DOG TRAINING

They share our homes, our sofas, and sometimes even our beds: they are truly part of the family. Yet, despite all the love we give them, they often remain the family members we understand the least. Even with the best intentions, we are not always aware of their genuine needs, which can lead to misunderstandings and challenges in everyday life.

My training in ethology has led me, over the years, to deepen my understanding of the relationship that we, as humans, build and share with our dogs.

My goal is to improve both the relationship and everyday life by helping people better understand their dogs and live together in a more harmonious, confident, and mindful way.

It is this passion for the human–animal relationship that inspired my journey as a dog educator and puppy specialist, trained in the cognitive-relational approach.

What does it mean to work using a “cognitive-relational” approach?

It means placing the dog at the centre of the process, recognising them as an individual with their own needs, motivations, emotions, and unique perception of the world. Education is not simply about teaching behaviours; it is about supporting people in building a more balanced, respectful, and meaningful relationship with their dog, while learning to communicate more effectively and navigate everyday situations with greater understanding and confidence.

I offer dog education and support services for dogs of all ages:

PUPPIES

I support puppies and their families through educational programmes designed to build a balanced relationship from the very beginning, encourage healthy socialisation, and help prevent the most common management and training mistakes.

ADULT DOGS

I help you overcome common day-to-day challenges with your dog, such as leash pulling or jumping up on people, while supporting you in developing a more harmonious, confident, and balanced relationship together.

SENIOR DOGS

I support you in caring for your senior dog, helping you understand their changing needs and improve their quality of life through tailored care, guidance, and practical strategies.

At this time, I do not provide support for complex behavioural issues, including severe aggression, severe phobias, or hyperactivity. These situations require the expertise of highly specialised professionals, such as canine behaviour rehabilitation specialists and/or veterinary behaviourists, to ensure the most appropriate care and support for both the dog and their family.

SERVICES & PRICING

Dog training and education programmes are designed to support the dog–owner partnership in building a balanced, understandable, and functional relationship in everyday life. The goal is not to train the dog for a specific performance or outcome, but rather to foster clear communication by improving the management of environments, emotions, and real-life situations. Ultimately, the aim is to create a harmonious, mindful, and lasting coexistence, strengthening both the relationship and the mutual trust between dog and owner.

Every programme is individually designed, taking into account the family context and the dog’s specific personality, needs, and characteristics. Following a progressive and respectful approach, each step is adapted to the dog’s learning pace and developmental stage. Support can be provided for dogs of any age.

The journey unfolds through structured sessions, ongoing follow-up between appointments, and continuous adaptation of the programme to reflect the progress and needs of the dog–owner team, ensuring meaningful and lasting results.

My work focuses on practical aspects of daily life, including loose-leash walking, settling calmly at home, socialisation, reliable recall, and helping dogs navigate new situations with confidence. Throughout the process, particular attention is given to understanding the dog’s behaviour and supporting their emotional well-being, ensuring that learning takes place in a respectful and positive way.

PUPPIES (up to 6 months)

The Puppy Programme is dedicated to puppies during the most crucial and sensitive period of their development. It is at this stage that the foundations are laid for their future relationship with humans, their environment, and other animals, shaping the way they will interact with the world throughout their lives.

This stage of life is a critical period of learning and adaptation. The experiences, routines, and guidance provided during puppyhood play a key role in shaping a dog’s future emotional balance and behaviour. The programme therefore focuses on proactive, thoughtful, and progressive support, helping to prevent future challenges while laying the foundations for essential life skills.

The aim is to guide the puppy–owner partnership towards a calm and successful coexistence through carefully managed socialisation, the introduction of appropriate boundaries and routines, and a deeper understanding of the puppy’s evolving needs throughout their developmental journey.

A valuable investment in your puppy’s future, helping them grow into a balanced, confident dog who can approach the world with curiosity, security, and peace of mind.
