Welcome to Fluent Fido:

Bridging the gap between dogs and humans to create a bond based on trust, respect, and mutual understanding

At Fluent Fido, we’re passionate about fostering harmonious relationships between dogs and their owners. I am Maria, and I created Fluent Fido with the idea in mind to focus on effective communication to strengthening the bond between pets and humans. I run this with my dear husband Nick by my side and our beloved doghter, Soneca.

Our mission is simple: to bridge the communication gap between dogs and their owners. We believe that by unlocking the language of dogs and empowering owners with techniques and strategies that focus on positive reinforcement, pet owners will create positive and lasting change in their relationship with their pets.

With a focus on observation, interpretation, and holistic solutions, we’re dedicated to addressing behavioral issues and promoting a deeper understanding of our furry companions.

What we focus on

Unlocking the Canine Language

Our primary focus is on unlocking the language of dogs, enabling effective communication between pets and their owners. By teaching dog owners to observe and interpret their pet’s body language, we empower them to better understand their dog’s emotions and intentions. Dogs primarily communicate through non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body posture, and tail wagging, and by becoming attuned to these signals, owners can deepen their connection with their furry companions.

Practical Techniques for Positive Change

We provide practical and achievable techniques and strategies to address specific behavioral issues that may arise in day-to-day life. From positive reinforcement training to behavior modification exercises and environmental enrichment, we equip dog owners with the tools they need to foster positive behavior in their pets.

Real results with Positive reinforcement

5 key ideas we will work around are: reinforce the good behavior, redirect the unwanted behaviors, provide enrichment, provide a safe space, and set time aside to bond over with your pup. This is our starting formula for success.

Addressing Underlying Issues

Our approach goes beyond surface-level behavior modification. We delve deeper to identify and address underlying issues that may be contributing to problematic behavior, such as undiagnosed pain, trauma, or separation anxiety. By addressing these root causes, we can provide long-term solutions rather than quick fixes.

A Holistic Perspective

We understand that every dog is unique, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to behavior issues. That’s why we emphasize a holistic perspective, considering factors such as physical health, mental stimulation, and socialization opportunities. By taking an individualized approach to each dog, we can create tailored solutions that lead to lasting change.

Empowering Dog Owners

Our ultimate goal is to empower dog owners with the knowledge and tools needed to nurture a harmonious relationship with their pets. By implementing our methods consistently and patiently, owners can see significant improvements in their dog’s behavior over time. Together, we can create a stronger bond between dogs and their humans, built on trust, understanding, and love.
