๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ข๐๐ก๐ฬ is a long-time member of the Rhodesian Ridgeback working community and a passionate advocate for building strong, respectful partnerships between dogs and their handlers in practical work. She welcomed her first Rhodesian Ridgeback into her life in 2006, a moment that marked the beginning of her deep involvement in working activities with the breed.
Since 2006, Ivana has actively worked with Ridgebacks across multiple disciplines, including coursing, nosework, and canine rescue, gaining extensive hands-on experience with the breedโs instincts, motivation, and unique working mindset. Her approach is grounded in understanding the Ridgeback as an independent yet highly capable working partner.
Ivana is also an approved nosework competition judge, combining practical field experience with a clear, fair, and consistent evaluation framework. At the ๐๐ก๐จ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ง ๐๐ข๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ค ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐, she will share her insights on how to build a better relationship with a Ridgeback in a working environment, focusing on communication, trust, and cooperation beyond pure performance.
