My name is
Rafał Napiórkowski;

I began my first canine training in 1996, when, as a young boy, I participated in dog training organized by the Polish National Canine Association (ZKWP).
At that time I was training my first dog,
grey mongrel on the picture below, taken in from the street; care of which enabled me to express my compassion, empathy, and understanding towards abandoned and traumatized animals.
We developed a deep bond that lasted many years.
Since that time dogs have accompanied me throughout my life and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My contact from an early age with many breeds of dogs, their breeders, as well as qualified trainers has enabled me to develop the knowledge, and a kind of instinct that enables me to work skillfully with dogs.

Under the watchful eye of my mentors, I successfully raised Bernese Mountain Dog female, Russian Terrier female, as well as my ultimate challenge – American Akita male, which as a young adult, around 2010, I trained with the great support of one of Poland’s most prominent behaviorist dog trainers, Aneta Awtoniuk.

My life has had many twists and turns, after coming out of which I posessed knowledge and experience in the field of behaviorism and psychology which I successfully manage to use both in helping animals and people.

In my professional activity I use positive conditioning, basing my theoretical knowledge on scientific achievements of B.F. Skinner, author of the most respected scientific works opining on the behaviorist theory.
