About the Trainer
Catja has been a professional trainer in Denmark for 8 years having studied with Morten Egtvedt & Cecilie Koste. In 2017 she was invited to speak at Clicker Expo in Denmark. She has two competition dogs at the moment; one competes at elite level in a multi-disciplinary sport for working dogs that includes tracking, search & rescue and obedience. Her second dog is younger and being trained to compete later. Catja also works with the Danish Customs department training their scent dogs.

The weekend will be a fun activity for dogs at all levels.
