Ground rules

Rewards, not fear

Treats, play and voice. No choke chain, no prong collar, no electric collar: a dog learns better when it is not afraid.

You hold the lead

I coach you, not only the dog. Each session ends with two or three exercises to practise for five minutes a day.

One dog, one plan

The first session is an assessment: your home, your walks, your dog's history. The plan follows from there, not from a ready-made pack.

Honest about the limits

Pain can change behaviour. When a problem looks medical, I ask you to see your vet first, and we work together afterwards.

Joining the ground

01

A call

Fifteen minutes on the phone, free: your dog, what goes wrong, what you would like.

02

The assessment

A first session at home or on a walk, about 1 h 30, to watch your dog in its own world.

03

The sessions

Short sessions, spaced out so you have time to practise. At home, outside, or in a group on Saturday.

04

The follow-up

A written summary after each session, and you can send me a message or a short video between two visits.

Where I work

At your home and on your usual walks, within about 25 km of town. Further away, travel is quoted in advance.

Training ground: Chemin du Stade, behind the sports hall

On the ground

"Walks with Gaïa had become a fight. Four sessions later the lead is loose and I actually enjoy going out again."
Claire, and GaïaBorder collie, loose-lead walking
"Our rescue barked at every dog. No miracle promised, a clear plan instead. Six months on, we cross the park calmly."
Julien, and RoccoRescue dog, reactivity
"Puppy school on Saturdays: the children come too, and Moka now comes back when she is called, even at the beach."
