I work with people who love their dogs the way one loves a friend.
I want to share my know-how and devote my full attention to these individuals and help them strengthen this relationship-friendship.
I put myself on the side of the dog and its needs: physical, mental and emotional. I believe that it's not the dog that must adapt to people, but the dog owners who must learn to respect and understand their dogs in order to build a strong and lasting friendship.
A decisive moment in my education was my encounter with Turid Rugaas, who taught me that to work properly and live in harmony with dogs, we need both "our heads and our hearts." These five words sum up very nicely the true meaning of my work.
Well-being
The dog's well-being is fundamental for me, and I strive to limit insofar as possible the stress a dog undergoes. I try to help each individual express his or her abilities to the fullest. For this reason, I prefer to work individually with dogs and their owners, and I create small groups for classes covering specific topics.
Learning
"I would like my dog to learn to "..." is the typical approach of people bringing their dogs to school. But this approach does not work.
My teaching focuses especially on "the other end of the leash," which is to say, on you, the dog owner. |
