Dog trainer in Amsterdam
Canals, bikes, trams and small apartments. I come to your home anywhere in Amsterdam and train where your dog actually lives.
What I see most here
Bikes and narrow canal paths
There is little room to step aside when a bike or another dog comes by. We teach your dog what to do instead of lunging, and plan routes that set it up to succeed.
Small apartments and steep stairs
Toilet training on the third floor, neighbours on the other side of a thin wall. We build calm alone-time and a toilet routine that works with stairs.
Busy terraces and public transport
Many Amsterdam dogs go everywhere with their people. We practise settling under a café table and staying calm on the tram or ferry.
Off-leash areas
Amsterdam has designated losloopgebieden, like parts of the Amsterdamse Bos. A reliable recall makes them safe and fun.
Training I offer here
Behaviour consultation
The best place to start. A full assessment at home and a clear plan.
Puppy start
Toilet training, biting, alone time and first walks in a busy city.
City manners
Loose-leash walking, recall and calm in cafés, trains and on the street.
Behaviour change
Jumping, barking, guarding, destroying things. We find the cause, then change it.
Reactivity
Lunging and barking at dogs, bikes or people. Walks you can enjoy again.
Anxiety
Separation anxiety, fear of noises and New Year fireworks, fear of people.

Foi maravilhosa a experiência que minha cadela teve com o adestramento do João! Ela teve uma evolução incrível e hoje sem dúvidas é uma cachorra muito mais tranquila e menos ansiosa! Obrigada João.
Translated: My dog had a wonderful experience training with João! She improved incredibly and today she is without a doubt a much calmer, less anxious dog! Thank you, João.Local questions
