with me, he deepened his knowledge about dog behaviour. He discovered his natural talent to communicate with canines and now he really loves working with dogs.
And of course the most important creature in our household is Frytka, our 2.5 years old Cocker Spaniel. She'd been raised in a house full of dogs and since we've been living in London, she misses canine companions, so she will warmly welcome four-legged guests.
