About Rafaela
Hello, everyone!
I am a dog lover and a passionate dog mom. I live in the Netherlands with my husband and our three adorable rescued dogs. We moved here from Brazil in 2022, where we have a shelter that supports around 20 dogs who were abandoned or abused. Our shelter provides them with food, care and safety, and is currently run by my father-in-law.
I have always been passionate about helping animals live their best life. That’s why I have spent the last few years studying the canine species and learning about their behavior, instincts and needs from their perspective. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I know how to handle different situations and challenges.
I offer fun and enriching activities for your furry friend, such as quality walks, games, puzzles and toys. These activities stimulate their senses, exercise their brain and make them happy and satisfied. I also use positive training methods based on scientific research and positive reinforcement, which means I reward the good behavior and ignore the bad ones.
My focus areas are:
- Canine behavior and their needs
- Canine body language: how to understand and communicate with dogs
- Reactive dogs: how to deal with fear, anxiety and aggression
- Positive training: how to teach and reinforce desired behavior
At the moment, I can only host one dog at a time, to ensure a quality stay and to meet the needs of my own dogs. If you are interested in my services, please contact me and I will be happy to discuss the details with you.
If your dog isn't friendly with other dogs, that's not a problem. I can organize my house so that my dogs don't come into contact with your dog. That way they can enjoy a peaceful stay.
I look forward to meeting you and your dog soon! 🐶
