What training methods do you use, and how do you tailor your approach to suit different dog personalities and behavior issues?
By using positive reinforcement as my foundation, I create a flexible and personalized approach that suits the dog’s temperament and specific behavior issues. Every dog is unique, and I tailor my training to ensure it is engaging, effective, and appropriate for their personality.

Manuela literally saved Layla. Can October 2021 me and my son took in his friends dog due to his friend’ s death. I already had two little very old Chihuahuas and everything went great for about a month. One evening on the back deck my smaller Chihuahua died and Layla did it! Of course now I realize my reaction to the situation made things worse. I was a frantic mess. I reached out to everyone my vet everybody I knew to try to get help. I feel like I won the lottery when I found Manuela! She’s not just your average dog trainer and I can tell you trainer’s like her are few! Her knowledge of canine behavior is amazing! Not only did she help me train Layla but she also helped me understand what had happened between the two dogs! If you really need an excellent dog trainer I would 100% recommend her!

She has a wealth of knowledge about dog behavior. Why he does what he does. She showed me how to train him in a positive, fun way.
When she met Atticus he would not come when I called, messed in the house, and I had to chase him around the house to get a leash on.
No more!
We are happy with him and he is happier too.
Highly recommend

Manuela is awesome! We learned so much from her, and she teaches in such a kind yet effective way. Her lessons have made a huge difference in our two dogs, and we will definitely use her for any dogs we get in the future!

Manuela was such a fantastic teacher for my borzoi and I! She was so encouraging and understanding of my rescue dog and helped me build a better relationship with him. Her lessons were simple and effective and my dog and I were able to get him CGC certified which I never thought could happen but now he’s a very good boy!
