What you can expect
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.
Four steps
A call
Fifteen minutes on the phone, free: your dog, what goes wrong, what you would like.
The assessment
A first session at home or on a walk, about 1 h 30, to watch your dog in its own world.
The sessions
Short sessions, spaced out so you have time to practise. At home, outside, or in a group on Saturday.
The follow-up
A written summary after each session, and you can send me a message or a short video between two visits.
Group classes on the ground
Small groups, booked in advance. The first group class comes after an individual session, so we start on the right foot.

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