MÉZI AND LU
YOUR DOG LED YOU HERE
Hey, I am Lu, a certified dog behaviorist
My pet-sitting-, therapy-, and training programs are rooted in positive reinforcement, science, compassion, and a deep understanding of canine behavior. I prioritize your dog's emotional well-being and create a fear-free learning environment. Join me on a joyful journey of canine companionship!

ABOUT ME
I started dog walking 22 years ago when we adopted our first mastiff, Marcipan. In 2010 I joined the Take Me Home! Foundation, where I volunteered for 10+ years. In 2011 I completed the Animal Welfare Training, then in 2012, I went to Ireland on a Europass grant, where I lived and worked with 300 animals at Littlehill Sanctuary. In 2021, I graduated from the "SciDog - The Dog University" with Cum Laude qualification. In 2022, I started my preparation for the IAABC exams, and I am currently continuing my studies in this field, along with my studies in owner and dog training. I work with the Fear-free method, using reward-based, motivation-centered, cooperative techniques, which I impart to the owner and dog through playful learning.
