Hello,
DOGILI’s mission is to promote clear communication between owners and their dogs, using simple,
effective, and natural training methods that appeal to the canine psyche.
DOGILI has over 30 years of experience in its unique and effective dog training and methods. Dog owners seeking an effective way to address their dogs’ behavioral problems, call us for help and we deliver that hope – right to their home. As a professional dog trainer, I face each day with new and exciting challenges. I work with a variety of clients and network with vets and other pet professionals. I achieve something magnificent every time I visit a home.
I am a dog loving entrepreneur and technology savvy. I’m passionate about the welfare of dogs!
I started training dogs in 1992 when I joined the K9 supreme unit of the Israeli Defense Forces.
As Commanding Officer of the K9 Dog Training School, I oversaw the training of soldiers serving as dog trainers,
supervised trainers ('trainer-training), wrote and developed training curricula and materials and much more.
The dogs I trained worked side by side with combat soldiers, police units and anti-explosive specialists and saved many lives.
As it happens, recently the supreme K9 unit I was in charge of during my 5 years of service in the Israeli army received a lot of
press coverage. This is especially exciting for me because I led an internal campaign to include and fully integrate women as dog trainers,
and ran the first such training course. Take a look at the K9 Dog Training School slideshow below.
In Israel I ran a private consultancy offering dog training services for rude and reactive dog behaviour for five years.
Consultations addressed many behavioural issues of dogs, as well as basic manners and obedience training.
During this time, I even met the love of my life 25 years ago, while we walked our dogs in the park!
I offered a wide variety of dog training programs to shape good dog behaviour and am a specialist in working with unruly and
difficult dogs, as well as giving workshops and lectures. Besides training dogs for years, I also ran a B&B for dogs in Jerusalem,
until I moved to the UK. I had several ‘regular’ guests with fascinating and unique stories :-))
Your best friend in safe hands!
At DOGILI, your dog’s health and safety is our priority.
We are fully insured for public liability and CRB police certified and are trained in canine first aid.
We only accept dogs that are fully vaccinated and protected against worms, fleas and ticks.
We reserve the right to refuse any dog that may be a danger to other dogs or their walkers.
Cheers,
Gil
