About your trainer

Picture
Daniela Pelgrim
My dog journey started with Jessie, a small white fluffball bichon-schnauzer cross. She was trained the traditional way by choke collar and verbal praise. After she died, Giro, my Smooth Collie, taught me how wrong this approach was, and introduced me to the fascinating world of positive dog training. Kiara, my Whippet, reaped all the benefits, and can't wait for her training all day, every day!
