About Miranda, founder of Dogschool Axarquia 

Hello, my name is Miranda, Born in the Netherlands on 30 December 1970.
During my training as a kynological instructor, I discovered many similarities between the dog and us as humans. That only sparked my passion to learn even more about the behavior of dogs. It led to the start of Dogschool Axarquia . I want to teach others to understand why dogs do the way they do. What exactly do they mean and what do they say with their attitude? At Dogschool  Axarquia you learn to deal more consciously with your dog. When enough trust is built up between you, a beautiful, unbreakable connection is created.

About Karel, trainer of Dogschool Axarquia 

Hi!  Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. For almost 40 years, I have shared my life with Belgian Tervuren Shepherds, training and working with them in both obedience and agility.After a long career in management consultancy, I retired two years ago and finally had the opportunity to spend more time doing something I have always enjoyed: working with dogs. Since then, I have become increasingly involved in building and developing Dogschool Axarquía and, most importantly, training dogs and their owners. I have also started my formal education as a canine instructor and have successfully completed the first parts of the programme.

For me, dog training is not about creating the “perfect” dog. It is about understanding the dog in front of you, building trust and communication, and helping dog and owner become a good team. And, of course, enjoying the process along the way.

The unbreakable connection

Everyone is welcome, from young to old, from poodle to shepherd. We look together at what best suits the needs of you and your dog. Whether you have a puppy, adolescent, reactive dog or a sporty four-legged friend at home. It is especially important that you really want to connect with your dog.

Where do we train?

At Dogschool Axarquia we train on a large field in Competa, where we can do all the things your dog needed. The field is completly fences, so dogs can also walk for free if they want. 

If you need lessons in the village, because your dog is afraid or something like that, then we will go to the village.

It is also possible to take a lesson with the whole family, so that everyone can connect with the dog and get along with it.
