Written by the company

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. Do you want to know more? Feel free to book a 15-minute conversation with me! Please note I speak fluent Spanish, English, and Portuguese – Italian is on the way

Helping Dolly with seperation anxiety

We've been working with Maria since we adopted our cocker spaniel Dolly. She came from a home with four dogs and has initially struggled to be left alone for even the shortest period of time.

Maria is clearly very knowledgeable and has worked closely with us to build Dolly's confidence and give us the tools to build on what we have achieved so far.

Her friendly and structured approach has made it a pleasure to work with her and we would highly recommend her services.

Excellent Dogcare

I was on holiday near Mailand and decided to bring my rescue puppy to Maria and her husband. My puppy has some issues due to being a rescue and Maria handeled her super. She also gave me really good tips which I am now trying to do at home. She also made the cutest pictures of my dog. I felt very relaxed leaving my puppy with her, so I was able to enjoy my weekend without any worries.

Maria is very Passionate and Knowledgeable

Maria is very passionate, knowledgeable and understanding in everything she does. I have a Romanian rescue who is very reactive and a very sensitive boy.

Maria has really helped me understand what is going through his mind in certain situations and how I can help him be more confident.

If you want help understanding your furry friends then defiantly contact Fluent Fido!

Amazing service

María is simply the best! We adopted our chihuahua Lola and she had few issues that we needed to work on and María was the best support ever. I was very worried and with her knowledge and advice things started to get much better. Not only us but also Lola is much happier now.

The first few weeks of a new home

Reggie our sprocker came to us from a five dog household who couldn’t give him the time he needed. Maria was fantastic in offering simple steps to help him and us to adjust. Maria’s professionalism and understanding coupled with her calm and friendly approach gave us all the confidence to put the steps into practice. Reggie is settling well and Maria helped us to do that

We recently rescued a 5 year old collie…

We recently rescued a 5 year old collie and were really struggling to cope in the first few weeks. Maria was a Godsend! She was there for us with support, advice and regular check ins when we felt like it had all been a big mistake. Her advice gave us the confidence and emotional support to keep going with a difficult situation. I am very glad to say our dog is making huge improvements everyday and we are now just loving being dog owners! Thanks Maria for that initial support and encouragement which meant so much and gave us the confidence we needed.

Great dog training and support

Maria offered brilliant, tailored help for our sensitive rescue dog, helping him settle into city life and build his frustration tolerance. We particularly appreciated her proactive check-ins with us, her specific protocol suggestions, and the way she celebrated all the small victories with us. She also spotted how our dog’s stomach issues were affecting his behaviour and supported us while we were treating them with our vets. Maria has a calm, compassionate and personalised approach; we’d highly recommend her.

practical advice and effective ways to correct those everyday behavioral challenges

Maria is incredibly knowledgeable and always approachable, ready to answer any questions that come up. She has an amazing ability to strengthen the bond between pets and their owners, offering practical advice and effective ways to correct those everyday behavioral challenges dogs often have.

What truly sets her apart is her ability to help dogs become well-behaved and enjoyable to be around—whether at home or in social settings. Maria’s approach is rooted in love and understanding, and she teaches you how to educate your dog in a way that’s both kind and effective. If you want a happier, more balanced relationship with your dog, Maria is the one to call!
