A science based approach to dog training
Camille Nguyen created her dog training school with the idea of dedicating her life to understanding dogs and their behavior. With many years of experience and continuing education, she keeps up to date of the latest advances in behavioral science and techniques. Camille’s only concerns are always and only the dog needs: making choices, taking decisions, communicating and exchanging.
Positive reinforcement
We work with methods based on positive reinforcement. We use tools such as clicker, food, play, etc. But beyond the techniques used, we make it a point of honor that dogs and humans feel respected, understood and at ease emotionally and physically.
Empowerment
At our school, the empowerment of dogs and the human is a fundamental value. For us, it is absolutely essential that dogs and humans remain actors in their learning and integrate information in the most appropriate manner and pace for them. Education should not be a painful process but instead a choice and decision of the learner, whether he is walking on two legs or four.
Expertise
Camille Nguyen’s expertise is recognized internationally. She works weekly with regular dog owners but also travel in France, Belgium and Switzerland to teach clicker training, fitness and treibball courses to professional dog trainers. She also learns with the best behavior specialists and trainers from all over the world such as Dr Susan Friedman, Kay Laurence, Chirag Patel, Sam Turner, Lori Stevens, Debbie Gross Torraca, etc.

“I’m passionate about teaching, to dogs of course but also to humans. Whatever the activity, my goal is always to teach the human first how to interact well with their dog so that they strengthen their bond and gain autonomy"- Camille
Her dogs
Cerise (Cherry in french) - 13 yo english cocker spaniel : Cerise has been my discdog partner for years. She is now retired and enjoys sleeping on the couch (even though she is supposedly not allowed to) and running like a mad dog on a mission in the forest! She the sweetest lady and works from time to time with disabled children to teach them about dogs. 🌈 Cerise passed away this year at the marvelous age of 13. I dedicated to her this webcomic created by Notidee and me. 🌈
Miette (Crumb in french) - 10 yo nova scotia duck tolling retriever : Miette is my go to girl! She always on board to run and agility course, play treibball or to work out on peanuts and stuff!
Nova - 2 yo whippet x rough collie : Nova is the joy and the clown of the house. Always ready to carry around our slippers, hunt field mice by jumping at them like a fox, and hopefully be my new discdog partner in the near future.
