About Evelien
I’m Evelien Tewes, an agility trainer and coach from the Netherlands with a background in Applied Psychology specializing in canine assisted therapy. I combine scientific understanding of how dogs learn with practical agility expertise to help you take your agility performance to the next level.
Have you ever seen a handler and their dog go around a course in perfect harmony? The handler cues and the dog performs their task with vigour, obstacle after obstacle after obstacle. It can look like poetry in motion.
It is my intention to create this crystal clear understanding in every dog I train. Through layered exercises, we build clarity, confidence, and through these: joy and drive. Whether you’re starting with a puppy or polishing skills with an experienced dog, I’ll help you achieve areté — excellence, the full realisation of you and your dog’s potential.
What People Say
Here are some stories from teams I’ve had the pleasure to guide on their agility journey.
Exactly the training I was looking for. A positive and honest approach for the dog, where every lesson and exercise is adapted to the dog’s level. Evelien really takes time for you, and every lesson is incredibly educational and super fun!

I primarily train skills with Evelien. Thanks to her pleasant, positive teaching style, Kaj’s self-confidence has grown significantly, and we’ve also grown as a team. Her clear instructions and well-structured lessons have clearly paid off. I’m super pleased!.

Evelien recognises what my dog and I need in order to grow. We work on a solid, steady foundation and gradually build from there. I’m very happy with the positive and motivating training sessions.

Tailored training! I’ve been training with Evelien for a year and a half now, with both my young dog and my senior. For my youngster, she creates fun, perfectly tailored exercises that help us build the bigger picture step by step. With my senior dog, we work on more complex course sections, and Evelien guides us through them with a thoughtful, steady approach. Her lessons are always tailored to what each dog needs, with some homework that keeps us moving forward.
