A 2-days workshop in Trust Technique

where you will learn to respond to your dog’s reactions
in a way that creates calm, cooperation, and real change.

Do you have a dog where everyday life doesn’t quite work?

Maybe it’s about stress, reactions, or a feeling that you’re not really reaching each other.

You may have tried different approaches — yet something still feels missing.

This is a workshop in Trust Technique
– but not like a typical course.

We don’t start with what you should do with your dog.
We start with how you meet what arises, and how that affects the relationship between you.

Over these two days, I guide you through the foundations of Trust Technique, with a focus on Creative Reaction.

You will be introduced to the three elements of Trust Technique — Creative Reaction, Realisation Learning, and Trusted Cooperation — and how they connect in practice.

Through demonstrations and guidance, you will see and experience how the work looks in real life, and you’ll feel for yourself how stillness and presence affect the dog.

On day two, we go deeper.
We work with different dogs and situations, and you’ll practice noticing the more subtle aspects — timing, distance, and your own influence in the moment. The aim is not just for you to understand, but to feel how change can begin.

We finish by creating a sustainable plan for how you can take this work home to your own dog. An online follow-up session is included.

  • Snow-covered landscape with a bright blue sky and the sun visible overhead. A line of hikers with backpacks and gear is trekking across the snow, leaving a trail behind.

    Over two days, we focus on:

    ✔ How you can respond to your dog’s reactions in the moment
    ✔ How your own state of mind affects your dog
    ✔ How calm and cooperation can be built
    ✔ How change can begin without you needing to do more

  • A snowy landscape with a line of sled dog teams and mushers, set against a backdrop of snow-covered mountains and a clear blue sky.

    What’s included:

    ✔ 2-day in-person workshop
    ✔ In-depth exploration of Trust Technique – theory and practical work with a focus on Creative Reaction
    ✔ Hands-on work with dogs
    ✔ Personal guidance in a small group (max. 6 participants)
    ✔ Online follow-up session with your own dog
    ✔ Coffee breaks and a light lunch included each day

  • A vast snow-covered landscape with a small cluster of houses and a winding road through a forest of leafless trees, surrounded by mountains under a clear blue sky.

    This workshop is for you if you:

    ✔ experience challenges in everyday life with your dog
    ✔ want to create change, not just manage situations
    ✔ are curious about a different way of working

    No prior experience with Trust Technique is required.

    Where is the workshop held?

    The workshop takes place at our kennel in Laukkuluspa, just outside Kiruna, in Swedish Lapland

    We work with my dogs during the sessions.
    This allows you to relax more easily and take in what is happening — without pressure or performance.

    When you return home, you are ready to meet your own dog in a new way.
