Four stages. One cycle.
Understand before taking action.
We learn about your dog, their motivation, environment, and your family’s goals. The professional assessment guides the work during training sessions.
One clear response at a time.
We teach through consistent communication, a marker that identifies the right response, and meaningful rewards. Guidance and interventions match the dog and their learning stage.
Take training into everyday life.
We work in different settings and gradually increase distance, duration, and distractions. Difficulty progresses as your dog develops.
Keep building, every day.
We practice consistently and adjust the level of help. You learn to maintain clear expectations and continue the work between sessions.
Consistent cues. Meaningful rewards. Thoughtful progression.
04 / Your trainer
Trainer and founder of Motion Dogs
Over 14 years of practice in obedience, behavior, and dog sports. The demands of sport develop precision, the ability to read a dog, and the skill to adapt training.
We bring that experience to family life: realistic goals, close support, and an owner who learns to guide their dog.
Your dog learns.
You learn together.
05 / Before you start
Fill out the form with your contact details and a little about your dog. Carlos will talk with you about your goals and arrange the next step: a course, Motion Dogs Class, or an individual session.
A session costs €55. In your first session, we get to know your dog and their context, carry out an assessment, and define training guidance. We then continue the work according to your goals and progress.
Each course has six main Saturday lessons, lasting 75 to 90 minutes, with up to five dogs. Tuesday evening Motion Dogs Practice is included throughout the six weeks. Basic Obedience also includes a Motion Dogs Preparation Session of around 60 minutes, for handlers only, before practical lessons with dogs begin.
Attendance is optional. Tuesdays are for practice, questions, and adjustments to exercises, complementing the Saturday lesson. Essential new course material is generally introduced in the main lessons.
Yes, if you and your dog have equivalent training and demonstrate the required foundations in a prior assessment. Completing Basic Obedience does not mean automatic progression either: we check that the next level is appropriate.
It is an ongoing training class at €69/month, with up to four monthly sessions of 60 to 90 minutes. It is for past students or previously assessed dog-and-handler teams with a suitable level. Content and difficulty adapt to the dogs attending.
In the Montijo–Moita–Barreiro area. Main course lessons take place on Saturdays, with Motion Dogs Practice on Tuesday evenings. The location, class schedule, and availability are confirmed when we speak.
