Cayman Island, Grand Cayman and how problems can just be puzzles to solve
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?
Following passion
Knowing what you want to do is a first great step but following it is a milestone.
Pet sitting from Poland to Cayman Island - on how I’m making my dreams come true.
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.
Why do I consider myself being an animal trainer, not just a dog trainer?
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.
Friendly dog doesn’t have to play with every other dog
We’ve been led to believe that well-socialised dog is friendly towards all dogs. And even though it might be the case, this doesn't apply to all dogs. A dog doesn’t have to get along with every other dog just as much as we don’t have to get along with every other human.
Dogs’ body language as a way of communication part 1
Our dogs don’t use English (or any other human language) but they communicate with us through their body language.
Giving your dog a choice
We often think that when we give choice to our dogs, they just won’t do anything that we would like them to do. But from my experience, the more choice you give them, the more likely they will be to spend time with you.
How I got here
During my training and volunteer work with animals I discovered that communication between us needs to be mutual.
