Who am I and how did I end up like this?
My name is really Chifa, and I changed it when I immigrated to Israel seven years ago. My animals moved to Netanya with me: my dog Mistik and my cat Ji-Ji. And then I took in a cat from the street - now her name is Castiel
Soon after we moved in, Mistik's fear of the street worsened, and she was terrified of ever leaving the apartment. Walking became completely impossible, and I wanted to help, both for her and myself. I started reading books on canine studies, watched webinars, took courses. As a result I got a very cool theoretical knowledge of dogs
Then I took care of my parents' pets and went for walks with shelter dogs. It gave me practical experience with different dogs. Then at spring 2025 I finished a course for dog trainers and started practice as a behavioral consultant, not only a dog walker
Mi is walking much better now. She's afraid of garbage trucks and doesn't trust minivans, but it's just amazing compared to before. I still can't believe this is our reality!
