About Maria
Hello! My name is Maria. I'm sertified, experienced, responsible dog walker, trainer and behaviorist (a specialist in dog's behavior correction). I adore dogs and had them since I was born.
Walk session: 1-2 hours (or less if needed)
I'm not yet for a long time with Pawshake so I can show my recommendations from other resources.
I'm looking here for pawrents who want to enrich their dog's life or to make some behavior corrections. I do not charge additional for trainings, just walk price. Normally I walk for 1-2 hours at 7am (for sure if needed I can do less and in other time).
I know a lot of intellectual and physical EXERCISES, GAMES and TRUCKS which make walks balanced as dogs not just walk but also develop their brain, fit muscles and make there life more interesting and happy so they also live much longer.
I can help cope with such problems as FEARS, AGGRESSIONS, HYPERACTIVITY, DISOBEDIENCE, ANXIETY and other UNWANTED DOG'S BEHAVIOR. I can help with other issues, for example if your dog refuses to go to a car or downstairs, etc. I can just give your dog(s) great walks with or without training. We can practice during walks and/or at home.
My approach is 100% positive reinforcement because I am sure that other methods just don't work.
In some cases I can do daycare and overnight dog-sitting at your or my home. For small corrections I can just come to your place also.
Note: daycare price includes walks (if needed).
I'm ready for ALL TYPES of DOGS in all types of weather from 6 a.m.
All in all, I'm strong and experienced enough to take care of any STRONG and/or AGGRESSIVE or DISOBEDIENT dog and on the other hand I communicate perfectly with ANXIOUS dogs.
I adopted my dog. He was very much unsocialized and anxious. Now he is perfectly contacting with anyone and listens to me perfectly. If needed HE HELPS ME WITH OTHER DOGS behavior corrections by showing them how to act. That works really AMAZING! Sometimes the only one session is enough to cope with a dog's unwanted behavior.
I have SEVERAL EDUCATIONS and continue studying.
I'm originally from Moscow, Russia. I don't speak Dutch yet, but practicing). For now my vocabulary (also French, German, Italian and Greek) is enough to talk to dogs. Since 2023 I live in Charlois, Rotterdam (2 minutes to Zuiderpark and 5 min to a veryrecommended 24h vet clinic) with my husband and our dog Amur.
One of my hobbies is walking. So if your dog likes LONG WALKS I will provide 1-2 hours walks to him with a pleasure.
