The Dog as a Mirror for your Presence and Self-Leadership
Learning from dogs
Dogs don’t respond to what we say, but to what we radiate. Yuki mirrors your presence and gives you immediate, honest feedback without detours.
Modern leadership starts with self-leadership. If you don’t know yourself, you can’t lead others effectively. mindpet® invites you to understand your patterns of thinking and behaviour and to change them deliberately.
Whether you are a people leader, entrepreneur or individual contributor: what matters for your success is not only what you do, but how you show up – and how impactful you are.
"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."
(John Quincy Adams)
I recently had a team session with Alena and sweet Yuki, with the added benefit of working with another wonderful dog called Beau. I wholeheartedly recommend this unique training with mindpet and would give it a 5-star plus rating if possible. I learnt many things about myself, and I know the rest of my team enjoyed the session too.
I was lucky to experience a team session with Alena and Yuki. It was a great opportunity for self-reflection and gathering feedback from teammates. We reflected on our leadership and connected the exercises with theoretical frameworks. The whole team had great fun and ignited unforeseen passions. Thanks again to Alena & Yuki – you rock! I also joined one of the mindpet webinars (before attending the team session) which was interesting, entertaining and insightful as well. I can only recommend mindpet!
I was part of a team participating in a session with Alena and Yuki, and it was a great afternoon. It took several of us out of our comfort zone, and gave us a practical but safe environment in which we were able to practice and reflect upon our approach to leadership and relationship management. It was an entirely fresh approach to leadership development, which neatly mixed exercises with Yuki (what a splendid dog!) with discussions about how those experiences related to the theoretical model that our company uses. Valuable, stimulating — and great fun!
I got the chance to get a free coaching session with Alena and her dog Yuki and I loved it! I immediately signed up for a block of sessions and continue to date to gain insights not only into leadership and communication, but also on how I can develop my self personally and professionally. I never thought when I signed up for the first session that I would have so many “aha” moments. I can’t recommend enough Alena and Yuki and hope you get to experience the same insightful and fun coaching sessions!

Dogs teach us about leadership: They react immediately to our body language, mindset and communication, and bring to light what often remains hidden within teams.
In our book Modell Rettungshund we demonstrate how these principles can be applied to leadership, collaboration, and communication – supplemented by real-life case studies from my work with mindpet®.
The book combines practical experience with insights from psychology and behavioral economics and is aimed at leaders, teams and individuals who want to develop their potential in a targeted manner.
