I’m the founder of Positive Dog, Podcaster, Dog Behaviour and Training Consultant, Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer (CSAT) and proudly Brazilian. I specialise in well-mannered and happy dogs with more than 7 years of experience in dog behaviour. I believe in fear and force free dog training and science-based training guides all I do. When training with a dog, I investigate deeply all the possible motives why the dog is showing the behaviour. I’m used to working with dogs that had many other trainers before and no success. I also work alongside vets helping to investigate contributing factors that can affect behaviour conducting clinical investigations. I’ve helped 900+ dogs and guardians to live easier and happy lives with their dogs.

Marvin, the fluff in the picture, was my rescue dog and soulmate who taught me so much and, unfortunately, he passed away last year. My eagerness to help animals who have behaviour issues like Marvin just grew since I adopted him. I sought education and certifications to help me to deliver long term results for dogs that struggle.

Aside from practical experience, I also have wide-ranging knowledge of behaviour modification and applied behaviour analysis.

I focus on:

Aggression & Resource Guarding
Impulsive control
Separation anxiety
Repetitive behaviour
Noise sensitivities
Anxiety and fear
Dog-cat relationship
Dog behaviour issues
Puppy issues and socialisation
Training issues (recall, lead walking, focus etc)
