Live and learn with your dog - full of joy!
Hello my name is
In 1987 I turned my passion into my career and became self-employed as a dog trainer.
In 2004 I founded the dog school "McWolfie" with its own dog sports hall.
How it all began...
My father trained German Shepherds for soldiers in World War II.
This means that I am basically pre-loaded with dog knowledge and a love for dogs.
I had my first experiences in the area of training and dealing with dogs with my own dogs.
In 1989 I started teaching as a trainer in a dog club in Augsburg (I was a doctor's assistant in my main job, then a foreign language correspondent and management assistant)
In 1995 I completed an internship at the guide dog school “Blickpunkt” in Hesse
