Description

Hello — and thank you for being here.

My name is Maria, founder of DOGuidance — a structured canine behaviour and human leadership system designed to create real, lasting change.

I specialise in working with dogs and owners who are facing challenges such as reactivity, anxiety, disobedience, or behavioural patterns that feel overwhelming or difficult to resolve. More importantly, I work with people who are ready to approach this properly — not through quick fixes, but through a clear and guided process.

With over 16 years of hands-on experience and a multidisciplinary background in canine psychology, behavioural science, and human communication, my work goes beyond traditional dog training. Every case is approached as a system — where your dog’s emotional state, environment, and your leadership all play a role.

At DOGuidance, we don’t guess — we assess.

That’s why every journey begins with a structured evaluation. This allows us to:

* Understand your dog’s behavioural patterns and emotional responses
* Identify what is driving the current challenges
* Design a tailored, step-by-step programme aligned with your goals

From there, we guide you through a clear process that builds:

* Calm and focus
* Trust and communication
* Consistent, reliable behaviour

Support may include a combination of 1:1 structured sessions, hybrid guidance, and practical tools designed to help you implement the work effectively between sessions.

This approach is designed for owners who are ready to invest time, consistency, and commitment into creating meaningful change — and who want a professional to guide them through that process with clarity and structure.

If this resonates with you, the next step is simple.

Reach out, and I’ll guide you through what working together would look like for your specific situation.

You can also learn more about the approach here:

I look forward to supporting you and your dog.
Maria — DOGuidance

Maria has provided 3 sessions of puppy training for Morris- a now 5 month staffie- mainly covering basic obedience. She has a wealth of knowledge & advice, was generous with her time, answering our many questions, and genuinely cares about the puppy and helping create the best relationship between the puppy and their family.

I wish to say a huge thank you to Maria for lovingly guiding our 6 dogs (and us, the parents) towards the happy and peaceful coexistence, with many extremely useful practical tips, as well as plenty of insights into dog's philosophy and manners. Very grateful indeed. Irina

I want to say a big thank you to Maria for helping our cavapoochon Romeo to leave the house. The last couple of months have been difficult as he refused to go out. With Maria's help and guidance she successfully helped Romeo. We booked 10 sessions with Maria and this helped us in so many ways. Maria is a fantastic dog trainer and I would highly recommend her to anyone. I am happy to say our dog loves to go for walks now which is a big relief! Thank you so much Maria!!

Maria was great with our German Shepherd and he's much better behaved and controlled. Highly recommended.
