A seal of quality for dog professionals in Sweden
This is a significant milestone for me and my business!
One of the challenges in the dog training industry today is that itโs largely unregulated. Itโs something many people may not think about, yet in practice, it means that anyone can call themselves a dog trainer, behaviorist, coach, or something similar โ regardless of formal education, competence, or broader experience.
The H-mark is a seal of quality that shows that the individual and the business have the education, experience, and knowledge required to help you and your dog in the best possible way. ๐พ
At the same time, I want to acknowledge that there are many skilled and experienced dog professionals out there who may not have formal certifications but possess extensive knowledge and experience and do an amazing job. For me, earning the H-mark isnโt about comparing myself to others. Itโs about demonstrating that I have a broad foundation of knowledge in what I teach, which grows with every new experience. The H-mark also ensures that all approved members work based on modern research and use methods that are both effective and respectful toward the dog.
Personally, I will never claim to be a dog "expert," as the subject of dogs is just as vast as the subject of humans. However, I am constantly curious, eager to learn more, and dedicated to evolving. Iโll never be "done learning," and thatโs exactly how it should be in a professional field.
This journey has been both exciting and educational, and I am incredibly grateful for all the dogs and dog owners Iโve had the privilege to meet along the way. Now, I look forward to continuing to help more people build strong relationships with their four-legged friends, while also taking the next step toward becoming a dog psychologist in this fascinating world! โค๏ธ
Thank you for your trust! ๐
