Episode 24 - A Conversation with Ariadna

Everything Dog Training! - A podcast by John McGuigan

In this episode I talk to Ariadna Cosma, Turbo Dog Mobile Gym Founder (the first mobile dog gym in Romania) and Dog Trainer & Behaviour Consultant  - based in Cluj, Transylvania. Ariadna started her dog training path when she adopted Manolo from a local pound. He is a Pitbull- Amstaff mix, who came with a "colourful background" and baggage. She reports "he kind of made me do this". Ariadna is always studying and researching ways on how to be a better dog trainer. Most dogs that she see do not really have behaviour "problems", they have needs that are not fulfilled, or pain is the root cause.So, through extensive research and experience with her dog and others, Ariadna discovered the amazing benefits of dog treadmills (slat mills), and decided to open a doggy gym, opting for a mobile gym for now, so that it is accessible for people. And that is how she got Turbo Dog Mobile Gym. Her goal is to promote this combo of safe and proper exercise, combined with a kind approach. Ariadna ses it as a new way of educating people about the future of canine medicine, training and wellbeing.
