My name is Pianka and I am an Estonian-born London based dog handler, professional trainer and person living with a chronic condition called PoTS. For this, I am supported by my assistance dog, Athena, a wonderful dobermann who helps me navigate this world every day. As a dog trainer, I have worked with a wide range of breeds including rottweilers, labradors, golden retrievers, pointers, cocker spaniels, staffordshire bull terriers, samoyeds, tibetan mastiffs, huskies, alaskan malamutes, pomeranians, poodles, dobermanns, west highland terriers, border terriers, setters, to name a few.

My mission is to advocate for responsible dog ownership, nurturing happy relationships between dogs and their owners.

I have completed courses and received qualifications in dog training (2015 + 2017), dog obedience CPD (2017), canine nutrition (2019 + 2022), dog behaviour (2017), canine first aid (2025), health and safety at work (2024), and professional dog grooming (2019-2023). I’m currently completing the Canine Conditioning and Rehabilitation course under the IAAT CPD.
