Nice to meet you

Hi, my name is Else and I am an animal welfare scientist specializing in behaviour, physiology, anxiety and stress.

I’ve spent more than 15 years in the lab researching animals, and I believe that being a scientist is the most thrilling profession in the world.

But I’m aware that it can take years, if not decades, for research to reach the people who need it most (that’s you:)).

On top of that, there is a lot of outdated and misleading information out there. For example, some would have you believe that showing a dog leadership and having the right energy will solve all behavioural problems.

If only it were that simple…

My mission as a scientist is to help dogs feel good and be happy. To achieve that, I publish my research in peer-reviewed scientific journals, see here. However, I also create evidence-based articles for this website in order to educate dog owners and experts who deal with behavioural issues on a daily basis. So you don’t need to wait 10 years for the right information and help.

If you’re struggling with your dog’s behaviour, and feel you need more help, I also dedicate a small portion of my time to help dogs overcome their fears and anxiety.

What other people say

“I just listened to your seminar and first of all just want to say how very interesting it was and that I am always so impressed when you present because you do it in such a professional way yet manage to make the listener feel a real personal connection to you as an individual (and not just researcher) and your experiences. It's thoroughly enjoyable and you are one of my role models in this area for sure! "
Svea JörgenssenOwner of a dog with separation anxiety
“I really appreciated the effort to bring evidence based knowledge to a field that is so unregulated and suffers from it. Thank you! I hope there is more information that can be given to the different dog owners and clubs in the area."
Madeleine.SOwner of a dog with separation anxiety

Ulrika k.Owner of a dog with separation anxiety

Linnea B.Owner of a dog with separation anxiety
