About me

 

Hello, I’m Luciana
I’m a Canine Behaviour Consultant, and my work is all about helping dogs and their people build a more harmonious relationship—one based on mutual understanding.

My Journey with Thor

My journey started with Thor, my own dog.

His unique challenges led me far beyond traditional training and sparked a deep interest in areas such as applied ethology and science-based approaches to behaviour.

Supporting Thor through his fear and reactivity didn’t just shape my career—it inspired a lifelong mission: to understand what truly helps dogs live with balance, confidence, and wellbeing.

Why This Work Matters to Me

Helping dogs feel safe, understood, and connected to their families means far more to me than just a job—it’s personal.

I know how it feels to be overwhelmed, to spend months—or even years—unsure of what to do or who to trust, surrounded by conflicting advice and methods.

That’s why I’m committed to offering clear, compassionate, and effective guidance that genuinely improves everyday life.

Watching a once-anxious dog learn to trust, relax, and show their true personality beside someone who loves them—that’s what keeps me going.

Qualifications and Approach

I’m certified in Family Dog Mediation®, an approach that sees the dog as a whole being—considering their emotions, genetics, life experiences, environment, and daily routine.

I also hold a degree in Nutrition (BSc in Dietetics), which allows me to take a holistic view of behaviour, health, and diet.

I believe that behaviour and health go hand in hand—and that meaningful change happens when we support the whole dog, not just manage the symptoms.

How I Can Support You

My approach is empathetic, practical, and always focused on the connection between you and your dog.

I help you understand the why behind the behaviour, so we can find realistic and sustainable solutions together.

What drives me is making day-to-day life easier and more enjoyable for both ends of the lead.

Whether it’s reactivity, anxiety, or the everyday struggles of dog ownership, I’m here to guide you with clarity and evidence-based strategies.

I work entirely online, so support is always accessible—wherever you are.
