Dog Trainer · Egaleo & Athens

My professional journey began in the world of quantum optimization, with an MSc in Electrical Engineering. At the same time, though, my closeness to nature always left me fascinated by how animals behave and interact.

Through my contact with animals and my everyday interactions with them, I kept noticing the huge gap in communication between humans and animals. And the animal that often suffers most from our inability to understand it is the dog.

So I started studying at Dog Friendly Academy. I began to understand how intensely dogs try to express their needs and boundaries, and how often those messages go unnoticed or misunderstood. That realization is what pushed me to become a dog trainer, with the goal of helping people build secure bonds with their dogs, grounded in trust and in the well-being of both.

As I began my journey in dog training, I quickly noticed an extremely polarized community when it comes to training methods. As in any field without clear professional standards, dog training has its share of uninformed and half-trained people, whether they call themselves balanced trainers or positive trainers.

Even so, anyone who wants to live in harmony with nature has a responsibility to move alongside it, not compete with it. It is therefore the duty of trainers to contribute to the overall well-being of dogs, to help dogs be heard, and not to follow outdated techniques based on suppression, fear and intimidation, only to then present a “shut-down” animal as a calm one.

If we work together, we will use only force-free, non-coercive methods, and we will look at your dog as holistically as we can: their emotions, their needs and their well-being, not just their behavior.

I believe that the way we view life, our perceptions of human and animal rights, and our understanding of equality and solidarity between species deeply influence the way we treat animals and, by extension, the way we train them.

Not using aversives, intimidation or fear to suppress any behavior is not a choice; it is a reflection of how we understand and coexist with the world around us.

So if you have a puppy or an adult dog who struggles with certain triggers, you'd like them to learn new behaviors, or they find it hard to be left home alone, let's work together!

With patience, understanding and training, we can help them feel safer and more confident, while building a relationship based on trust and mutual respect.

Because when we understand each other better, both the dog and our bond with them can truly bloom.
