Description
Hi!
I'm Claudia. I'm 58 and i'm a dog guides trainer and instructor based in a small and cozy brazilian town named Castelo. Here, we, - me and my family of three that consists of myself, my husband and my daughter, plus all the amazing people that work alongway ourselves, - created a pet project with day care and hotel in the countryside of Castelo in which we were capable of putting together a comfortable space for training future working dogs, service dogs in general and dog guides for the visually impaired. Here we promote diverse contact between domestic animals, wild animals and people since our goal is to scatter our respect for the environment and the ecological community that surrounds us.
Here we also develop waste recycling projects.
I'm very passionate about dogs, crochet, yoga and ecology! I'm also interested in improving my english. We'd be glad to welcome you here. We, brazilians, have great food and great parties! :)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We'd love to introduce brazilian culture to our host since we're very passionate about our country's diversity and heterogeneity. At our place we grow typical plants, we enjoy gardening, fishing, swimming and, generally, we live alongside all kinds of animals.
We are currently developing some eco-conscious projects the travellers can join in with: we installed biodigestors in the property and our family promotes a selective waste collection program in the city.
Help
We'd love to host anyone from the working dogs training community and we'd be super excited to learn about any technique as long as it involves positive reinforcement since we're completely against violence.
