Dog Behavior
HUULIK Canine Behavior helps you bringing harmony back to your relationship with your dog
Understanding • Behavior Modification • Managing Daily Life & Environment • Family System Analysis • Respecting Both Animals and Humans
Here, there’s no quick-fix solution, but an approach that considers the entire system. I invite you to shift your perspective and transform your life with your dog—and perhaps even beyond.
Is living with your dog a daily struggle?
Feeling overwhelmed by your dog’s behavior?
I help you regain a peaceful life and a fulfilling relationship.
You’re a dog owner, parent, or guardian. You love your dog and want the best for them…
Yet, sometimes their behavior creates challenges. You both feel restricted, daily life can feel overwhelming, and the judgment of others may weigh on you. I’m here to help you navigate these moments, regain freedom, and build a joyful, harmonious life together.

HUULIK Canine Behavior: My Philosophy
I work exclusively with positive, respectful methods and without the use of force, for the well-being of both your dog and yourself. Indeed, violence or punishment only lead to negative consequences on your dog’s learning abilities and damage the relationship you are trying to build with them.
My approach is based on respecting the needs of dogs as the foundation for their well-being and development. This includes biological needs, as well as emotional, social, and cognitive needs, all addressed through force-free training.
I am a graduate of ISCP, the International School for Canine Psychology and Behavior, and I continue to train regularly to provide you with the best possible service.
What to expect in a canine behavior consultation?
During a canine behavior consultation, your dog’s behavior, living environment, and relationships with you and other family members are evaluated. A dog’s behavior can be influenced by many factors, so it’s important to have a comprehensive view of the system in which they live. I will ask you questions and observe your dog’s behavior. The results of the analysis will be provided to you, along with proposed solutions to improve behavior.
If you choose to continue beyond the initial assessment, you will receive guidance in each session to address the different issues you may encounter. All sessions are fully personalized. Consultations can also take place via Zoom.

HUULIK Canine Behavior: Online Consultations
Consultations can also take place online. Thanks to current technology, it’s easy to film and communicate remotely with sufficient audio and video quality.
Why choose online consultations? They offer many advantages. With online sessions, there’s no intrusion of a stranger into your dog’s life, which could disrupt the balance, create or increase stress and anxiety, or simply cause excitement. Moreover, the initial consultation is largely dedicated to evaluating your challenges and goals, which mainly involves discussion and interaction between you and me.
Additionally, you know your dog best, and you are the one sharing their lives. It is therefore essential that you play a central role in implementing changes—whether it’s managing the environment, modifying behavior, or establishing new routines. You will be trained to become your dog’s trainer. My goal is to make you as autonomous as possible in your dog’s education, so you can continue making progress together every day between sessions.
During in-home sessions, as well as online, exercises will be explained to you in detail, and adjustments will be made as needed.
A little bonus: online sessions are also easier on your wallet, since there are no travel costs! If you still prefer in-person consultations, they are of course possible within my service area.
How HUULIK Canine Behavior Can Help You
HUULIK Canine Behavior works on your dog’s behavior within their living environment, respecting their individual traits and well-being. We examine the causes of problematic behaviors and explore possible solutions. The goal is to help you live in harmony with your dog, for both their well-being and yours. My approach is based on simple principles:
Each living being is unique
That’s why it is essential to consider the individual traits of all participants in the human-dog relationship, in order to pursue respectful and lasting solutions, and to (re)establish healthier, more balanced interactions for everyone.
Every relationship is unique
Every relationship is unique, just like the individuals in it. Working on your dog’s behavior also helps you grow, positively impacting your bond with your dog—and potentially with others, and yourself. Our goal as canine behaviorists is not only to address unwanted behaviors, but to guide you toward a deeper, more harmonious connection.
Relationships evolve
Relationships are never fixed—they are always evolving. I help you create more harmonious connections, where each party can interact respectfully and lovingly, allowing the bond to grow naturally.
The Impact of the Environment
Every animal (including humans!) exhibits behaviors in response to the environment in which they live. That’s why considering your dog’s living environment, as well as analyzing the family system, is essential for resolving behavioral issues.
How Can I Help You as a Canine Behaviorist?
Are you experiencing behavioral problems with your dog? I work with people who want to improve their relationship with their dog, as well as the well-being of both dog and owner. My goal as a canine behaviorist is to help you:
- Decode your dog’s body language
- Understand the causes of their behavior by analyzing their environment as well as their past
- Find solutions to address problematic behaviors—such as separation anxiety, fear, reactivity, or bad manners—in a way that respects both dog and human, promoting acceptable behaviors
- Build a stronger connection with your dog through better communication and clearer transmission of your expectations
Communication
In a relationship like the one between a dog and their guardian, both parties influence each other’s well-being. That’s why communication is the cornerstone of the relationship. Establishing or reestablishing clear two-way communication is essential for a fulfilling bond. Poor information exchange between the two can lead to frustration, which may cause stress, nervousness, and potentially fear or anger.
Misunderstandings or misinterpretations of a dog’s communication prevent owners from responding appropriately and implementing suitable solutions. Likewise, a dog’s misunderstanding of the guardian’s intentions can stop them from behaving as expected. And this can happen even when both human and dog have the best intentions. These factors can all contribute to behavioral issues.
A dog whose needs are fully met is a happy dog. Being aware of your dog’s needs is therefore crucial. Communication is key, because in your relationship with your dog, their well-being and yours are interconnected.

Atypical profiles welcome (gifted, ASD, ADHD, etc.).
Restore serenity
Do you want to develop a calmer relationship and a happier dog? If your dog is anxious, reactive, or overly excited, and you find daily life together challenging, I offer a comprehensive analysis to help you understand the root causes of the problem and identify the first steps to improve both your life and your dog’s.
My philosophy is based on respect for each partner in the relationship, taking into account individual differences. Only positive, respectful methods are used.
