LISTEN  or DOWNLOAD the interview with Guilhermo Coelho.

Guilhermo Coelho is a dog trainer in Iowa. He is originally from Brazil and has lived in the US for 9 years.He started working with dogs out of passion and necessity. He once had a dog that was very aggressive and hurt a few people. In order to keep the dog, he had to learn the skills to train it and contain its aggressiveness. That's how he first got involved with dog training. That ended up becoming his passion and later on his profession.

He has trained hundreds of dogs ever since, and today he runs a small dog training course online in the Portuguese language. There are several similar courses here in the US, but none in Brazil. So he started offering his course in Portuguese in Brazil and around the world.

His website is  www.AdestradorAmigo.com

Brazil is the second market in the world in number of dogs and cats. It is estimated that there are approximately 29 million dogs and at least 13 million cats in homes. Add to this population million birds, rodents and ornamental fish pets and you will have what the Brazilian Institute of geography and statistics (IBGE) scored already at the beginning of the decade: approximately 60% of Brazilian the homes has some pet at home.
