About me

Hi, I’m Marion!
I am a COAPE certified animal behaviourist (CCAB) and completed my Diploma in Animal Behaviour (DipCABT, with distinction) in 2026. I also hold a veterinary degree from the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hannover, Germany, and a PhD from the University of Pretoria, South Africa.

While much of my professional work over the past years has focused on wildlife conservation and wild animal welfare, dogs have been a constant and meaningful part of my life for more that a decade. I am now excited to dedicate my professional focus on companion animals, particularly dogs, combining scientific expertise with practical real-world understanding.

I share my life with 5 rescue dogs and understand both the challenges and deep joy of living with them. I am here to help you build clarity, trust and lasting connection with your dog(s) – creating a relationship that feels confident, harmonious and sustainable.

My approach to training and behaviour modification is grounded in force-free, reward-based methods supported by behavioural science and a strong commitment to animal welfare.
