COURSES AND TRAINING

You will find here the different training I had in the animal area, by chronological order.

It is essential for a behaviorist or a dog trainer to regularly update and increase their knowledge, by taking training courses, on-site or online. I make sure to train with professionals who are well-known in the dog or animal areas and who use positive methods.
