My Story
Fabienne Delavy
how it started
Early 2023 my first dog moved in. I was overly excited as I had waited for this moment for years. However, I was soon hit by the “puppy blues,” as things did not work out as I had dreamed of and soon after puberty kicked in things got even worse. I seemed to do almost everything wrong that one could do wrong.
trial & error
My furry darling and I experienced many failures and lots of frustration. But giving up was not an option. I knew that there must be a solution. So I tried different training approaches, downloaded countless apps and listened to many advices. Nothing was sustainable – one step forward – one step back – and so on.
time for change
I was missing individual coaching approaches, tailored for my tiny Yorkshire-Terrier-Bolonka boy and for me as a first-time dog-mom. I needed a dog trainer fulfilling our needs so that’s what I became. After many days of studying and practicing at Kynologie Schweiz, I am now a certified dog and puppy trainer.
my journey - my committment
Things have changed a lot for the good and my dog & I are still on a journey. Now I’m thankful for all the experiences and up’s & down’s, as these are my drivers to do it differently. I strongly believe that tailormade, soul- and heartful dog & dog-pawrent coaching with respecting all involved individuals is the key to success.
