How I Can Help you
method and philosophy
Dog Culture
An essential premise: to properly educate your dog, it's crucial to develop a “dog culture.” Learning to observe and understand your dog is vital for adequately responding to their needs and correctly interpreting their behaviors. Dogs, regardless of breed, size, or temperament, communicate! What we humans need to do is learn to "hear" them and recognize their signals, avoiding inconsistencies between what we verbally request and what our body communicates.
Communication
This is why I believe it's essential to educate the human as much as to train the dog; I will reveal the secrets for essential mutual understanding, reminding you that a dog that doesn't listen is probably a dog that doesn't feel heard. Dogs respond to tone of voice, body language, and energy. You will learn to recognize these signals to communicate effectively with your four-legged friend, while focusing on mutual trust, respect, and connection.
Empathy
My method is based on an empathetic approach that considers the needs of both you and your dog, offering you the tools to build a solid and lasting connection. By providing you with tools and techniques, the training starts with me but continues with you. I can teach new behaviors to your dog, but you are the ones who spend every day with them. It's fundamental to remember that consistency and repetition are crucial to achieving results!
Perseverance
Relationship-based training, which involves both you and your dog, produces the best results, representing true teamwork where both of you will benefit and be happier in your new relationship. I always remind those who undertake an educational or rehabilitative journey with me that patience and perseverance are fundamental for achieving the best results. Every dog has its own personality, sensitivity, and timing, and must be respected as an individual. Instead of asking what our dog can do for us, we can start asking: what can we do for them?
