Understand first
Behavior becomes easier to change when you understand what your dog is responding to and what the behavior is achieving.
About Mika Dog Training
Practical, positive dog training for real life.
Mika Dog Training was created to make clear, useful dog training available wherever you live, with lessons you can follow at your own pace and practice in the situations that matter to you.
Hi, I’m Tom Rosens.
I’m a dog trainer and the owner of Hondleiding in the Netherlands. I have been working with dog owners since 2013, helping them understand behavior, build useful skills and create more cooperation in everyday life.
Mika Dog Training brings that practical approach online. The goal is not to chase perfect obedience. It is to help you make progress that you can actually use at home, on walks and in the situations you share with your dog every day.
I believe training works best when it is clear for the person, fair for the dog and realistic enough to keep using after the lesson ends.
How Mika approaches training.
The courses are built around practical choices you can understand, practice and use in everyday life.
Teach what you want
Training focuses on useful alternative behavior, clear reinforcement and setups that give your dog a realistic chance to succeed.
Practice in real life
The end goal is not a perfect exercise indoors. It is behavior that makes walks, home life, play and communication easier.
Why online training?
Online learning gives you time to pause, repeat and practice with your own dog in your own environment. It can be especially useful when you want structure without having to absorb everything during one lesson.
Some situations still need personal support. If there is a serious bite risk, severe aggression or a safety concern, a qualified professional who can assess the situation directly is the better starting point.
One growing library, different starting points.
Mika Dog Training is designed as a broad English-language training library, from puppies and everyday skills to reactivity, confidence, enrichment, games and resources for dog trainers.
