Who am I?

Welcome to LUPO, which means wolf in Italian. I would like to introduce myself.

I am Monique Boss.
I have been working with dogs since 1985, since 1992 this has become my professionaljob. My whole life has revolved around dogs. From an early age I walked dogs in the neighborhood, then at the age of 15 I started working at a shelter/boarding house. I was there every day off, I did this with great passion for 14 years. The first 7 years as a volunteer and from the age of 22 as a permanent employee. As assistant manager, I was ultimately responsible for the daily as well as the medical care of the dogs and cats present.

After high school, I started following various targeted courses. For example, I am a certified paraveterinarian, shelter/boarding house owner, canine instructor and P.D.T.E. certified behavioral expert, a European training by Turid Rugaas. In addition, I have completed various courses with good results, such as: first aid for animals, problem behavior in dogs and nutrition. In 2018, I added a holistic training to this.

After working at an animal shelter/boarding house for 15 years, I wanted to broaden my horizons and started working as a paraveterinarian in a (specialist) animal clinic in Utrecht. I have done this with pleasure for 11 years, in addition to which I have taught at a dog school in IJsselstein for 8 years.

In May 2008 I started LUPO in Everdingen. Because in my opinion it was necessary to educate dogs in a more dog-friendly way and no longer according to the outdated dominance method that has been outdated for years. LUPO is affiliated with the professional association for dog professionals P.D.T.E. and KaHot.

At the dog school I would like to guide you in raising your dog. The well-being of the dog is the first priority. A dog is able to show us how he feels like no other and deserves our respect. It is my task to teach you to gain insight into the behavior of your dog.

If your dog has any problem behavior, I can assist you with behavioral guidance at your home. See; Services > behavioral guidance.

My name is Jadey Blom and together with my boyfriend, two cats and a dog, I live in Leerdam.

After high school I studied technical physics, I currently work as a sales engineer.

In 2016 (when I still lived at home) we got our first dog; a Lapinporokoira female named Kerttu.

I have followed a number of obedience training courses with her and have been taking detection lessons with her for a few years now.

Through Kerttu I got to know the world of dogs. She has taught me so much about dog language,

Our bond is unique and I am eternally grateful to her for that.

In 2022 my boyfriend and I got our own Lapinporokoira female; named Lumi.

She also teaches me a lot about dog language and learning principles every day. In addition, I would like to assist other dog owners in raising their dogs. That is why I did the training to become a canine instructor

at O & O. Since January 2023, I have also been an official canine and detection instructor.

Here at Dog Center LUPO I can put this into practice. I am really looking forward to it!
