03 Apr 2025
In this episode of the Making Ripples podcast, we're delighted to welcome Raoudha Mairos, a passionate dog trainer and behavior consultant, as she shares her inspiring journey from fearing dogs to dedicating her life to understanding and improving animal welfare. As the founder of Sunny Paws, Raoudha offers one-on-one coaching to help dogs and their guardians build confidence, trust, and a stress-free bond. She also co-founded Global Animal Experts, a platform that connects professionals in the French-speaking community with expert insights through courses and webinars. Raoudha's story is one of transformation—moving from fear to fascination as she navigated life with her first dog, Sunny, and eventually shifted careers from teaching to professional dog training. She shares how different dogs, including her own, have shaped her approach, emphasising the importance of understanding individual animals rather than forcing them into rigid expectations. In this episode, we dive into: ✅ The power of observation and empathy in animal training ✅ How Raoudha's work helps bridge the communication gap between dogs and their humans ✅ The importance of giving animals choices in training and daily life ✅ The lessons she's learned from working with multiple species, including a surprising training experience with a giraffe! Whether you're an animal trainer, pet guardian, or behavior enthusiast, Raoudha's insights will inspire you to rethink the way we understand and connect with the animals in our lives.
