About Brilliant Nose
My name is Valli, and I founded Brilliant Nose to provide dogs and dog owners with reward-based, scientifically backed methods to ensure happy dogs and lasting bonds.
At Brilliant Nose, a holistic view of dog training is embraced, focusing on understanding why a dog behaves a certain way. Understanding the reasons behind a dog's actions helps provide the right care and support, while just focusing on the symptoms, ignoring behavior or using force can lead to stress, harm, untreated medical issues, or anxiety.
I'm currently living in Stockholm and sharing my life with my best friend, a 5-year-old miniature poodle.

SERVICES AND FEES
At Brilliant Nose, I offer personalized dog training services tailored to meet the unique needs of each dog and owner. While I mainly provide private sessions, I am happy to create custom group courses if you want to bring a few friends and their dogs together for a customized training sessions.
I offer sessions in Swedish and in English.
Pawsitive Start: Private Session for Puppies
Getting a new fluffy family member is amazing, but it's not always a walk in the park (pun intended). Puppies need to sleep, get socialized, be potty trained, learn to stop biting, walk on a leash, come when called, and much more. This course covers the basic needs of your puppy and provides the tools to foster a great relationship with your new family member.
This course can be customized if your puppy will be living in the city. If your dog is over 6 months, check out the "Excited Paws: Private Training for Teenagers" instead.

Behavior Problems Analysis (Coming Soon)
When regular positive reinforcement training tips haven’t worked, this upcoming service will help by looking deeper into why your dog is behaving a certain way. The first part of the process will involve understanding the current situation thoroughly, aimed at identifying the root cause. Based on this, I will create a custom action plan for you and your dog to improve the situation for both of you.
