DOG AND CAT BEHAVIOUR AND TRAINING CONSULTATIONS IN ENGLISH
Dog and cat behavior and training consultations are carried out remotely.
Does your pet have an unwanted behavior that you would like professional advice and support for? Or would you like to teach your pet something, but don’t know how to start?
The earlier you address the unwanted behaviour, the easier it is to modify the situation. Modifying behaviour is a process that often consists of several parts and can take time.
In a behavior consultation, we take a closer look at the problem. We don’t just focus on the symptom, but on the cause behind the behaviour. What causes the behavior and what maintains it? We also think about management i.e. what we could change in your pet’s everyday life. In addition, depending on the situation, we will look at suitable exercises for you to do at home. However, the actual training is in the hands of the owner.
Positive reinforcement training methods based on behavioural science and learning psychology are used. Animal trainer Eliza Kasztelan-Rodriguez is responsible for behavioural and training consultations for dogs and cats.

My name is Eliza. Animals and their well-being have been my passion since I was a little girl. When I was a kid my nickname was Dr. Doolittle. Back then I only had my love and compassion for animals but throughout the years I have accrued a wealth of experience and knowledge in animal training and behaviour modification.
My lifetime passion began when I was a little girl who helped rescue dogs and cats. I have always been surrounded by animals and my own family always includes animals.
At the moment my family includes four dogs, four cats, two guinea pigs and a lizard (bearded dragon). I have also worked with assistant and guide dogs in Sweden and Finland. In Sweden I also participated in a bumblebee conservation project which consisted in relying on a dog’s nose, finding the nest and then allowing the specialists to move bumblebees to a new safe environment. I have also worked with numerous species of animals in Korkeasaari where I focused on teaching new behaviours such as voluntary medical behaviors or helping animals with unwanted behaviours as well as taking care of orphaned, wounded or sick animals.
As far as my formal education is concerned my adventure began in Porvoo where I completed ’Hundkonsult’ program (dog trainer and behaviour consultant program) in Borgå folkakademi. After that I completed my studies at the University of Oxford in Animal Behaviour. Since then  I have continued to expand my education, including attending the prestigious Karen Pryor Academy and becoming a Certified Training Partner (KPA-CTP), as well as completing the master course in Aggression in Dogs with Michael Shikashio, Click to Calm, Puppy Start Right with Karen Pryor Academy, Behavior + Works (LLA) with Dr. Susan G. Friedman, Feline Behavior Solutions (IAABC) and many more. Every year I participate in numerous continuing education courses, webinars and conferences.
In my work with animals and their families I focus on helping pet owners develop a strong and loving bond with their furry companions.
