About Irene

My passion for dogs started when I was a child.  I started to get interested in dog behavior when I was 10 years old, with a preference for gentle training methods, which were very rare at that moment. 

   I use to take car of my
   friends  and neighbors' dogs,
   before I could get my own
   dog when I was 15.         

So as to give the best service to my human and doggy clients, I keep on learning with ethologs, coaches, trainers and dog behavior specialists, reknowned in France or worldwide, for their skills.
