Kristina Hecklinger. Never stop learning and be open-minded.

A few milestones in my life were special animals, people and teacher who passed my path and supported me in my choice for training and being with my animals (horses and dogs).

Another milestone in my life was the International Dog Trainer Education by Turid Rugaas. The Norwegian dog expert Turid Rugaas became generally known with the discovery & specification of the calming signals. She is a bestselling author (e.g. "On Talking Terms with Dogs: Calming Signals) and an undisputed authority in dog behavior, canine communication and calming signals.

I'm a certifcated instructor concerning the German Animal Protection Act ยง11 Para. 1 f by the veterinary office (Karlsruhe, Germany).

The education with Turid Rugaas gave me the vision that my education with horses already taught me: It is not so much about the technics, furthermore it is about the inherent of each animal and the psychology to train dogs & humans. Over all the years, I'm woking with animals I have learned that everything is a progress. And a progress don't has to be perfect. I want to support you both - dog & human - to understand each other, communicate and build a trustful relationship

For every good training it is essential that we are relaxed. Only a relaxed mind & body can learn properly. Relaxation don't mean "doing nothing". Furthermore, we need both relaxation in doing nothing and relaxation in action.

My various educational background allows me to have a collection of different tools to support you according to your both needs on a connection-based approach.
