Whatever brings you here, everything begins with a full assessment. That is the one step there is no way around; what follows depends on what the assessment turns up, and is decided together.
Dogs, people, vehicles… He barks, pulls, freezes, flees or lunges, and every walk feels like treading on eggshells. Underneath the behaviour there is always a cause: something learned, fear, pain, frustration… That is exactly where my work starts: understanding the cause before touching the symptom.
See this speciality →Shelters, laboratories, abuse, sensory deprivation, dogs imported from abroad… A difficult past is not a life sentence, but it does change the starting point: some have never seen a street, a staircase, a hand reaching towards them without danger. It is for the protocol to adapt to the dog, not the other way round.
See this speciality →The dog who goes wild the moment a bowl moves, the one who refuses to eat, the one who swallows his meal in fifteen seconds, the one who freezes in front of his dish: same ground, opposite shapes. Uncommon ground, and rarely recognised for what it is.
See this speciality →These figures are the same for everyone. They do not move with the person, nor with how hard the case is assumed to be. They are published here because you are entitled to know what you are getting into before you speak to me.
Fifteen minutes online. You talk, I listen, I tell you how I can help.
90 minutes online. A detailed questionnaire is sent beforehand, so the case is prepared before we even speak. You leave with a written reading of the situation, a plan built for your dog, and access to your own online space.
Sessions à la carte, with no follow-up in between.
Availability five days a week · unlimited questions · unlimited written material · a full report after each session · protocol adjustments made on the spot, without waiting for the next appointment · a session roughly every two weeks, adjusted to what the dog needs · assessment included.
Ongoing support is not counted in appointments. What you are choosing is three months during which you are never alone in front of a situation you do not know how to handle.
Everyone goes through the assessment; it is the one compulsory step. What comes next depends on what it showed: sometimes three months of ongoing support, sometimes a few one-off sessions, sometimes a format built to measure, sometimes nothing at all. I offer what suits this dog and this family, never a format decided in advance.
Everything is done online, in French or in English. In-person work exists around Toulouse, only as part of joint work with a vet. See how it works.
With the assessment, in every case. Ninety minutes online going back through your dog’s history, observing, and working out what he is really expressing. You leave with a written reading of the situation and a written plan.
Nobody can tell you seriously what your dog needs before that step, and selling three months of support to someone whose dog was mainly in pain somewhere helps no one.
That depends entirely on what comes out of it. Some cases resolve with the written plan and a few changes to daily life. Others need work over time, because they touch on behaviour that has been in place for years. We talk it through at the end of the assessment, once we know.
Nobody can promise that honestly before the assessment, and be wary of anyone who puts a timeframe on it over the phone. A dog who has been reactive for six months and a dog who spent ten years on a chain are not on the same timescale.
What I can say: emotional work is slower than correcting a symptom. It also holds for a great deal longer.
Yes, and sometimes better than in person. A dog observed at home, with no stranger in the room, behaves the way he actually behaves, whereas a professional walking in alters the very situation he came to observe.
In-person work is reserved for cases followed jointly with a vet.
A fifteen-minute call, free, no commitment. You tell me what is going on, I tell you what I make of it and how I can help, concretely. You will know what the next step would look like before spending a single euro.
