I'm Adriana— a biologistwith a Master's in Wildlife Conservation from São Paulo Zoo and a PhD candidate in Science Communication at the University of Porto. My journey with dogs goes beyond just loving them – it's a deep commitment to science, education, and animal welfare.
I'm certified in Animal-Assisted Interventions by Associação Ânimas and work with therapy dogs in schools alongside my amazing partner, Hendrix 🐶.
I’ve also had the chance to dive into canine behavior studies at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, with the Family Dogresearch program. Plus, I keep expanding my knowledge through courses and seminars with top professionals like Tom Davis (Upstate Canine Academy), Stephanie Vichinsky (Method K9 Institute), and Nuno Lopes (Train Your Dog) - with whom I’ve worked closely and gained invaluable hands-on experience.
I believe that any change is possible, as long as there is commitment, patience and consistency from everyone involved. My mission is to give you the tools to make that happen.
If you’re looking to strengthen your bond with your dog, better understand their behavior, and learn effective training strategies — you’re in the right place!
