When it came to training, I decided to do it again among people with normal vision.\nIt wasn&#8217;t always easy, but I managed to get a good degree.\nBut bullying was a big issue, especially at vocational school.\nI&#8217;ve been completely crazy about dogs since I was a toddler, so after completing my training and doing a few internships and seminars with dog trainers on the side, I went on to study to become a dog training consultant and then became self-employed.       \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0aa0cb elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f0aa0cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_mobile_extra&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After several moves across the country and as far as the Netherlands, I have now been living with my husband, my son and our 2 large dogs for almost 6 years, almost back in my home country.
