Who I am

Hello, I’m Veronica, a certified behaviorist dog trainer with a deep passion for helping dogs and their owners thrive. Originally from Italy, I’m a 35-year-old woman who has traveled the world, living in vibrant cities like London and Australia before settling in Bonn, Germany, drawn to its calm atmosphere and welcoming community. My love for dogs began in childhood, growing up surrounded by their boundless energy and loyalty. My parents would often find me in my grandparents’ dog’s kennel after work, playing with their dog and already showing my deep connection with canines.

My journey to becoming a dog trainer started when I met my Border Collie, Mate. His challenging behaviors tested me, prompting me to study canine behavior for years and experiment with various training techniques. After developing my own effective method, I pursued formal certification to solidify my expertise. I love problem-solving and pour my heart and soul into every dog I train, helping them rediscover their balance and guiding them and their owners on a path of growth.

As I always say, a dog enters our life at a specific moment to teach us something profound. ♥️

What they say about me

  • Three dogs being walked on leashes on a paved sidewalk, with a white wall and brick wall in the background.

    We were extremely happy with the exceptional service provided by Veronica. She did a great job with our 1.5 years old Australian shepherd. We booked 4 dog walks of about 45min/1h and it went amazingly well. Our dog even had the opportunity to have a four-legged buddy for her walks - Veronica's border collie, Mate. They got along super well and Veronica could even train them together during the scheduled time. In addition, we got tons of photos and videos of their training/walking sessions. Veronica is very responsive, and very, very helpful. Given her knowledge, we also clarified some questions we had related to leash training and general dog behaviour and training gear. We highly recommend Veronica's services and we'll certainly request her again to take care of our dog.

    My dog is currently being trained by Veronica. I am very grateful for the exceptional progress my dog Gucci has made under her guidance. When we initially started training, my dog had a snipping issue that we were struggling with for almost 8 years and that was quite challenging. However, thanks to Veronica's expertise and patient approach, I've witnessed a remarkable improvement in his behavior. Her training methods have not only addressed the snipping issue but have also created a positive and trusting environment for my dog to learn and grow. I appreciate her dedication and the personalized attention she provides to each training session. Thank you Veronica once again for your outstanding work. I highly recommend Veronica's services to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate dog

    We booked Veronica for an overnight stay of our Rhodesian Ridgeback female dog during our absence. Very fast we learned that Veronica isn't only a trustful and responsive dogsitter, but does also passionately a very skilful training if desired as in our case. There were still some "construction sites" with our only one year old dog that Veronica worked on prudently and professionally. After the stay Veronica was perfectly able to analyze potential for further improvement. She gave us exact advice and is still very interested in the results of our domestic training. We unconditionally and highly recommend Veronica not only as a trustful dog carer but also as a skilful trainer. Thank you so much for your valuable services, Veronica!

    Our dog Momo was with Veronica for a few days and she did an amazing job. Our dog loved being with her and we also enjoyed the easy communication. Veronica spend an extra time with Momo at the beginning and we felt really comfortable leaving our dog at her place. She gave our dog a lot of love and integrated him in her family. We are very thankful and appreciate the passion she puts in the training with dogs. I can highly recommend her to my friends and family. Thank you so much !

    Veronica is very experienced with dogs, and we trusted her 100% with our 9-month-old Weimaraner. She really knows what she is doing, and our dog was very comfortable with her even though it was his first time sleeping somewhere new. Veronica sent us regular updates on our dog and was very friendly and professional.

    Our original dog sitter cancelled at short notice in the summer. What initially seemed like a disaster turned out to be a real stroke of luck thanks to Veronica. Preparatory appointments and instructions for training at home gave us, as owners, new confidence and our dog more security. During her stay, Sammy received training and we received photos and videos showing her immense progress. We are very happy with Veronica, who is an asset as a trainer and as a person.
