Who we are

Science, practice and four years in Spain.

Shop4Dogs works hand in hand with Doc4Dogs, our dog training centre and behavioural practice on Costa del Sol. For four years in Spain we have worked with dogs and their owners, combining science, practice and cooperation with veterinarians.

Dr Ewa

Ethology and zoopsychology · Head of Doc4Dogs

PhD in ethology and zoopsychology, geneticist, with a background in animal science, psychology and dog training. For 27 years she has worked as a trainer and specialist in behavioural disorders, and she still lectures in zoopsychology at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW), teaching the next generations of specialists. She runs Doc4Dogs, a training centre and behavioural practice, and works with veterinarians on a daily basis. In Poland she was a television and radio expert, including TVP, Polsat and TVN. She is also a long-time breeder of Belgian Malinois and dachshunds, so she knows a dog's development from puppyhood and the differences between breeds from a breeder's perspective.

Kasia

Dog trainer · Zoopsychology (SGGW)

Dog trainer with 10 years of experience and a graduate of postgraduate studies in zoopsychology at SGGW. Her passion for training and canine psychology translates into concrete results with owners and their dogs. She has also completed a range of professional courses with renowned trainers from around the world. As a Cane Corso breeder she knows the dog from the first weeks of life and understands how early development shapes the behaviour of the adult animal. She is also a photographer, which gives Doc4Dogs a professional visual identity and materials that our partners can use in their own clinics.

Real experience

There are no hopeless cases. Some simply need a different perspective.

We work directly with the dog–handler team. When helpful, we involve trained therapy dogs to support socialisation, fear and reactivity work.

Families who already live with more calm.

Carola & Jan's pack with their trainer by the finca pool

We have known Ewa and Katie for about three years now, and they have truly been a lifesaver for us and our pack of dogs! Before, the dogs just lived in our finca without taking big notice of them… until we had a young water dog who is very sensitive and explosive and started to cause quite a lot of trouble.

Meanwhile, we have learned so much from them about how dogs feel, communicate and react, and also how much they reflect our own emotions and state of mind. Along the way, we have ended up learning a great deal about ourselves, too. The Doc4Dogs team is incredibly dedicated, caring and clear in their approach. Their goal is not only to help the dogs, but also to give their owners the understanding and practical tools they need to confidently continue on their own. From activities and obedience training to socialisation with other dogs and scent work, all of our dogs have become truffle-hunting experts by now! They even supported us through the challenging experience of taking in a young, lost Malinois, training with her and preparing her for a new home.

Their food recommendations are also excellent. Whatever the issue, they help to pick the suitable diet for each individual dog, they even deliver the food directly to your home. They have also helped us twice with the birth of our puppies! Just so amazing, thank you!!

We are incredibly grateful to Ewa, Katie and the entire Doc4Dogs team for everything they have done for us and our dogs over the years. We couldn't recommend them highly enough!

Cane corso Bo w słonecznym lesie / Bo the Cane Corso in a sunny forest

Kasia & Ewa have been amazing in helping us with our young Cane Corso. Due to the stress of moving and renovating our house, our dog had become quite tense. During walks, she would react to other dogs — not aggressively, but a little too enthusiastically.

We were given some fantastic tools and tips to help her, and even their own dogs joined us to help Bo learn to respond to other dogs in a more relaxed way. She is doing really well now!

Bo absolutely loves the dog walks. She is still a lively girl, but she behaves so well, thanks in large part to the help of these wonderful ladies. Their enthusiasm, their love for Bo and the fun we have together make the training feel relaxed and enjoyable. We genuinely look forward to it as a lovely outing together.

We are so grateful for their guidance and support!

Freddie, a cockapoo, with his owner Tanya on the Costa del Sol

This is Freddie. 4 months ago when we arrived in Spain we literally couldn't bring him anywhere where there were a lot of people or dogs. He would react so badly, barking and basically going crazy. A few sessions with these dog whisperers and he is a totally transformed dog. We bring him absolutely everywhere now and he is so well behaved. The best money we have spent! Thank you both for all the help.

Adriana with Sam, an Australian Kelpie, at home and in the mountains

Ewa and Kasia have been a huge help to me in a number of one-to-one sessions and social walks, helping me to build a bond with and learn how to handle my young, headstrong, insecure, high-energy herding dog. Professional, knowledgeable and, above all, very positively motivating.
