The lecturers
Katinka Stinchcombe
Katinka originally comes from an equestrian background. She worked intensively in this field for over 16 years, where she discovered her passion and ability to mediate between people and animals and bring them closer together. She also studied veterinary medicine for 4 years before starting her CANIS studies in 2008. The foundations were laid in her childhood, as she grew up as the daughter of a vet and a hunter.
Since 2010, Katinka has been accompanying students in CANIS studies, as well as in further education and training. She runs her own dog school WeCanDog in the Taunus region. Her focus is on counseling, consolidating relationship structures, frustration tolerance, orientation and working with fearful and hunting dogs.
In recent years, she has also worked intensively with specialized dogs and their humans, who are expected to deliver reliable top performance in regular missions.
„It turns out that many specialized dogs are used twice today. On the one hand in their field of work, such as hunting, in the mountains or in similar demanding areas, and on the other as a family member and life companion. This provides a great opportunity to use dogs in everyday situations so that they can be used more calmly and therefore even more efficiently. Because it is possible to combine both areas well in order to become a successful and reliable team in action without losing the necessary energy in unnecessary places.“
