Welcome to the Conversation
Start the dialogue that transforms.
Olá from Portugal and welcome to the Conversation!
But why should you talk to me?
What my clients take from the sessions is mostly one thing:
the experience of getting to know themselves better.
They gain clarity about their thoughts, feelings and patterns, and explore their personality.
People come to me who doubt themselves, who cannot find inner stability, or have an attitude directed against themselves.
Interestingly, you can often see the effects of such behavior in the dog.
This is why dogs can sometimes help me to bring people back to themselves.
Our dogs often know us better than we know ourselves because they observe us.
This is the most important starting point for communication for me.
Sometimes they give me a sense of where the conversation needs to go.
I don’t help the dog directly. The dog itself demonstrates that I have worked with the person in the right way. And my clients confirm this.
Ani with Alva
Tara didn’t just help me communicate better with my dog, but also with the people around me. I would never have thought that working with her would bring so much change and hope into my life.
My dog used to attack everything that moved. With Tara’s help, I was able to recognize the underlying root conflicts behind this behavior. This not only improved my connection with my dog, but also with the people around me.
I am incredibly grateful to you, Tara, for doing what you love and for being your true self. I can feel in everything you do that you are fully devoted with all your heart.
How do we shape relationships?
The answer to this question shapes the quality of our relationships with dogs, with people, and with our lives.
My approach moves away from the classical idea of dog training. It questions the common way of thinking about dogs, behaviour, and training, and shifts the focus to what lies underneath: relationship and communication.
The more we try to shape relationship and communication through methods, strategies, and control, the further we move away from what it is actually about: expressing ourselves.
That is why communication is at the centre of my work.
Communication makes visible how we perceive ourselves and the other, how we enter into relationships, and how we respond to life. It shows which experiences, values, and patterns shape our behaviour and why certain conflicts keep repeating. This is exactly what dogs respond to. Their behavior makes existing communication and relationship dynamics visible.
Communication is much more than just words. It helps us understand ourselves, grow, and face challenges.
So, what role do dogs play here?
In my experience, problems with dogs arise from the way we communicate.
Dogs respond immediately to inconsistencies, gaps, or mistakes in our communication, and show this through their behaviour.
I also used to follow a certain method to get my dogs to behave the way I wanted. Fortunately, my dogs never really went along with it, and I realised that I was failing with them in the same ways as I did in human relationships.
The crucial insight was that it is neither simply the dog nor the human, but with the way we communicate.
I began to look more closely at my own communication and realised that my inner conflicts shape the dynamics of my relationships.
For me, communication is the key to self-efficacy and freedom.
Monthly
Workshop
Social Walk
We have one thing in common with dogs above all: we are social beings, and we connect through communication.
In dog training, this connection is lost. Methods and commands replace genuine interaction.
In this workshop, I help you regain clear and reliable communication- confident in your presence, clear in your expression, with both people and dogs.
Through conversations, I open a new perspective and show you how your dog perceives you.
For anyone with challenges with their dog, looking to better understand themselves and their dog, and strengthen their communication.
