Client Testimonials

Ina & Mika

South Africa

"When I welcomed Mika, my lively Jack Russell, into my life, I got more than I bargained for. At seven weeks old, she was wild, reactive, and constantly on the move — adorable, but overwhelming. I needed help, and I found it in Marta. Even working remotely, Marta's guidance has been nothing short of transformative. Her calm, intuitive and professional approach helped me understand Mika's behavior and how to respond to it. She offered creative, practical ideas — from homemade enrichment toys to using everyday household items — that made training feel accessible and fun. With Marta's support, Mika is changing day by day. She's becoming more restful, more responsive, and our connection is deepening in ways I didn't think possible. 

I'm learning so much about dog behavior, things I never knew, and this is improving me and Mika's relationship so so much. I'm so grateful for Marta's expertise, empathy, and the way she empowers me to support Mika's growth. Her online guidance has made a real difference — not just for my dog, but for me as a dog mom"

Anna & Sirpy

United Kingdom

"Our 1-year-old black Lab, Sirpy, was a bundle of uncontrolled energy when we asked Marta to help us. He would pull us down the street, jump on every guest, and completely ignore our calls to come back at the park. We'd tried traditional training, but nothing seemed to work. Marta's approach was completely different. Instead of just teaching commands, she helped us understand Sirpy's natural instincts and energy levels. She showed us how to work with his retriever intelligence and enthusiasm rather than fighting against it. The transformation was incredible - within weeks, Sirpy was calmer, more responsive, and actually seemed happier. Now our crazy puppy has blossomed into a confident, well-balanced dog who brings joy rather than chaos to our home. He still has his playful Lab spirit, but now it's channeled in such positive ways. 

Marta didn't just train our dog - she helped us truly understand him. It's like she gave us the key to unlocking who Sirpy was meant to be all along. We couldn't be more grateful!"

Marina & Basti

Spain

"We had an excellent experience working with Marta, who truly stands out as a professional and passionate dog coach. Basti was attacked and beaten as a puppy and developed reactivity disorder. He was very scared of going/being outside and meeting other dogs. From the very first session, it was clear that Marta not only understands our dog's behavior on a deep level but also genuinely cares about creating a positive and trusting relationship between Basti and us. Marta used effective, science-based training methods that were always kind and respectful to my dog. Every session was well-structured, clear, and tailored to Basti's personality and needs. I especially appreciate the patience, encouragement, and practical advice that helped me feel confident and supported throughout the training process. Thanks to Marta, Basti's behavior has improved tremendously — we've seen real progress in confidence, and overall happiness. I would highly recommend Marta to anyone looking for a skilled, reliable, and compassionate dog coach who delivers results and truly loves what she does or an excellent dog sitter who knows exactly what you and your furry family member needs."

Nat & her Rottweilers

United Kingdom

"I can confidently say there are very few people I would ever trust with my dogs the way I trust Marta. She cared for 16 Rottweiler puppies from two separate litters, along with my 17 adult dogs — and handled it with incredible knowledge, structure, and professionalism.

Anyone who knows Rottweilers understands they are powerful, intelligent working dogs that require confident handling and a deep understanding of canine behavior. Managing feeding routines,  socialisation, exercise, supervision, and maintaining calm leadership across that many dogs is no small task. Marta demonstrated exceptional knowledge of dog training and behaviour, body language, early development, and structured management. 

What stood out most was her ability to maintain order while still giving each dog attention and care. The puppies were thriving — confident, well-socialised, and on track developmentally — and my adult dogs were settled, balanced, content and adored Marta

The level of trust built during that time is the reason I have requested Marta to work with me multiple times since. When you find someone with that level of experience, instinct, and genuine understanding of dogs, you don't let them go.

I would recommend Marta without hesitation!'

Coline & Brownie

Spain

"Marta has been helping Brownie and I tackle his reactivity issue and adjust to some fundamental changes in his routine with professionalism and dedication. We couldn't be happier to have her by our side to make some progress. She's an absolute delight with extensive knowledge of the canine world"

Beth & Ziggy

Spain

"Marta is incredible! I was really nervous to leave my little Ziggy for a week as he is very anxious and suffers from separation anxiety. However, as soon as I arrived I was put at ease. Marta was absolutely brilliant with him and has a real gift with dogs. Thank you Marta!  100000% recommendable"

Alison & Harry

United Kingdom

"Marta looked after our elderly golden retriever and was absolutely wonderful. We were quite nervous as it was our first time but once we met Marta, we immediately realized that Harry would be in good hands. Marta is very kind and has a lot of love for animals. We are very grateful for everything. Thank you Marta!"

Esther & Cannolo

Spain

"We met Marta at a time when we were a bit desperate (our lovely dachshund was super anxious and reactive). We had tried traditional trainers and they would help with basic commands, but not with his behaviour. 

Marta helped us to better understand our dog, and by understanding him, we started working on his behaviour with the help of Marta. It is incredible how important the little details are and how sometimes we do things (with our best intentions) that don't really help our dogs. 

Thanks Marta for helping us understand our dear Cannolo, thus making him feel calmer, happier, and less anxious!!"
