đ€ My journey with dogs
Passionate about dogs from a very young age, I truly began this wonderful journey at the age of 30 with the adoption of my very first companion. Like many people, I initially felt a little overwhelmed, but that experience became the starting point of a passion that has never left me.
Over the past 25 years, six dogs have shared my lifeâthree of whom are still by my side today. From my second dog, Bahia, I completely rethought my way of training in order not to repeat my beginnerâs mistakes. With my fourth dog, Ollie, I discovered modern canine educationâa true revelation.
Together with my wife, we completed the Canine Training Instructor Certification (MEC1) and the Puppy School program, allowing us to lead club classes for over two yearsâalways accompanied by Ollie, my constant partner. At the same time, Ollie and I explored many disciplines: agility, hoopers, tracking, herding, noseworkâŠ
Through several specialized courses and readings, I decided to become professionally certified and turn my passion into my profession. Today, Ollie still accompanies me during training sessions: she brings structure and helps me break down explanations, while Odin, imposing yet very calm, helps soothe the group. Each in their role, they are my trusted working partners.
Complicity & living in harmony with your dog
Living as a true team and in perfect harmony with your dog brings a unique and incomparable form of happiness. My goal is to help you build genuine complicity with your companionâfor their well-being, that of your household, and therefore your own.
Canine education is a set of techniques and knowledge aimed at achieving this harmony. Understanding the reasons behind anxiety, undesirable behaviors, or certain disorders requires behavioral analysis, which is the core of the behaviorist aspect of my work.
These are tools for living together with kindness: a dog that feels good in both mind and body. All the services I offer are built around this single guiding principle.

My approach
My approach is based on positive training: no brutality, no excessive authority. It relies on reinforcing desired behaviors and understanding canine body language.
Without realizing it, your dog communicates constantly! The issue is not that dogs donât speak âhuman,â but rather that humans donât always take the time to learn how to speak âdog.â Yet this is the key to a harmonious and lasting relationship.
âBetter understanding leads to better guidance.â

Holder of the ACACED certification, I pursue ongoing training in applied ethology, psychology, and canine communication. I regularly collaborate with veterinarians, trainers, and associations to promote respectful and effective practices in the service of animal welfare.
