Tips to live in harmony with

Expert Dog Training Services in English and Spanish
SERVICES
I do 1-hour-private sessions in your home and I will help you and your dog to reach your behavioral goals together.
If you need help with something specific or if your dog has fears or is too reactive to go to a class, this is your chance! In a private session you will have my full attention and we will accomplish much more than in a group class.
-Do you have problems with your dog’s obedience?
-Does your dog pull on the leash?
-Does your dog jump on your guests?
-Does your dog have fears and anxiety?
-Do you think your dog is aggressive?
-Do your neighbours complain about your dog barking all day?
-Do you find a big mess when you get home or do you have to clean urine all over the house?
-Is your dog too nervous?
-Are you frustrated and you don’t know what to do anymore?
I can help you! I treat reactivity problems, overexcitement issues, fears, separation anxiety and other behaviour problems you may have with your dog. I teach basic education, calmness and puppy training/ socialization.
About Me
My name is Belén García and I run Sentit Caní, a dog blog and coaching business.
I reside in Barcelona, Spain. I grew up surrounded by litters of puppies, kittens, dogs, cats and other animals.
I received my Bachelors Degree in Biology at the University of Barcelona and then started to educate myself in Positive Dog Training and Ethology, a way of training that involves no form of physical or psychological intimidation, based on progressive reinforcement training methods. I studied with the world renowned Turid Rugaas for 2 years.
I also coursed a Postgraduate Degree in Anthrozoology; the science that studies the humane-animal bond.
For me it’s very important to keep current with the latest educational resources and techniques in order to offer my clients the best possible services.

Mission
Vision
The mission of Sentit Caní is to improve the communication and relationship you have with your dog, as well as the quality of life for both of you through positive training with ethics and based on science.
The vision of Sentit Caní is an aware and sensitised society where no dogs are longer abandoned because of lack of information and/or lack of resources; where dogs are educated from their early stages for preventive measures of behaviour problems; where all dogs have the physical and mental stimulation that they require and where dogs are considered a member of the family in the home in which they live.

It is fantastic that we have crossed paths learning from those fabulous teachers that are the dogs. I love your transparency with which you help the dogs in need and your support to those inexperienced owners.
