Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile:) I recently moved from Barcelona to Amsterdam, so my profile on the platform is new, and I'm looking forward to getting to know the four-legged residents of the Netherlands! My name is Anastasia, and my first word was "a dog." My goal is to provide the same level of care, love and attention as if you were home and maintain the routine, so that your fur friend feels as comfortable as possible:) Back in 2016, I decided to turn my love for animals into something more constructive that may actually help dogs and their humans, and this is how I became a dog trainer. My approach is based on compassion, positive reinforcement, and understanding animal needs. We don´t punish or tell a dog what NOT to do; we show what we want from a dog and how to achieve it (and even receive a tasty treat!). After working at a dog hotel, volunteering in shelters for many years, and creating my dog-training project (alongside my husband, who is also a dog trainer), I have deep expertise in creating a safe and loving space for your favourite creatures. Although I’m a professional dog trainer, I also love caring for cats and have several years of experience cat sitting for families and shelters. Please feel free to share any specific needs or requests, and I will make sure to accommodate you and, most importantly, your furry friend in the best possible way:) Thank you for making it this far, Heartfelt regards, Anastasia
