Welcome to Big Mouth !
I am Trieze
I am a certified and, above all, passionate dog trainer and behavior therapist. As a behavioral trainer, I specialize in the psychology of dogs and guiding their owners. I have a great passion for dogs and animals in general, but working with people also gives me great satisfaction. My goal is to teach you and your dog to work together as a real team! The fact is that the dog cannot change if its human(s) do not change. That is why I always work closely with my clients and do everything I can to help them with their dog(s).
I am very eager to learn and see myself as an eternal student. Working and living with dogs is a learning process that never stands still. Gaining knowledge did not stop after obtaining my diplomas (clinical dog behavior therapist, behavior judge, dog instructor,...). I have and will continue to learn from scientific studies, the latest training techniques, from other trainers/specialists... Over the years I have followed various training courses at home and abroad.
Hoe werk ik?
I work with dog owners who realize that true love for their dog is more than just cuddling. Instead, they are looking for a deep bond and good communication with their well-behaved dog. This requires collaboration. That is why the focus during the lessons will be on both you and your dog and your relationship.
​
I also have a lot of experience with training and rehoming shelter dogs. In recent years I have worked closely with several organizations to help with rehoming, making matches with the right family and of course behavioral training. So I work with dogs with the most diverse problems, from aggression to jumping up.
So I work with dogs of all sizes, colors and shapes and with various problems. All this with respect for the dog's individuality and a goal in mind. I always think it is important that the dog feels supported, has fun and wants to work for its owner.
My positive approach and consistent structure ensure that communication and bond with your dog strengthen. We highlight the dog's natural talents and make him/her a productive member of the family. The dog becomes part of a team where he can get the best out of himself. A team based on safety, mutual respect and lots of fun!
​
I don't like a rough, brutal approach, that's not who I am. But the purely positive working method also often leaves much to be desired. Throughout my years of experience and training, I found a balance based on respect, honesty and clear communication. My working method has evolved over the years, but the common thread has always remained the same: clear communication and fun.
I think dogs can have a big mouth, but above all they should be able to be themselves. What I don't do is shut that 'big' mouth up. What I do do is, together with you, turn that BIG MOUTH into something fun!
