My work is to help in the communication and development of the relationship between owners and their dogs!
Online and at Home (Oeiras, Cascais and periphery of Sintra)
When certain behaviours arise in our four-legged friends, these can be a source of stress for everyone involved and strategies are often applied that may actually be worsening the behaviour in question, causing a deterioration and loss of confidence in the relationship between dog and guardian.
My job is precisely to help in the communication and development of the relationship between tutors and their four-legged friends!
In doing so, I explain and interpret the behaviour in question and the body language of your dog, clarify doubts about natural behaviours of the species and help in their management and behavioural modification.
Certified Dog Behaviour Consultant & Professional Dog Trainer
"My approach and methodology in behavioural modification and animal training is based on scientific methods without any use of force and abusive tools that cause pain or suffering, always respecting animal welfare."
My area of interest and where I focus the most on my learning and academic development is on aggressive behaviour.
Within the spectrum of aggressive behaviour we can find dogs that present in certain contexts:
There are no aggressive dogs, but dogs that can exhibit aggressive behaviours in certain contexts and learning.
Having a dog that presents this type of behaviour can be emotionally exhausting and the guardian does not have to deal with this situation alone!
Suitable for dogs that bark, growl, lunge or bite.
Dogs that cannot cope with frustration, that suffer from stress, fear or are anxious.
Dogs that don't know how to be alone at home.
From the first day of the dog at home to adolescence, adulthood and the wonderful senior phase.

This is our story:
We adopted our dog a few months ago. She is four years old and wonderful! :) But our dog had a lot of traumas and fears that came from a harsh past. Those traumas and fears sometimes came out as reactive behavior towards other people.
Ana from Dogfactor helped us overcome the traumas and fears! She did a fantastic job with our dog and helped us help our dog.
I would highly recommend Dogfactor for anyone who has a dog that needs help dealing with fear, anxiety, or stress. Or anyone who has a dog, even with no problem behaviors.
Ana’s methods are not “one training fits all”. She created a relationship with our dog (and us - the owners) to understand his behavioural issues, routine and causes of reactivity. Based on the individual assessment (history, breed of our little fur ball) Ana told us what our dog needs are and that was the base for his training. We definitely see a great improvement that would not happen without Ana’s help. Definitely recommend Dog Factor to make you and your dog happy.
Optámos por recorrer à DogFactor para melhorar o comportamento ansioso da nossa cadela Amy e não podíamos ter escolhido melhor! A Inês é muito profissional, disponível e tem uma formação exemplar na área. Em poucas semanas começámos logo a ver resultados positivos. A Amy tornou-se muito menos receosa e já consegue passear sem ficar em pânico com os barulhos da rua. A partir de agora, temos a certeza que vai ser sempre a melhorar com as dicas imprescindíveis dadas pela Inês.
A Amy e os donos recomendam a todos a DogFactor! :)
Quando começamos a jornada com os treinos do Zeca estava receosa que pouca coisa fosse mudar, até porque o Zeca não conseguia ficar sozinho em casa sem ficar o tempo todo a uivar. A Inês deu-nos ferramentas e reeducou-nos, juntamente com o Zeca, reduziu a dependência que tinha da nossa presença e ainda tornou os passeios mais agradáveis.
É um serviço de excelência, onde a forma disponível e bem disposta com que a Inês trabalha ajuda no processo de treino.
Todos os cães deveriam ter acesso a estas ferramentas, pelo que recomendo sempre o Dog Factor para as obter
