Team | Blackwater Dog Training

Samuele Carraro

Founder and Owner

J’ai toujours été passionné par les chiens et leur éducation.

Malheureusement, ma mère a été grièvement mordue par un chien lorsqu’elle était jeune, ce qui a conduit à l’interdiction des chiens à la maison.

En partie pour le plaisir, et en partie pour l’aider à surmonter ses peurs, elle m’a finalement donné son accord en 2014 pour adopter mon premier chien, Dana.

Personne à la maison ne savait comment s’occuper d’un chiot, c’est pourquoi j’ai commencé à fréquenter un centre canin recommandé par un ami.

Comme beaucoup d’entre vous, mon tout premier cours a été une classe pour chiots !

Et à partir de là, la passion s’est enflammée !!!

Avec le désir de mieux comprendre comment mon chiot pensait, j’ai commencé à pratiquer des sports canins et à suivre des formations, des séminaires et des stages. Finalement, en 2015, je suis devenu éducateur canin certifié ENCI (Club Canin National Italien) et éducateur certifié CSEN (deuxième plus grande fédération canine en Italie).

Ce parcours m’a mené là où je suis aujourd’hui.

Après plusieurs années de formation et d’expérience dans différents centres canins, j’ai ressenti le besoin de créer quelque chose qui me ressemble entièrement.

C’est ainsi qu’en 2021 est né Blackwater Dog Training, avec l’ambition de devenir un centre d’excellence dans le monde des chiens de compagnie et de sport.

Aujourd’hui, je participe activement avec mes chiens à différentes disciplines sportives, même si ma grande passion reste l’IGP.

C’est pourquoi je suis devenu Homme Assistant IGP de niveau B et Traceur de Piste IGP de niveau A en Irlande, sous GSA Ireland. En 2024, j’ai également été chef d’équipe du groupe ayant participé au Championnat du Monde WUSV de Bergers Allemands à Meppen, en Allemagne.
