Venla, Aava & Kaiku / @aavakokaikuu
Hello you! 🧡 I’m Venla, 24-year-old adventurer from Vaasa, Finland and i live with my partner Jesse, our toller Aava and aussie Kaiku.
🦊 Aava (~4 years) is a sweet and sensitive dog who introduced me the world of dog sports. Unfortunately, Aava has some challenges with her elbows, so we live according to her needs, though she remains pain-free for now.
🦝 Kaiku (~3 years) is my trusted one with bundle of energy, joy and endless love. My shadow wherever I go! Of course, she’s not that subtle or quiet.
In our free time, we spend time in nature, enjoy a variety of dog sports like obidience, search, nosework, herding etc. Then we eat treats and have plenty of cuddle time.
I find it super interesting how much dogs communicate with us when we remember to listen. It’s important to me try to understand my dogs' behavior, so I can be the best possible support and comfort for them in different situations. I want to offer them activities and ensure their well-being while learning fun stuff together!
I enjoy photography and share the pictures i take on our Instagram account. I also love creating training videos and sharing thoughts from successes to failures. Then just our everyday life with hint of happy chaos as you can see from the "fail" picture above. 🌪️
We became Pomppa ambassadors because the company’s values are close to my heart, and we’re already familiar with and trust their products. It’s an honor to show high-quality products that help improve the well-being of pets. Every dog deserves their own Pomppa!
FUN FACT: I'm dreaming of third dog in our little pack! 🤪
You can find us on Instagram at @aavakokaikuu. See you there!
Miranda, Luuk & Lars / @exploringshelties
Hoi hoi fellow Pomppa fans! My name is Miranda, I am 24 years old and live in the Netherlands. Dogs are my biggest passion! I love everything around and involving them.
I have 2 Shelties. First Luuk. He’s a 3 year old tricolor. Luuk is a sensitive dog. He feels and experiences things intensely. Second, I have Lars. He is 4 months old and a sable. He is an open and easy-going pup! He loves working with me and is very food motivated. Luuk and Lars are opposites in many ways and I think that makes them a fantastic duo!
We love to spend our time outside! Explore everything the outside has to offer. We run agility together. Luuk and I started 2 years ago and have done a few competitions. He's my first sportdog and always gives 1000%. I want to run more competitions with Luuk. As well as doing a herding instinct test. With Lars I want to slowly build agility skills.
I think it’s important to give my dogs enough mental and physical satisfaction, as well as enough rest. I love seeing breeds doing the sports they are bred for. I care a lot about their food. Making meals that support their health.
On our Instagram, @exploringshelties, we share all aspects of our life; photography, being outdoors, adventuring, dog sports/agility, traveling in our van and healthy+pretty food bowls. Besides all the fun, we also share calmer and struggling days.
We wanted to continue as Pompassador because we genuinely love the brand. There is a coat for every dog for every season! What I love most about the coats is; they are easy to use and do not limit the dogs movements. Our favorites are the Kuori- and SporttiPomppa. I look forward to spreading more knowledge about Pomppa in our country and around the world.
FUN FACT: My dogs don’t care about any kind of sirens, because I watch so many first responder tv-shows.
Fanny & Ellie / @girlpaws
Hi! My name is Fanny, I’m 29 years old and I live in Stockholm, Sweden. I work in a warehouse and my biggest passion in life is dogs. I also love photography, so now I can combine my two passions.
I grew up with dogs in my family but this is my first own dog. Ellie is an Australian shepherd, she is 2 years old. She is very sweet and she also has a big will to please. She’s a quick learner and she loves to do everything by my side.
We train and compete in agilty and besides that we love to spend time in the woods. On my instagram @girlpaws I share our training sessions, competitions, our everyday life and photography. I also try to show the bad parts and what life actually looks like, including mental illness, and that reality doesn’t look like it does on most social media.
Our plans going forward is to continue with our agility journey and having fun. Maybe we will start with a new sport as well. I wanted to be a pompassador because I really like the brand, the fit and the amazing colors.
I’m looking forward to showing you more of us and pomppa on our instagram!
Hannah, Quill, Spree, Puzzle, Fidget & Frodo / @herdythings
Hi all! My name is Hannah, I am 26 years old and live in Colorado, USA with my partner, James, and our pack of 5 dogs. We have 3 border collies named Quill, Spree, and Puzzle, 1 border collie/australian shepherd mix named Fidget, and 1 pembroke welsh corgi named Frodo. I work in marketing for a dog based brand as my day job, and practice photography as my hobby on the side!
I love to photograph, hike, and train with the dogs, as well as spend as much time as a family as we can. Trick training is our go-to, but we also explore various sports like dock diving, scentwork, shed (antler) hunting, and soon to dive into agility! We are always looking to try new things and just have fun together.
On top of exploring and trying new sports, I love to document enrichment toys and meals that I try with the dogs, and educate dog owners on canine idiopathic epilepsy. Fidget, our 3 year old mixed breed, has refractory idiopathic epilepsy and has taught me new ways to view the world. Our social media channels serve as a place to document our adventures, training, enrichment, and education!
I am incredibly excited to be a Pompassador this season because quality gear is important and after years of testing different styles of gear, Pomppa products have suited the build of my dogs so well and hold up to training and exploration! I am looking forward to getting out this season and putting our gear to use, as well as making more memories in photos!
FUN FACT: I didn’t have dogs growing up, so the month that I moved out of my parents house at 18 was the same month I got my first dog, Frodo! He got me into loving outdoor adventures and dog gear. (Somehow, 7 years later, I have 5 now 😛)
Valeriia, Roxie & Theo / @hikerroxie
Hi everyone! My name is Valeriia, I am 27 years old adventurer living among the mountains in Slovakia with my two rhodesian ridgebacks, Theo and Roxie. Together, we’re all about the great outdoors. Whether it’s hiking trails or hitting the road for a spontaneous trip to disconnect from the daily grind, we’re always on the move. Roxie, however, has a special calling - she’s a air scent search and rescue (SAR) dog with barking alert, and we’ve been training for this since she was just a 3,5 month old puppy. We dedicate a lot of time at the rubbles and areas (forest, fields) around Europe.
As a pet owner, I believe in keeping my dogs active, engaged, and as happy as they make me. There’s rarely a day when we’re just sitting still - we thrive on plans, adventures, and pushing ourselves. Photography and videography is also my huge passion. Capturing these moments with my dogs is something that lets me unwind and enjoy our time even more. On social media, you’ll mostly find our hiking and travel stories, with the occasional SAR training or camps sprinkled in.
Looking to 2024-2025, we have big goals. Roxie is the only rhodesian ridgeback in the EU to pass both SAR exams, (area and search) and we’re gearing up for an avalanche course and exam early next year - a goal that, if achieved, would make her the first rhodesian ridgeback in history of the breeed with passed avalanche exam. I’m excited to pursue this alongside our winter trips to the Swiss Alps and the Dolomites.
Becoming a Pompassador feels like a perfect fit. I love that Pomppa offers functional, stylish gear to keep dogs protected in all kinds of weather, which is so important for Roxie’s training and our many outdoor adventures all together. Plus, the chance to collaborate with such a passionate community and inspire each other is something I’m really looking forward to.
FUN FACT: All my dogs at home are related and bred by me - Theo is the son, and Roxie is the granddaughter, of my first Ridgeback, Redy, who was born in 2012.
Renfri, Crowley, Zelda & Sasha / @myurbansheepdogs
Hey everyone! 🙋🏼♀️ I’m Renfri, 22, and the face behind @myurbansheepdogs. I’m from the Netherlands, and my life revolves around my dogs 🤪. I study HBO Animal Management, and all the time not spent at or for school goes into my dogs. We spend our time exploring nature, training, and participating in a variety of dog sports. Crowley even joins me at school, as he’s my Assistance Dog in training! 🥰
I have three wonderful dogs. Border collies Crowley and Zelda are my sports dogs. We compete in agility and doggydance, while also working sheep whenever we can. The coming year we will hopefully get back into competing 🤞🏻. Sasha however is happily retired from my craziness and loves joining us on walks 🥰.
Becoming a Pompassador felt like a perfect fit. Sasha has always been sensitive to the cold. She hates getting wet and starts shivering quite quickly. Luckily, she's healthy, but her coat isn’t great at keeping her warm. Crowley has color dilution alopecia (CDA), which results in some bald spots and an incorrect coat that breaks easily. His coat isn’t waterproof or windproof. To protect them both from the elements and prevent them from getting sick, they have to wear clothing. When I started researching dog clothing, I found Pomppa and have been a fan ever since! 😍
I’m thrilled to join the Pomppa family and look forward to sharing our journey with you, while showcasing how Pomppa products support our active lifestyle and keep my pups warm ♥️.
FUN FACT: I actually got Zelda as a rehome from another pompassador! She used to belong to my friend Amber, but she didn’t like the circus work. Zelda and Crowley are half-siblings, and when they met, they became best friends immediately! Now she's an agillity dog through and through! 🥰
Can’t wait to share more with you all!
Isabella, Hermes, Rivia & Orca / @ofsilkwings
Hi, my name is Isabella, I’m 24 years old and live in Vienna, Austria. I’m currently in the last year of my Master’s degree and working part-time in the Marketing section of a bank.
My life revolves around my three dogs; Hermes, a 10 year old Chihuahua, who is my childhood dream come true. I got him when I was 14 and he was my first agility dog and we even competed a couple of times. Hermes still looooves doing agility but at heart he is a total couchpotato.🦊
Rivia is a 4-year old Papillon and the complete opposite of Hermes. She is loud, never tired and is always up for anything. She also loves agility and has been to 12 countries already!🦋
Orca joined our pack in June and is Rivia’s halfsister. Riv and her play all day and she also gets to start on foundation work in agility.🐳
When we are not training agility, we love to go on roadtrips. I love capturing all our trips and daily life with my camera and sharing our adventures on instagram. You can follow us under @OfSilkwings. 🦋
We have a looot of traveling plans for 2025, including Norway, Finland, Sweden, eastern Europe and maaaaybe America. There are also a lot of agility trials I am looking forward to – first and foremost the tryouts for the World Championships in Agility. 🤩
I am thrilled to be a Pompassador this season, especially with the incredible novelties this year. Since we travel around a lot and camp in every weather, versatile gear is super important and Pomppa is exactly that.✨
FUN FACT: My dogs all have their designated colours for their gear: Hermes has lilac, Rivia has yellow and Orca turquoise.✨
Hi everyone! My name is Krista and I live in Kuopio, Finland with my partner Veeti and Miniature American Shepherd Papu. Papu is soon-to-be three years old goofy, energetic and mommy’s golden boy.🧡
Our daily basics includes lots of cuddles (obviously), walks in the city, adventures in our beautiful forests & agility! And the most important: lots of happy moments with my best friend.
One of my hobbies is photography so on our Instagram @paputhefloofer you can see pictures that I have captured on our adventures. I also share our daily basics, health stuff concerning the iris-melanoma, atopy and allergies, lots of cuddles and agility. My goal is to share everyday life with its joys and sorrows as honestly as possible. We have also tiktok under the same username🥰
We currently don’t have any plans for the years 2024-2025! We’re trying to enjoy the little things in life. The past years have been tough, so our plans and realities have changed. We really hope for a happy and most of all a balanced life.🙏🏼
I wanted to continue as a Pompassador because I just love the products. We have had Pomppa coats for years and I really like how they fit and don’t limit dog’s movement in any way. Also, the designs are timeless. The well-being of dogs is really important to me and especially with active dog the muscles must be kept warm before training or running like crazy in the forest to prevent injuries. In these situations, it’s essential for my dog to have some good gear on.
FUN FACT: We are both codependent on each other and go everywhere even to the sauna together! 🤭
Emilie, Lykka & Ila / @sheltielykka
Hi everyone 👋 My name is Emilie and I’m 27 years old. I live in the High Coast of Sweden with my two Shelties Lykka (3 years) and Ila (7 months).
We spend most of our free time out and about, in the woods, up a mountain or doing what we love the most - agility training! You can see a lot of that on our instagram @sheltielykka!
Lykka and I are competing grade 3 agility and Ila has just started her journey 🤩
I’ve actually qualified for the Swedish agility championships 2025 with Lykka and we’re so excited to have reached one of our biggest goals!!
Hopefully we’ll be able to compete outside of Sweden as well next year! 🤭
I always focus on building a healthy and happy relationship between my dogs and I, and we learn a lot from just playing around and having a good time 🫶
We’re so excited to be a part of the Pomppa team! The Jumppa has been my favourite for a long time, it’s perfect for our active lifestyle, and I’m so thrilled to try some more of their amazing products!! So happy to have my girls all geared up for the chilly seasons!
FUN FACT: The girls always has a toy ready in front of the tv in case something fun shows up (e.g. Animals or a specific commercial) 🫣🤭
Jasmine, Java & Twix / @taisteluorava
I'm Jasmine, a full-time animal trainer from Finland. I have two belgian malinoises, Twix 7 months and Java 3 years.
Java is a spicy mini mal, a dog that you can trust on in every situation in life. Training her is thou interesting cause she is a fire cracker!
Twix is the perfect puppy, easy in the everyday life but immediately fired up when it comes to working on her hobbies.
I'm a working dog enthusiast, and besides our hobbies, we like to hike and wander in the woods. I think the dogs wellbeing is the most important thing to take care of, and everything else like competing comes after that. So first comes the sniffing which dog needs as part of its species-typical behavior, and after that all the things mainly I wanna do with them, like obedience training. Dogs overall wellbeing is my passion, I think about that a lot and try take care of that the best I can.
Twix's hobbies are IGP, which I train by positive reinforcement, and search and rescue. Java is doing all kinds of scent working like tracking and special searching.
Java has been suffering from some stomach issues so I hope the dogs will be healthy for some time now!
As we do move around pretty much because of all the hobbies, work and exercise, we wanted to be Pompassadors because of the wide product range and the ergonomic design of the products. We need a bit different clothing in different occasions, and from Pomppa we can find everything we need.
FUN FACT: in fall we are mushroom picking all our spare time, though I don't eat mushrooms. I know the joy of searching and finding as dogs do 😄
Bella, Nemo & Wim / @teamluckyfins
Who are you and where are you from?
Hello! My name is Bella, I am a 27-year-old medical student and I have a 6-year- old Russian toy male named Nemo and a 10-month-old Shetland Sheepdog called Wim. We are from Sweden, currently living in Denmark for my master’s degree 😀
How do you spend your spare time with your pet?
With Nemo I train agility and dabble but, he trains as much as he wants to otherwise he is the team mascot! Wim is going to be my primary competition dog in agility, but I want to try other sports as well with her including herding 😀 We like to do agility, hike, explore nature and to travel together! 🙂
Your values and passions as a pet owner?
My dogs are my everything, my first priority in everything I do and I value to spend quality time with them, to do things we all enjoy and to give my dogs the best possible life that I can give them! My passion is that small dogs can do just as much as big ones and deserve an active fun exciting life!
What kind of content does your social media page have?
I started my social media page because I wanted to share that small dogs can do anything! I wanted to inspire owners to be active with their dogs regardless of their size. Now our social media is an insight into our everyday life, I share our trainings (a lot of agility content haha ) trips and adventures and try to inspire everyone to be active and have fun with their dogs 😀
Any plans or goals for the years 2024-2025?
Our plans are to keep on training agility and to explore some new places in Denmark together! In 2025 I hope to complete Wim’s health tests, and to go on many fun trips for dog competitions. Wim is allowed to debut in agility in the middle of next summer so that is perfect timing for summer adventures! 😀
Why did you want to become a Pompassador?
I have loved Pomppa since I found out about them in 2019. Nemo got a Jumppa, when he was still a puppy! Since then, the love for the brand only grew. For Wim I also had to hop on the Pomppa craze and got her first items even before she came home, and it suits her body super well as well! I do truly love the brand, I support and stand behind their message 100% and I value the diversity of the Pomppa items, in everything from sizing, to colors, it’s so nice to be able to change the jumpers and coats in every season! I honestly use the items all year round for both my dogs 😀
What are you looking forward to as a Pompassador?
I am looking forward to sharing my joy and love for the Pomppa brand. I want to show how well the clothing fits and moves with an active lifestyle. Hopefully we can do a lot of fun content this season, hopefully matching outfits and agility and hiking photos :D I am very excited for this upcoming season!!
FUN FACT: My dogs often wear Jumppa Pomppa indoors as I (the human) love to have a very cold temperature inside all year round xD even in winter the windows are often open all day!
Feel free to follow us @Teamluckyfins on Instagram, TikTok and Youtube !

Also they have free time to be dogs and enjoy nature. they love also nice hikes and exploring together. our chewing a nice snack :) I love to train with them and cuddle they are definitely my best friends and I love them with my whole heart!
💡 Your values and passions as a pet owner?
I loved animals since I was a little kid I went to the farms and horse stables with my mom. And did horse riding for a while but my passion was already the love I had for dogs. So when I was 10 years old I started training other people’s dogs and when I was 13 I got a little Maltese who now is almost 16 years old. I trained them for a while and he loved learning new tricks. After a few years it got my dream dog Ruby my first border collie and that’s where my dream started to grow! It was always my dream to perform and make peope happy so I’m really grateful I get to do what I love the most and what my dogs love to! We share a passion and that makes it ever more special.
💡 What kind of content does your social media page have?
I perform with my dogs all over the world mostly in circus and events our dogs shows. we have been to Canada, USA , Mexico , Bermuda , the UK and lots of places in Europe, Spain , France , Switzerland and Belgium , Austria , Italy, and hopefully many more!
💡 Any plans or goals for the years 2024-2025?
Our goal is to inspire people to work together with there dogs and see how much fun you can have together and the bond you building. I would love to do more work with my dogs outside the Netherlands our maby we can do another tv show to inspire more people! Also I wanna travel much more to meet new people and to see more of the beautiful world 🌍
💡 Why did you want to become a Pompassador?
I loved the brand for 4 years now and I always felt like the quality of this brand was made with love and not just for it to be sold. I feel like it’s made specially and with a lot of care! I can really feel and see it in the products! I believe every dog deserves a nice extra piece of protection for the day even it does not matter what weather it is cause it’s made with a lot of love! And patience. I tried to be a pomppasador for 4 years and I’m so happy and grateful that we finally made it into the team! I love it so much already and I’m very thankful!
💡 What are you looking forward to as a Pompassador?
I’m really looking forward to new products in the future and the photos and videos we can make with the products we got. Im really excited about it cause I use the brand every day! In daily live!
FUN FACT: When I was very young my mom told me I was scared of dogs and now I can’t imagine a life without them!
Ida, Noddy & Pan / @turfoten
My name is Ida, and I live in the countryside in Norway with my boyfriend and two dogs, Noddy (9) and Pan (2).
My dogs and I love to spend our time outdoors, hiking and camping during all seasons. I really love beautiful views and sunsets, as you can see on my Instagram @turfoten. In the summer of 2022, I bought and built my own microcamper, and being on the road with Noddy and Pan has been awesome. I truly love the freedom, and Norway doesn’t disappoint when it comes to beautiful places to visit! But I really wish and hope to travel beyond the borders and discover even more!
We also do agility, but just for fun! Noddy retired this year, and it broke my heart a little bit. Running with him was the best feeling; he was just perfect on the green carpet, and we learned it all together. I just started to compete with Pan, but he lacks a bit of excitement and cooperation. However, it has been so much better lately, and we’re finding our way.
I try hard to give my dogs everything they need, both mentally and physically. When they lay down for the evening, tired and happy, I feel a sense of satisfaction and inner peace. I build my life around my dogs, and they are truly my heart and soul.
I loved Pomppa long before I became a Pomppassador. Their products are a perfect fit for active dogs who need freedom to move. For agility, the Pomppa Jumppa is perfect because of its slim fit!
FUN FACT: Pan is a Norwegian Lundehund, one of the rarest breeds in the world!
(They also have a unique anatomy with six toes on each paw, they can lay their head on their back, their front legs can point 90 degrees out from their shoulders, and they can fold their ear to keep mud and dirt away).
Mandy, Faya, Lynn & Zira / @two.adventure.tails
Hiya! My name is Mandy & I'm living in the Netherlands together with my boyfriend and my 3 border collies.
I love to explore, ofcourse together with my dogs! From summer beach days to snowy mountains. We've seen pretty much, but there is still a lot more to explore! We also love to do dog sports, our main focus is agility, but we also do lots of variety like frisbee, canicross & sheep herding.
My three girls are Faya, Lynn and Zira. Faya is my first dog, I got her since she was a little pup 🐶🧡. She's now 6 years old. She basically loves everything... and everyone 😂. Our main sport together is agility and we are currently competing in grade 2.
Lynn is my second dog, I adopted her from the shelter, about 3.5years ago. Knowing her it feels a lot longer. She's 10years old and basically enjoys life with us. We take her out for hikes & we do small exercises which she loves. She doesn't do any dog sports due to her age, which is totally fine ofcourse!
Zira is our latest addition but a hand full. She's 4 years old I adopted about 1.5 years back. She has her own story. She herds anything that moves quicker than a walking person and due to that, it's hard to take her with us on hikes. But to fulfill her needs we do mental games at home, sheepherding and also agility!
We love to use pomppa after the work outs to keep the muscles warm, but also on the rainy days we (frequently) get in the Netherlands 😂. Also when we go to a colder place, Lynn really needs a thick winter jacket, because she's cold pretty fast
FUN FACT: I have asthma, but that doesn't stop me from going on adventures. Especially hiking up a mountain somewhere! In the end we always get there, with some stops 😎
With our amazing team, there won't be a dull moment this season! Be sure to follow our Pompassadors on Instagram, as the upcoming season is packed with Pomppa giveaways, discount campaings, and other fun activities.
This season our Pompassador search received almost 500 applications from our fans across the globe. Thank you to our active community for your endless interest and support!
Are you interested in becoming a Pomppa brand ambassador? We search for new Pompassadors every fall, so stay tuned on our social media channels in August-September 2025.
