HI, I'M SKY!
Dogs, unexpectedly, came into my life in 2012 when I joined a local pet rescue centre as a volunteer and I've never looked back since. In 2017 I moved to Glasgow - a city that grew me as a dog trainer and taught me the hardest yet most valuable lessons so far.
Instead of leaving Scotland after my studies, I took the leap of faith and opened a dog training studio in the heart of Glasgow because by then a bunch of people believed in me and my teaching. Sky Walkers Pack was born.
What started as a young Sky's dream, that was supposed to stay a dream, has turned into a space filled with dogs, people, laughter and a community that grew together.
In a way, dogs brought us together, but people made it home.
SWP is my way of sharing what I’ve learnt, what I’m still learning and what I believe makes life with dogs a little better. A place to understand dogs more deeply, learn practical things you can actually use in your daily life, meet others and, perhaps, sharing what you learn with the rest.
Over the years, I’ve worked with puppies, group classes and 1:1 clients, continuing to learn from every dog and every person who crossed my path. I’ve studied dog training and behaviour, completed my Institute of Modern Dog Trainers Level 3 diploma, later on passed a Lithuanian Kennel Club exam, gained a Julie Naismith's SA Pro qualification and started specialising in dog separation anxiety bringing modern approach to this challenge into my home country Lithuania.
I’ve seen the frustration, the joy, the overwhelm and the ridiculous moments that happen as you get a dog. I know that training doesn't happen in a perfect world. It happens between work, friendships, busy mornings, holidays, muddy walks and everything else life throws at us.
That’s probably why I’ve never wanted SWP to be just about having a dog that knows cues.
I wanted it to be about geeking out on dogs' inner worlds, allowing them to be dogs and finding a way to have a good life for both ends of the lead side by side.
