About me

Photo of Daria Rizo

My name is Daria Rizo. I’m originally from Russia, and for the past six years I’ve been helping dogs and their people understand each other better.

I work with humane, evidence-based approaches. My goal is to help dogs grow more confident and gradually expand their comfort zones, while supporting owners in building calm, trusting relationships with their pets. I focus on clear communication and mutual understanding, without force or distress. No shouting, fear, or pain.

And yes, I can also teach your dog to turn off the lights and blow bubbles in water.

Outside of training, I’m actively involved in dog sports. You can find me at Rally Obedience training sessions at Hundesportverein Plänterwald.
