Although there are nuances between these three terms, my working method embraces all of them. It is based on the dog’s intrinsic motivation and on understanding the emotions underlying their behaviour.
This approach is considered ethical because it avoids the use of coercive tools — force or physical harm — and is grounded in morally fair treatment of the animal. It is also respectful, as it takes into account the dog’s needs — from the most basic to the most complex — beyond the simple pursuit of obedience.
Experience, scientific knowledge, continuous training in ethology and careful observation are essential pillars of this method.
With El Jardín Azul, I support multispecies families in finding solutions that benefit both the animal’s well‑being and that of their caregivers. My purpose is to help them build a healthier relationship, based on a deeper understanding of their dog, more effective communication and a closer, fairer and happier bond.
