Stefan Rau
founder and entrepreneur
who is empathetic, communicative and passionate

I love my job as an entrepreneur and lawyer just as much as my job as a dog trainer. There are many parallels between these two „worlds“ that make my life so unique: both as a lawyer and as a dog trainer, I have to be able to adapt to my counterpart in order to understand him or her and respond to his or her very specific problem situation with sound advice and expertise! There are equally two parties with whom I am allowed to work: the owner and his friend-on-4paws!

Cleo and I have been to many dog trainers, but none have been able to help us like Stefan. Thank you for that - his instinct for dogs and also for people is just great. We felt understood - Stefan can be recommended without reservation.

We met Stefan by chance when he spontaneously helped us to recapture our lost dog - he immediately gave us valuable tips. Inspired by his intuition , we booked five training sessions and learnt more about our Phoebe than in all the YouTube videos and dog training sessions put together. Stefan takes an individual approach to the personality of each dog and each owner and gives practical, easy-to-implement advice. Our dog mastered a perfect recall after just one lesson, and we learnt just as quickly how she can run to us in dangerous situations and seek protection from us. Stefan is not only competent, but also a person with a big heart and a wonderful sense of humour - an absolute recommendation.
