Welcome to Kika's world!
My name is Francesca Dalesio
Dear visitors,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to my dog training website. I am Francesca, and I have dedicated my life to understanding and communicating with dogs.
Since my early childhood years, I have been surrounded by dogs. My first dog, Bella, a Colley, was my faithful companion who stood by my side from the very beginning. My love for these creatures was instilled in me by my parents, who taught me to respect and appreciate nature and all its creatures.
As I grew up on a beautiful farm in Syros, Greece, with various kinds of animals, I learned the importance of patience, love, respect, and persistence in developing a strong bond with dogs. With time, my experience with dogs led others to recognize the special connection we had, and they began to approach me for help in various situations.
At the age of 19, I realized my calling as a dog trainer and obtained my dog trainer diploma after 6 months of practical training, working with both small and large dog breeds. After completing my training, I worked as a freelancer all over Greece and participated in conformation events.
Now, after 11 years of experience as a dog trainer, I run a successful dog training, walking, and daycare company based in Zurich. My goal is to help people understand their dogs and develop a harmonious and happy relationship with them.
My team includes Lily, a 13-year-old pinscher, who has taught me much about how to teach dogs good behavior in the house. Additionally, Kaly, an 8-year-old Malinois, serves as a mentor to other dogs in our care. I take great pride in being a dog-mother to my furry companions.
At KIKA, we offer training services in English, Italian, and Greek, and I am conversant in German. I am the sole operator of all services offered by KIKA.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you develop a positive and fulfilling relationship with your beloved dogs.
With love and respect,
Francesca Dalesio
