I've been an avid dog lover since I was a child.
At the beginning of 2018, I adopted my first dog from the animal shelter - knowing full well that he had a big problem with aggressive behavior towards other dogs. "I just need to find a good dog trainer" - I thought to myself at the time. Easier said than done - and so began our journey from trainer to trainer until we finally ended up with Mumi and fairtrain.
From the very first private lesson, we started to make progress. I was soon asked if I would like to train as a dog trainer.
So I started my internship in December 2019 and finally successfully completed my training as a dog trainer in December 2020.
Since then, I have enjoyed being able to pass on my specialist knowledge. To accompany, challenge and encourage the many dog-human teams step by step in training - be it in training courses, all-in-one, agility, HuKi, mantrailing or individual coaching.

With many years of experience managing international customer service teams and a solid education from a management school, I now build on strong leadership skills as the owner and managing director of Hundeschule fairtrain GmbH. Goal-oriented work — even under pressure — is a given for me.
Working with diverse human-dog teams is a welcome challenge. My analytical and solution-focused thinking, combined with great patience and passion for both dogs and their humans, forms the foundation of my behavior consultations, individual coaching sessions, and group trainings.
Dogs from animal shelters are especially close to my heart. That is why I regularly volunteer for a large Swiss animal welfare organization and support various shelters abroad once a year. My work as a trainer with shelter dogs requires extensive knowledge, empathy, and experience — qualities I have developed through years of practice.
Currently, I am undergoing training in canine gait analysis as well as advanced studies in behavior counseling.
With our own shelter dog, we are still working on basic training, reducing arousal outdoors, and addressing his challenges with men and children.
