About Me

¡HI!

My name is Manuela

I am the founder of Dogsmart Academy, and since I was a child, I have had a deep passion for animals, especially dogs. This love for them led me to dedicate myself to the study of dog training, eventually becoming a certified trainer. I have two wonderful dogs who have not only been my inspiration but also motivate me every day to be a better person and trainer.

Training Philosophy

I firmly believe in positive reinforcement training, promoting a relationship of respect and understanding between you and your dog.

 

My approach focuses on creating a solid, healthy plan for you to follow as long as necessary, using gentle yet highly effective techniques.

How does it work?

Diagnosis

We will analyze the environment in which you and your dog live, identifying each problem or situation we need to address.

The plan

We will design a strategic plan that will include exercises, homework assignments, and personalized routines to address any challenges they may face.

The process

I'll guide and support you step by step to successfully progress through the plan, with exercises designed for both indoor and outdoor use.

The results

You'll achieve the same results you would in person and start to notice weekly changes in your dog's behavior, as long as you follow the plan to the letter!
