Pursuing what you truly want to pursue can be scary. But we all can break that fear and go together to achieve more. Armed with knowledge and kindness we can make a change in this world. Let's act now.

Training animals is far bigger term than many people think. It’s about empowering them and giving them a choice. It’s more like educating them. The question is, will we make that effort to educate ourselves? And it's not about judging one another and fighting with each other on who is right. As long as we continue to educate ourselves and let others do the same, we can massively improve the welfare of all the animals we interact with.

I’m learning from every dog that I interact with! All dogs have different set of behaviours and different preferences. What works for one, might not work for the second one at all. Sometimes you need to be very creative to solve a training puzzle (not problem!) Animals are my greatest teachers! That’s why I decided to pet-sit. And why not combine it with travelling and seeing incredible places?

Knowing what you want to do is a first great step but following it is a milestone.

I decided to go on a travelling journey. But I’m not going to stop learning and growing as a pet professional. I’m going to do some petsits and learn from every animal that I meet on my way.

Zoo animal trainers do extraordinary things with animals they care for. They are able to train voluntary blood draws, coming back to enclosure after being freed and many other husbandry behaviours. If they can do that with wild animals, I’m sure we can do that with companion animals too.

During my training and volunteer work with animals I discovered that communication between us needs to be mutual.
