My name is Katharina Volle-van der Bent. As a canine behaviour therapist and individual dog trainer, I support dogs and their people when behaviour becomes difficult or when they simply don’t know how to move forward. With Neemo, I want to create a place for dogs and humans who need more than a standard programme — a space where emotions, individuality, and tailored support truly matter. No rigid training plans, but guidance that focuses on what is really going on. My work is based on scientific knowledge and solid professional education — not on assumptions or personal opinions.
To stay up to date, I regularly continue my education and keep learning about new insights in behaviour, learning, and animal welfare. As a member of the NVGH and the Dierenwelzijn Keurmerk, I work according to professional and ethical standards.
At Neemo, you and your dog work one-to-one in a calm and supportive environment. We take the time to truly understand where behaviour comes from — without judgement and without pressure.
We support dogs and their people who are looking for clarity, who want to look beneath the surface, and who prefer an approach that goes beyond quick fixes or rigid training programmes.
Maybe this sounds familiar. You’re looking for guidance that takes behaviour seriously, keeps welfare and safety at the forefront, and helps you move forward together, step by step.
If so, Neemo is the right place for you.
That’s why we work exclusively with training methods that are completely free from pain, fear, or intimidation. Our approach is grounded in scientific evidence — and in common sense. This allows us to create a safe learning environment where you and your dog can grow, learn, and enjoy working together. As Katharina is a member of the NVGH (Dutch Association of Canine Behaviour Therapists), behavioural consultations may be reimbursed by your pet insurance in many cases.
Would you like to start with a free introductory phone call (approx. 15 minutes)? You can get in touch via the contact form, send an email to info@neemo.nl, or call/message +31 6 22436503.
During this conversation, we briefly discuss your situation and I explain my way of working. This allows us to explore together what would be most appropriate for you and your dog.
The call is without obligation and helps determine whether my guidance is the right fit for your situation.
