Hi,
I'm MIRKA
I am so grateful you are here!
About Me
I am a professional dog walker and trainer committed to delivering top-notch structured dog walking and training services. I take joy in witnessing dogs thrive and enhance their lives alongside their human companions. Join me on this journey, and let's create success stories together!
​
I was surrounded by dogs from early childhood. My family always had a canine companion, laying the groundwork for my profound connection with these loyal friends. At the age of 17, I welcomed my German Shepherd (GSD). Training classes initially proved successful, but when Dusty entered his teenage phase, challenges arose. A trainer's comment led to a pause in classes, causing Dusty to develop human reactivity and barrier frustration. Alongside Dusty, I shared a close bond with a lovely Cocker Spaniel.
​
Upon moving to London, I missed having a canine companion. After research, Buddy the Chihuahua became the perfect flat-dwelling companion—loving, obedient, and versatile in various environments.
​
In early 2022, I embarked on my journey in canine expertise by enrolling in the Advanced Canine Training and Behavior Course at the Will Atherton Academy. The course became a source of passion and fulfillment for me.
​
By the end of 2022, feeling discontent with my 9-5 job, I decided to launch my own dog walking business as a side venture. To enhance my skills, I took the opportunity to shadow professional dog walker and trainer - Olive Walks, in the beginning of 2023. This experience introduced me to the world of structured dog walking, laying the foundation for my approach.
​
Continuing my pursuit of knowledge, I furthered my education in dog training by joining the LMK9 and PAWSAMINUTE mentorship program later in the year. Buddy, my faithful Chihuahua companion, became an integral part of this learning journey. I took immense pride in Buddy's confidence in using various equipment at the training facility and showcasing a high level of obedience comparable to larger breeds like German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and Dobermans.
​
My commitment to continuous learning and practical experience underscores my dedication to providing top-tier dog care services.
