About Maria
Hello! I'm Maria, an experienced, certified and responsible dog behaviourist.
I offer personal professional care for your dog, so they have an amazing holiday too🐾 …while learning and developing better behaviour.🧡
Most of my clients are regulars. They know each other and come flying through my gates. 😂 😊
ME. I've adored dogs my entire life. I'm strong and experienced enough to handle active or aggressive dogs, while also being calm and nurturing enough to earn the trust of anxious ones.
HERE, Dogs have purposeful, structured days. I host a small group (usually 3-6 dogs), entertained with walks, interesting trainings and communications, indoor and outdoor games. I provide a personal, safe relaxing space tailored to their preferences (no crates unless requested), where they can relax at their own way. No slippery floors, sofas are low. I have a big indoor gaming area. There's enough space so no dog has to interact if they don't feel like it. That said, most dogs, if properly introduced and helped to become friends, actually prefer spending time with the group! 😊🧡 Depending on the situation, we go to a dog park with a training equipment or walk around, or to enjoy the sea beach or a lake. There are also a river and forest areas nearby.
I will send you as much videos as you feel enough.

Additional training.
Usual obedience training is, of course, included. Also, learning from well-behaved dogs. Which is one of the most effective training methods.
If you'd like additional training during their stay, we can discuss pricing.
My training approach is based entirely on positive reinforcement, as I believe other methods simply don’t work.

My dog.
My own dog, Amur, was very unsocialized and anxious when I adopted him. With positive reinforcement training, he now interacts wonderfully with others and helps me with behaviour modification in other dogs. Learning from well-behaved dogs is one of the most effective training methods, and sometimes just one session is enough to see significant improvements.
Feel free to reach out for more information or to inquire about any specific services!
