Team | Blackwater Dog Training

Samuele Carraro

Founder and Owner

Ich habe mich schon immer für Hunde und deren Ausbildung begeistert.

Leider wurde meine Mutter in ihrer Jugend schwer von einem Hund gebissen, weshalb Hunde bei uns zu Hause immer verboten waren.

Zum Teil aus Spaß, aber auch, um ihr zu helfen, ihre Ängste zu überwinden, erlaubte sie mir 2014, meinen ersten Hund, Dana, zu bekommen.

Niemand in der Familie wusste, wie man sich um einen Welpen kümmert – deshalb begann ich, ein Hundezentrum zu besuchen, das mir ein Freund empfohlen hatte.

Wie bei vielen von euch war mein erster Kurs eine Welpengruppe!

Und ab da hat es gefunkt!!!

Mit dem Wunsch, immer besser zu verstehen, wie mein Welpe denkt, begann ich mit Hundesportarten und besuchte Kurse, Seminare und Praktika. Schließlich wurde ich 2015 zertifizierter Hundetrainer nach ENCI (Italienischer Zuchtverband) und anerkannter Hundeerzieher nach CSEN (zweitgrößter kynologischer Verband Italiens).

Dieser Weg hat mich dorthin geführt, wo ich heute bin.

Nach mehreren Jahren Ausbildung und der Möglichkeit, in verschiedenen Hundezentren zu arbeiten, verspürte ich den Wunsch, etwas ganz Eigenes zu schaffen.

So entstand 2021 Blackwater Dog Training – mit dem Ziel, ein Zentrum für Exzellenz im Bereich Familienhunde und Hundesport zu bleiben.

Heute nehme ich mit meinen Hunden aktiv an verschiedenen Hundesportarten teil, obwohl meine große Leidenschaft der IGP ist.

Deshalb wurde ich offiziell als IGP-Helfer der Stufe B und IGP-Fährtenleger der Stufe A in Irland zertifiziert (unter GSA Ireland) und war 2024 auch Teamleiter der Gruppe, die an der WUSV-Weltmeisterschaft für Deutsche Schäferhunde in Meppen (Deutschland) teilgenommen hat.
