Aliana Prisca has loved animals for as long as she can remember. Growing up with dogs sparked a lifelong appreciation for the companionship and joy they bring, as well as a deep respect for their natural needs. Later, Aliana shared her home with two much-loved dachshunds who, as she often jokes, ended up owning her. Caring for them gave her first-hand experience of the heartwarming moments and the challenges that call for patience and a gentle approach.

Following their loss, Aliana began working as a dog boarder, welcoming a wide variety of breeds into her home. This experience deepened her understanding of individual needs, while highlighting how often owners search for trustworthy guidance. Her book, The Handy Guide to Being a Dog Owner, was created to offer exactly that.

Rooted in real-life experience and a mindful approach, it provides practical advice to support dogs and owners through every stage of life. With an emphasis on wellbeing and strong human–animal bonds, Aliana’s work reflects a grounded approach to raising happy, healthy dogs.
