About Mafalda

I'm friends with animals, relying on a strong natural understanding on how to interact with them. Connection is the fundamental key to develop a healthy relationship with an animal, based on true communication.
I am a certified Professional Ethical Dog Trainer by The Calming Signals Approach® and The Caring Human Code® of [link hidden]. Currently enrolled to obtain my diploma as a dog behaviour specialist.

Available: Monday to Friday in the afternoon, flexible on weekends.
Minimum 40 minute session: cat visits and dog walks
Daily photo update. 

cat visits: We play a bit, exchange some cuddles and prrrrr's, I clean and refill water and food bowls, and clear the litter box. Or go for a walk, if that's something you and your cat already do together.
If you are away for longer periods, I will collect your mail and water the plants too.
dog walks: tend to last a bit longer, it's always fascinating to watch them explore.
I walk with them on a long leash and harness, along green areas.
I avoid dog parks, unless there's a regular calm group that your dog is familiar with already.

My main concern is that your pet is safe, relaxed and happy!

Throughout my childhood, I made friends with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks, rabbits, a pig, a hamster, a goose, a goat.
I moved to Belgium in 2015, seeking a more open and pet inclusive society where I could bring Ozzy (my dog and best partner!) and it totally proved worthy.

Animal behaviour has always fascinated me and I am continuously searching to extend my knowledge and experience in communicating with animals.
Hopefully, in the future, I can be exclusively working with animals: along the path of becoming a behaviourist. There is a long road to go, but the best way to get acquainted with the subject is to effectively be surrounded with as many different characters and behaviours as possible.
