How I work
Changing behaviour starts with understanding why a dog does what they do. Without that insight you train symptoms away and they come back somewhere else.
You hear what is really going on
During a consultation I do not only look at the dog. I look at the interaction. How you react, how you stand on the lead the moment you see the other dog, what your dog needs from you and is not getting.
Usually the difference lies in something small you have been doing for years without noticing. That is not a reproach. It is the quickest way in to change, and it means you have influence over it yourself.
You get clarity, not tricks
A dog who does not know what is going to happen will fill it in themselves. That is where lunging, pulling and destruction come from. Calm does not come from more attention, it comes from predictability.
You work with fixed routines, clear boundaries and communication that always means the same thing. Rewards are part of that. They are just not the only tool in the box.
You do the work, I give the direction
I can have your dog walking differently within a week. If you carry on doing the same things afterwards, it is back within a month.
That is why all of this work ends with you. You get exercises you understand, an explanation of why they work and a way to carry on once I have gone.
About Angelique
I live in Jávea with my husband, my children and two dogs, Chief and Chula. To me dogs are not pets you keep on the side. They are loyal, full of character, and like people they can struggle with insecurity and fear.
I trained with people who work with the most difficult dogs. What I learned there I use here, out on the street in Jávea, with dogs other people have given up on.
What counts is whether your dog is calmer in three months than today.
A hundred dogs, no two the same
In six years I have worked with well over a hundred dogs. Some of those cases produced assistance dogs, dogs who ended up doing work for their owner.
There are dogs I follow for months because a lot has to change, and families from the village who have me over three times and manage on their own after that.
The approach is the same in every case. Look at what is really happening, then teach the owner what they need to do differently.
Who this works for
- Your dog lunges at dogs or people and you now avoid certain routes.
- You have already tried a course or an online programme.
- You are willing to change something yourself, not just your dog.
Who it is not for
- You are looking for someone to come and fix the dog while you watch.
- You want results without anything changing at home.
