VALLEY CALDERONI
Valley Calderoni was born in the busy Mexico city. Since she was little she was in love with nature, constantly watching the Discovery Channel, reading magazines, the animal encyclopaedia, and taking care and protecting the random animals she would find. Valley began her career with animals as a commercial artist, fundraiser and public speaker for "Habitat", an organisation dedicated to the Preservation and Conservation of animals in the Sierra Madre mountain range. Upon moving to Canada Valley volunteered at various animal organisations where her passion for helping animals took her on the path of working with dogs. Valley was determined to save dogs from euthanasia by helping people understand dog psychology to encourage the correct communication and education of dogs to solve behavioural challenges. She founded Canine Valley in Squamish BC, Canada to aid in this mission. Successfully re-educating dogs Valley created the program Dog Training – A Guide to Lasting Relationships which was released on DVD in December of 2005. Through her journey of educating dogs, Valley soon realised that dogs are the reflection of people emotions, frustrations, and intentions and that in order to really help dogs and other animals, people must be attended to first. Valley developed a program designed to help people achieve a state of appreciation, a sense of unity and connectedness, empowerment and to embrace the responsibility of using one's abilities, gifts and mind to create the life one desires to live. Valley’s program involves working with dogs, the immersion in nature through Shinrin-yoku, and state of the art modalities and technologies to create Intentions and clear away emotional triggers. Valley graduated with honours from the Obedience Instructor Training Program at the Animal Behaviour College where she specialised in Canine Behaviour Modification. She is certified by the Private Post Secondary Education Commission of British Columbia as a Professional Dog Trainer and Behaviour Consultant. She is a Level VI member of the Global Information Network, a certified Professional Public Speaker, an Intention Coach, a published author, a student of Budo and a guide to those who are ready to embrace in a holistic path to Self-Mastery and Dog Communication. |
MARIEKE LELIVELD

Her deep love for the World and everything living on it made Marieke follow her heart. With many years of education, she began working in the veterinary field where she gained a lot of experience and knowledge about animals. She, however, realised that there was a lot more needed in order to really heal an animal or a person. It was this that drove her to find alternative solutions for the challenges faced by people and their pets. She began a long journey of education and became a Certified Animal Health Technician, Quantum-Touch Practitioner, Massage Therapist, and Animal Communicator. The combination of these modalities allowed Marieke to create the Conscious Touch system. The Conscious Touch system is a holistic method of empowering a person or an animal to engage in self-healing. It is a jump start to the bodies own ability to remain healthy and strong.

A dog that has behavioural problems benefits tremendously when he learns to look for guidance from many people. He then begins to respect everyone behind the leash. This creates trust, the feeling of safety, and the understanding that all his needs will be met with consistency and kindness. It is only with our community's help that this is possible. Canine Valley would like to thank all the beautiful people that have invested so many hours volunteering to help our program dogs. Without your assistance, we would not be here right now. There is an absolute power in giving.
If you would like to help dogs become balanced, relaxed and happy contact us. We always welcome the opportunity to share the magic of dogs and what they can actually do in your life. You will be plesantly surprised.
