I'm originally from France but have been here in Texas for 24 years. My love and passion for animals (and especially for dogs) brought me to the world of dog training. I graduated from the Triple Crown School of Dog Training (now called Starmark Academy) in 2010. Since that time, I've worked full time as a professional dog trainer, establishing Catfordogs and training hundreds of dogs of virtually every breed. I've continued my professional education by attending seminars and clinics on a regular basis.

I titled my German Shepherd Dali in IPO3 (formerly called Shutzhund and now IGP). I’m now starting a new challenge with my Dutch Shepherd Tango in IGP. It’s a sport with three phases: Tracking, Obedience and Protection. This is a dog sport which requires discipline, precision, hard work, clear communication and a strong bond between dog and handler.Competing in a sport with high level of precision is important to stay in contact with the best handlers in the world to keep learning and improving. Participating in the sport keeps me abreast of the evolution of dog training.
