My philosophy

Qi-Dog – Dog Training with Heart, Clarity and Energy

In my dog training approach, the focus lies on building a calm, trusting and balanced human-dog relationship.
Through clear communication, structured training routines, and readable body language, we create a stable bond together – for more harmony in everyday life and a reliable companion in every situation.

The name Qi-Dog stands for energy (Qi), which our dogs are naturally able to perceive.
Authenticity and inner attitude play a key role – because dogs sense what’s going on inside us.

Relationship-Based Dog Training Without Food Rewards

In socialization and training, I intentionally avoid using food as the main reward. Instead, I work on the relationship level with positive reinforcement, praise, verbal markers, and clear body language.
Unwanted behavior is interrupted with fair and consistent signals – always respectful and without harshness.

Holistic Dog Training with Responsibility

To me, training means taking responsibility – for the dog and for respectful coexistence.
My goal is to help you confidently, clearly, and empathetically guide your dog through life – without pressure, but with leadership and inner stability.

About Us

Beat Keller with Labrador male Milou Chicago

I grew up with dogs on my parents' farm. From an early age, I was fascinated by the collaboration and relationships with dogs. When my own dog Milou came into my life in 2020, this enthusiasm for dogs was solidified.

I enjoy working with people and dogs - that's why I completed my dog trainer training at LakeDog Academy in 2022/2023.
In 2023/2024 I gained 12 months of practical experience as an employee of a dog training school.
