About this Pet Tech® member:
My name is Marta De Fex. I am a Pet consultant with a primary focus on Education. I am committed to bringing people and their pets together in a beneficial, healthy, and fulfilling experience!
I’m a lifelong animal lover. Education is my passion! I genuinely enjoy teaching and engaging with people of all ages and backgrounds.
My background is in Business Management and Healthcare. For many years, I have served the Houston community by working in the healthcare industry where I had the opportunity to lead several workshops and classes on improving the quality of life through nutrition and a healthier lifestyle.
In 2012 inspired by my love for dogs, I decided to dedicate my time and career to creating PAWSITIVE RELATIONS - an organization whose mission is to support the well-being and the relationship with our beloved pets.
I am a certified TTouch® practitioner for dogs and well as certified as a Canine Therapeutic Massage Therapist by the Rocky Mountain School of Animal Acupressure (*RMSAAM) in Colorado.
I have served as a volunteer at the Houston SPCA since 2012 – mainly in the large dogs’ area as well as teaching classes to different Scout troops about dog bite prevention and canine body language. I've also done presentations to local nonprofits, shelters, Churches, and private individuals on topics such as positive reinforcement training methods, calming signals, and understanding the “mind of the dog”, safety around children, and overall well-being for our pets.
I believe that a “Pawsitive Relation” is about understanding, trust, and respect. Likewise –trainings based on positive reinforcement methods creates a stronger bond between dog and owner, resulting in a more confident, happier, and better-behaved dog. Likewise, I'm a firm advocate for education as a key component to address the overpopulation of homeless animals and all the many problems that originate from it.
Being a Pet Tech Instructor is allowing me to empower Pet Parents and Pet Professionals with the skills and tools necessary to use in emergency situations and/or minimize the risk of injuries to their beloved animal companions.
