Mafalda Amaro

I am a fascinated-by-dogs person who has received Nordic Education Centre for Ethical Dog Training's
Certificate of Professional Ethical Dog Trainer by
The Calming Signals Approach® and
The Caring Human Code®.
Currently enrolled in this school to obtain my
diploma as a dog behaviour specialist and following a
course by Dr. Amber Batson on Juvenile Dog Behaviour.

Following ethical force-free training methods, science based communication and enriched environments, I am set to help dogs and their caregivers achieve harmony through understanding and respect.

Up to recently, I've also been a regular volunteer at the local shelter,
where I focused on reducing stress levels and providing dogs with time for choice,
exploration and learning to cope with their surroundings.

This is a journey to be continued, a life dream!
I’m ready to share what I’ve learnt so far
and invite you to discover fascinating details
that people often miss and make the whole difference for the better.

These are some of the classes I completed in 2025:

  • Monica Allaire-McMahon's Masterclass:
    How Pain or Discomfort May Be Affecting your Dog

  • Kateryna Volkova's Masterclass:


    The Shake Off Investigation

Participating in 2025's Advanced Annual Online Summit Beyond Training:
Understanding the Dog Inside and Out
was a very enlightening experience. A great pleasure to learn from the speakers:

Dr. Amber Batson, Understand Animals. UK:
The Emotional Brain: How Stress and the Body Interact

Julia Robertson, Galen Myotherapy, UK:
The Body Talks: Using the Galen Comfort Scale to Understand Behaviour

My wish is to be continuously learning, about many things, but specially about dogs ;)
