I have dream come true family, daytime job and two strong hobbies. This webpage is about these hobbies – dog training and photography.
Dogs and dog training is my hobby what has taken really a big part of my everyday life. In some weeks it takes nearly all my time. I am a trainer, competitor and judge.
I have been training dogs in tracking, obedience and bitework already from the early 90-ties. In tracking I have developed my own system and in bases of this, nice number of dogs have succeeded very nice. Also during the seminars I have done for last 15 years I have helped a lot of dog handlers of different level. About all this you can read more in Seminars part.

I spend a lot of my time also in the nature. I love to observe wild animals and eagles. I love to see small details in their action and catch that to the photos. I like to catch the moments and emotions. I have won several photo contest with my photos. Photography is the part, what charging my batteries to work and dog training. In my webpage there is a lot of photos I have been taking.

My backround of training dogs can be found from my club Sportkoer webpage  http://www.sportkoer.ee/trainers/aivo/ where you can see dogs I have trained and how they have succeeded.
Earlier I had dobermans, which I trained and competed. Now I have malinois. I have been compeating by myself 9 times in World Championsjips (IDC, FMBB and FCI).
A lot of my trainees have succeeded well in Estonian championship level, but also in World Championships of IGP and IGP-FH.
In our club webpage http://www.sportkoer.ee/eng/ you can also see more pictures, videos and results  of dogs sporting with me and trained by me.
Our club has also YouTube channel.

Everyday work of mine is connected with professional kitchens (hotels, restaurants etc) and because of this I also enjoy making food.

We have very “dogsport” family as my wife Mari is also IGP judge and also competing in dogsport.
