Maite is a behavioral science enthusiast and an advocate for the humane treatment of animals; she proudly dedicates her spare time as a volunteer trainer for a local rescue. Her passion for animal welfare and relationship building inspired her to establish PUG, Guam's first and only provider of Force-Free, Positive Reinforcement Training. In 2021, Maite fell in love with and adopted her two foster boonies, Joni and Stevie. In an effort to better understand their needs, she has taught them to communicate using talking buttons. Their hilarious and poignant conversations are portrayed on social media's "Boonies in Paradise", and will leave you wondering "What would my dog say?".
