Shalev grew up with dog sports. Her grandparents and her mother were already actively involved in training and breeding German Shepherds, laying the foundation for her passion for working dogs. Since 2018, she has been competing with her own dogs in IGP and is deeply involved in training, education, and dog behavior. German Shepherds have been her companions for many years and remain her primary focus to this day.

In addition to dog sports, Shalev gained extensive practical experience working with dogs exhibiting behavioral issues. Among other things, she took in a livestock guardian dog with pronounced socially motivated aggression, and later a Rottweiler that had already been scheduled for euthanasia due to its behavior. Through consistent training and intensive work, she succeeded in making both dogs safe and suitable for everyday life again. 

These experiences continue to shape her interactions with dogs to this day.
