A Swiss childhood surrounded by dogs
Flurina Stocker’s passion for dogs was ignited during her childhood in Switzerland, where she grew up surrounded by six dogs.
This early exposure instilled a profound appreciation for the unique behaviours and emotional capabilities of canines. Flurina's formative experiences taught her the importance of empathy and connection in animal care, shaping her commitment to animal welfare and high training standards.
Innovative Training Techniques
Beyond her professional endeavours, Flurina is dedicated to continuous learning and growth in the field of dog training, behaviour and psychology.
She actively seeks out the latest research and advancements in canine behaviour, ensuring that her methods remain at the forefront of the industry.
This commitment led to her to complete the Training Without Conflict™ program which is led by two-time World Champion and 17-time National Champion (US) Ivan Balabanov.
This innovative approach has revolutionised the dog training industry, and only a handful of trainers in the UK hold this certification. Find out more about Ivan Balabanov here.
Teaching Owners ‘Dog Language’
Flurina’s passion for dogs inspires her to promote their well-being; and to educate others about the incredible emotional bonds that dogs form with their human companions.
Through her work, she has helped countless owners with behaviour modification, demonstrating her ability to assist dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. Her extensive experience includes pursuing IGP (International Gebrauchshund Prüfungsordnung) with her Malinois, Jax, as well as caring for her two Rottweilers, Breeze and Ember.
Flurina strives to create a community of informed dog owners who approach training with compassion, understanding, clarity, and consistency. Her commitment to enhance the lives of both dogs and their families reflects her belief that every interaction should be rooted in a deep respect for the intelligence and emotional depth of our canine companions. Since 2022, Flurina has been recognised as the highest-rated dog trainer in Berkshire.
My vision for the future is to create more awareness about dogs, their personalities and their psychology and ultimately show how dog owners can build unbreakable bonds with their dog.
The dog training world is constantly developing and changing and it is now time for people to make the right choices for their dog.
Attain the "Canine Sense": a true understanding of dogs and their psychology—the key to successful behaviour change.
