Hello and Welcome!

My name is Michael Rudkrantz, and I have over 25 years of experience working with dogs and their owners. My passion for dogs began early, and at 12 years old, I got my first dog, Happy. Since then, I have dedicated my life to understanding and strengthening the interaction between humans and dogs. I have furthered my education in canine behavior and psychology to provide you and your dog with the best possible support.

I have two wonderful dogs myself—Gemma, an 8-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and Honey, a 3-year-old Labrador. These experiences, together with my professional knowledge, have given me a deep understanding of different breeds and their unique needs. This enables me to customize training to fit your dog specifically.

To me, dogs are more than just pets—they are our companions and part of the family. Building a secure and positive relationship with your dog is about creating an environment where both of you thrive. My training method focuses on preventing behavior problems by fostering strong communication and trust between you and your dog, rather than simply managing issues as they arise.

I work with reward-based training methods where your dog's well-being is always at the center. Through positive reinforcement, we lay the foundation for a harmonious everyday life and secure behaviors. These methods not only encourage desirable behaviors but also strengthen the bond between you and your dog. My philosophy is that dogs learn best in a safe environment where they are treated with respect and positive reinforcement. Together, we can build a stable and joyful relationship, where both you and your dog grow and thrive.

My Role as a Canine Behavior Specialist
As a certified canine behavior specialist (canine psychologist), I help dog owners understand their dogs' unique needs and personalities in depth. In my role as a behavior specialist, I analyze the underlying causes of dogs' behaviors and develop a tailored training plan that helps create long-term, positive changes. With a focus on the dog's emotional well-being and the trust between dog and owner, I work to create an environment where the dog can develop safely. The goal is not only to solve specific behavior issues but also to strengthen the relationship between you and your dog, leading to a harmonious and balanced everyday life.

My Courses
Attending a dog training course is a fantastic opportunity for you and your dog to grow together, learn new skills, and strengthen your bond. Whether you've recently brought home a puppy, are a new dog owner, or have years of experience, my courses provide you with the tools you need to create a secure, happy, and harmonious dog. Together, you'll learn to handle everyday challenges with confidence and ease. The knowledge and strategies you gain will be invaluable throughout your shared journey.

Each course is designed to give both you and your dog reliable and proven tools that contribute to well-being and balance in your everyday life.
The courses create an opportunity for you both to grow together—you’ll develop in a way that strengthens your relationship. Here, you’ll learn new skills, deepen your understanding of each other, and build a secure connection. Through practical exercises and shared challenges, we lay the foundation for a balanced and harmonious everyday life where you both thrive and feel safe. Here, you have the chance to build on foundational skills and deepen your cooperation in areas that are particularly important to you. I focus on helping you as a dog owner to better understand your dog, interpret its signals and body language, and respond to it based on its individual needs. Together, we create a daily life where you both thrive and can face new challenges with joy and confidence.

My Passion
My passion is to create a better quality of life for both you and your dog by building a safe and positive environment where you can thrive together. With my extensive experience working with dogs and dog training, along with solid education in canine behavior and psychology, I have developed a deep understanding of what it takes to create a balanced and harmonious relationship between dog and owner.

I offer solutions that are individually tailored to you and your dog's unique needs and circumstances. By focusing on preventive training and strengthening communication between you, I help you create a stable foundation that makes everyday life more secure.

.

My Training Method
I focus on creating security and building a strong, long-lasting relationship between you and your dog. With reward-based training methods, where positive reinforcement underlies both interaction and training, I help you establish a solid foundation for a harmonious daily life. By encouraging desired behaviors in a way that is fun and motivating for your dog, we create an environment where your dog feels safe, understood, and respected.

Every step in the training is carefully designed to provide you with tools and insights that strengthen your relationship and increase your dog's confidence in various everyday situations. The training is not just about learning skills but also about helping you understand your dog's behavior and needs in depth. The goal is for both of you to feel balanced and confident in your interaction, which makes everyday life smoother and enhances the quality of life for both you and your dog.

Course Goals
The goal of my courses is to build a strong and positive relationship between you and your dog, where you both feel secure and balanced. I want you to feel confident in your role as a dog owner and gain the knowledge and tools needed to face everyday challenges with self-assurance. By working with reward-based methods and positive reinforcement, we create an environment where your dog develops in a safe and respectful way, and where you together build a trusting partnership.

During the course, we focus on strengthening your understanding of your dog's behavior and needs so that you can interact with your dog based on its individual personality and circumstances. We also work on practical exercises that lay the foundation for a balanced daily life for both of you—from basic skills that ease interaction to specific exercises that prepare you for more challenging situations.

By creating a positive and secure relationship with your dog, you both gain a stable foundation, making everyday life safer. The goal is for you to feel comfortable and confident in all situations with your dog and for you to enjoy a lifelong relationship filled with joy, understanding, and mutual respect.
