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. Through patience, consistency, and creativity, I help dogs learn new behaviors, overcome challenges, and build a strong, positive relationship with their owners.

I can’t say enough good things about Manuela. After a very traumatic dog attack in our own backyard, my beagle, Clarence, was terrified to go outside. He even lost his ear in the attack, and had to have a series of surgeries and an extended period of healing. He completely refused to go outside to use the bathroom and who could blame him?
Manuela came to our home and worked with both Clarence and me. She was patient, calm, and incredibly understanding of how much trauma we were both carrying. She didn’t rush him or force anything. Because of her help, Clarence started to feel safe enough to go back outside and enjoy his backyard.
Manuela was a huge support during a really hard experience, and I’m forever grateful for her help.

I have used Manuela twice now, the first time for basic training with our rescue dogs and the second time for resource guarding with aggression. The second round we had home visits to work on the dogs relationship with each other, I don’t even remember how long it took-I only know it worked! What we learned from Manuela helped us prevent further reaction from body language, etc. Now our pups get along amazingly, they’re goofy and playful with each other and we owe this to her! Highly recommend!!!
