Welcome! I’m Nadja Juliana Wiese (VSA-CDT, FDM, Fear Free Certified Professional)

For over 20 years, I’ve worked closely with dogs and their people - starting in professional pet care and eventually discovering my true passion: helping dogs and humans build trust and communicate better. Today, I specialize in positive, science-based training that strengthens relationships and supports emotional well-being.

My Specialties Are:

Fearful and reactive dogs
Cooperative care and husbandry training
Enrichment and meeting dogs' behavioral needs
Helping people better understand the “why” behind behavior

Whether we’re working one-on-one or you're using one of my courses, planners, or digital resources, my goal is to help you:

Understand how your dog thinks, learns, and communicates
Set up your home and routines to support your dog’s emotional health
Recognize your dog’s instincts, genetics, and individual needs
Build connection and cooperation through communication - not control

Why Work With a Certified Trainer?

Dog training is an unregulated industry - anyone can call themselves a trainer. My professional certifications mean I’ve committed to ethical standards, evidence-based methods, and ongoing education. Training should never come at the cost of a dog’s emotional or physical health. That’s a commitment I take seriously.

Recent continuing education includes:
