Hunde begleiten mich seit meiner Kindheit – die meisten aus dem Tierschutz. Mit der Zeit wurde mir klar: Hundehaltung ist nicht nur Gefühl, sondern Verantwortung und Fachwissen. Der Wendepunkt kam mit meinem ersten Welpen. Plötzlich reichte Erfahrung allein nicht mehr. Ich begann mich intensiv mit Verhaltensbiologie, Trainingsethik und moderner Hundeerziehung auseinanderzusetzen. Nach meiner Erfahrung entsteht echte Bindung dort, wo Verständnis Wissen ersetzt – nicht umgekehrt. Aus dieser Entwicklung entstand rundum.dog – ein Wissens- und Serviceportal für Hundehalter:innen in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz. Meine Überzeugung: Tierschutz beginnt mit Wissen. Wer seinen Hund versteht, trifft bessere Entscheidungen – für ein Zusammenleben, das beiden guttut.
