Hi! My name is Marta. 

Like all dog trainers and behaviourists, I have loved dogs since I was a little girl. I constantly begged my parents to allow me to have one but they resisted, so by the time I was 14, since I wasn't allowed to have my own, I started offering dog walkings to our neighbours' and friends' dogs, just to be able to spend time with these wonderful animals.

10 years later, I completed International Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) "Career as a dog trainer" advanced professional course in the UK, and along the studies I started offering dog training/sitting/walking services. I eventually had my own dog, volunteered at shelters, and helped an award winning Rottweiler breeder with her puppies.

Not only I carried on working with many clients throughout the years, I also kept (and continue to carry on) deepening my knowledge throughout the years and  completed various courses: IDMT's Perfect Puppy, Loose Leash Walks, Separation Distress courses, Victoria Stilwell's Dog Training Academy, even a dog groomer one! ... and thought I knew it all.... 

However, it was only when I completed COAPE's (Centre of Applied Pet Ethology) two-year Dog Behaviour diploma course, that I truly understood the psychology and behavior of dogs and the scientific principles behind their natural instincts and actions.

I use all my experience, understanding and knowledge to help owners and families with their dogs through a variety of training and behaviour modification programs. One of the key elements I share and use is the concept of the seven core emotional states dogs experience, and why creating balance between them is so important as well as the inherited predatory motor patterns and how to satisfy them for different breeds. My approach combines psychological and scientific principles, while also respecting each dog's unique personality, past experiences, traumas, emotion, and mood states. 

I don't believe in quick fixes nor in one-size-fits-all solutions. I design step-by-step, personalised recommendations tailored to both your dog and your lifestyle every time, each time. 

Canine friends throughout the years
