How to recognise your dog's signals
Imagine your dog being able to tell you exactly how it feels... If you learn to see and understand its signals, you can prevent stress and keep your dog relaxed, happy and faithful.
With the Force Free Training, you will find out how easy it is to anticipate your dog's behaviour and emotions. Discover how easily you learn to recognise when your dog feels uncomfortable, so that you can immediately adjust the training.
This way, your mutual trust and partnership will grow, stress will disappear, your dog will learn faster, and it will be happier.

World-class dog training, right here in the Netherlands!
Patricia has gained more in-depth knowledge in an exclusive training programme at Karen Pryor Academy in the United States. It is the place to be for dog trainers from all over the world to specialise in positive training methods.
During this intensive training programme, Patricia specialised in Operant Conditioning – a science-based way to train dogs in a friendly and effective manner. She knows exactly how to use Positive Reinforcement (rewarding good behaviour) in a smart way, so that dogs learn without force or fear.
With this expertise, Patricia finds herself among a select group of trainers in Europe who have obtained this prestigious certification.
Patricia Walker-Koopman
I am Patricia Walker-Koopman. In 2022, I opened my own Kynagon Dog Trainers Academy in Amstelveen. At Kynagon, we use a science-based method founded on partnership and trust. Dogs learn best in a positive environment, without punishment or pain, and that is exactly the key to our approach.
Every training is based on my three values: personal, passionate and professional. Together, we will find out how you can communicate with your dog in a pleasant and effective way, so that you can build a strong bond together.
At home, my husband and I share our lives with our three children and five Border Collies, who not only enrich our family, but also play an important role in the Dog Trainers Academy.
