Katrin graduated as a veterinarian from the University of Munich, Germany in 1999 after which she spent 7 years working in a variety of practices in the UK. During this time, Katrin earnt the RCVS “Certificate in Veterinary Anaesthesia” and completed a doctorate thesis in animal behaviour before moving to the UAE in 2006.

Enchanted by the UAE and its opportunities, Katrin opened her own small animal clinic - the German Veterinary Clinic - in Abu Dhabi in 2008. The clinic grew from herself and 2 nurses to a team of over 28 in the space of 14 years and is the first ISFM Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic in the Middle East. During this time, Katrin developed a huge passion for Veterinary Behaviour Medicine and animal welfare and her team is the first to become Fear Free Certified in the Middle East.

Katrin feels strongly that the mental and emotional health of her patients are as important as their physical health.

Aside from the clinical aspects of her work, Katrin has become a passionate entrepreneur who loves developing business opportunities and networks, which includes creating and extending her online and media presence. As an example of this, Katrin has a regular spot on the Dubai Eye radio station as a guest speaker for all things pets and has had numerous articles published.

Holly is a multi species force-free crossover trainer, certified trick dog instructor/triple crown coach and a force-free content creator. She is currently working through her DN – DTC, a force-free dog training distinction with DogNostics. She is also a full time reptile breeder and stays busy looking after her many personal pets on her and her husband’s farm in northern Ontario, Canada.

Animals have been an obsession from day one and Holly always knew she was going to make a living surrounded by them. She taught the family dog a few tricks as a kid and was completely hooked on training since then.

After discovering trick titles, Holly quickly worked her way up to grand champion with both her dogs but she didn’t stop there. She went on to earn an expert trick title with her cat, and became the first person in the world to earn a trick title with a hedgehog!

Gradually making the crossover from balanced to force free training after rescuing a pitbull named Daisy, it’s become Holly’s mission to show others the amazing things that can be accomplished through R+/FF training.

Shalina works as a dog trainer in Toronto, Canada. After completing the intensive

internship program at When Hounds Fly, she then earned her CPDT-KA certification.

Although her love of dogs began in childhood, her passion for science and psychology was born in university. After graduating with her degree in Psychology, she began to dive into animal psychology and learning theory. Keeping up with the latest "dog science" is what drives her to improve to become as effective and humane as possible.

After spending some time on dog training social media, it became apparent to her how critical it was to begin tackling some of the misinformation on Instagram and TikTok. She loves creating educational content on social media to help pet parents navigate the dog training world. Online advocacy work will continue to be a huge priority for her.

Five Freedoms of Animal Welfare:

These Five Freedoms are globally recognized as the gold standard in animal welfare, encompassing both the mental and physical well-being of animals; they include:

1. freedom from hunger and thirst

2. freedom from discomfort

3. freedom from pain, injury, and disease

4. freedom to express normal and natural behavior (e.g. accommodating for a chicken’s instinct to roost)

5. freedom from fear and distress.
