About Joseph

Hello guys, my name is Joe. I am a professional dog trainer and dog walker (certified by the Veterinary Association of Germany). Recently I moved to Brussels with my wife. I live in Quartier du Châtelain, not far from Bois de la Cambre.


EXPERIENCE:

I grew up in the UK with 4 dogs and I adopted my current dog in 2016 in Berlin, where I have been working full time as a dog walker and trainer. I have tons of experience with all sorts of dogs - big, small, old dogs and puppies, as well as reactive, fearful, skittish, traumatized and dominant dogs.

In Berlin I was walking, running and cycling with my pack every day in the Grunewald Forest - Europe's largest off leash dog area. Most dogs came with behavioural issues which were remedied by socialising the dog in structured pack walks, as well as giving individual training to the owners. Sometimes we had 20+ dogs in our pack.

Thanks to this I've developed a deep understanding of dog behaviour and pack structure. I am aware that dogs have different characters and energy levels, and therefore need different training approaches. As leader of the pack, I give the dogs outlets to channel their energy in positive ways, whilst guiding them away from undesirable habits.

SERVICES:

- Dog Training

Many trainers do not understand why dogs behave like they do. They often use the same training method for every dog, which often involves 'distracting' the dog rather than identifying and treating the root of the problem.

My goal is to help you understand your dog better so you can bring harmony to your pack. I'll help you fulfill your dogs’ needs through exercise, trust, respect, love and assertive leadership, which all dogs need in order to live a balanced life. I also focus heavily on socialisation because, after all, dogs need dogs!

If you need help with your dog, please send me a message. We can organise a meet & greet to discuss your issues and come up with a training plan.

- Dog Walking

If you live near my place in Chatelain, I may be able to help you with dog walking. Feel free to send me a message.

If you have any questions about my services, please do not hesitate to ask.
I look forward to meeting you and your dog :)

Joe has been fantastic with Umberto, a very strong 1 year old male labrador. Umberto was quite reactive to other dogs, and difficult to control, when on leash. Walking with Joe has really helped with his behaviour. I highly recommend Joe as a walker and trainer.

Joe has been wonderful in dealing with my very strong, reactive, male labrador, who was getting very difficult for me to walk. The dog is now walking calmly on leash, thanks to his structured walks with Joe which combine exercise, socialisation and obedience. I would highly recommend Joe as a walker and trainer.

Skills

Specific Skills

I speak English & German
+5 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
Having worked with large packs of dogs for many years, I have extensive knowledge of dog behaviour. I know how to assess a dog's character and can therefore change my approach to suit the dog, building a deeper bond much faster. As a trainer I've worked with all types of dogs with all types of problems. I can help you with leash walking etiquette, walking without a leash, hunting instinct, skittish behaviour, recall, dog socialisation and many other problems. My focus with any dog is to give it what it needs in order to feel safe and fulfilled. By providing balance in the dogs life, I'm able to help them (and the owners) overcome problems and live a happy life together.
