Barbora McMahon

Instructor of individual lessons

My name is Barbora and I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. Australian Shepherds have a special place in my heart and I have a soft spot especially for teenage dogs, reactive dogs and shy souls.

Even though I grew up surrounded by dogs, it was an Aussie named Bernie who turned my life upside down in 2021,

teaching me how to communicate with dogs and truly understand them. Bernie gave me the courage to leave the polished corporate world behind and swap it for a clicker, treat pouch and sneakers, and finally do whatmakes sense to me and where I feel completely in my element.

I completed the Jde To Team academy for dog instructors and I keep learning and seeking inspiration from leading trainers both in this country and abroad.

My work is my calling and I strive for my clients to become true partners with their dogs, in

every situation. To trust each other and to enjoy living together. Thanks to dog training I am constantly

learning something new, pushing the boundaries of my own abilities and discovering new challenges.

With my own dogs I practice canistherapy, which I also pass on to other human–dog teams as a lecturer

of canistherapy courses.

I also train in English.
