ABOUT PYTKA PERFORMANCE K9
Aldona J Pytka is a professional trainer with an extensive background in veterinary medicine.

With over seven years of experience as a veterinary technician, Ali has worked across multiple disciplines, including general practice, emergency and critical care, orthopedics, and internal medicine. This diverse expertise equips her with a profound understanding of the scientific and biological aspects of animal care, which she seamlessly integrates into her training methodologies.
While living in Austria for several years, Ali discovered her love for the sport of Schutzhund and developed a particular admiration for the Dutch Shepherd breed. This experience significantly influenced her approach to training, bringing a new dimension of expertise and enthusiasm to her practice.
