Training & behaviour consultations for dogs in Geneva
A holistic approach to help you better understand your dog’s behaviour
My name is Francesca. I am a certified dog trainer specialised in behaviour, and I created Happy Dogs® to support dog owners in Geneva and online.
My vision of dog training is rooted in a respectful approach based on understanding behaviour. My approach is holistic: rather than simply trying to correct a behaviour, the goal is to understand what is causing it and why it appears. This is the only way to create meaningful and lasting change over time.
What I offer
- Behaviour consultations
- Dog training support
- Preparation for the TMC (Test de Maîtrise et de Comportement)
- Preparation for welcoming a puppy or a first dog
- Shelter support work
In most situations, the process begins with a behavioural assessment. The only exception is TMC preparation, which starts directly on the training field. Whether you are facing specific behavioural difficulties or simply want to build strong foundations in training, this first session helps analyse your situation and establish a clear direction for the work ahead.
Before booking, please take a moment to read our general conditions.
It is completely normal to want a behaviour that bothers us to disappear. However, trying to suppress a behaviour without understanding its underlying cause often means overlooking the need, emotion, or discomfort the dog may be expressing.
If you have any questions before booking your behavioural assessment, or if you would simply like to prepare for the TMC, feel free to contact me.
Working together
Happy Dogs® is built around one core belief: when a dog feels understood, respected, and emotionally supported, they naturally regain more calm and balance — which also brings more peace to family life.
Every situation is unique. Through the behavioural assessment, we take the time to understand your dog, their environment, and your daily life in order to provide guidance tailored to your specific situation. The work then develops progressively over time through practical sessions that allow us to observe, adjust, and adapt the process according to your dog’s needs.
My educational goal is twofold: to support the dog, but also the human sharing their life. I will create a personalised programme adapted to both your reality and your companion’s individual needs.
Throughout this work together, I put all my skills and experience at your service to help build a solution that is effective, sustainable, and tailored to your situation. My professional expertise is based on the latest knowledge in canine behaviour and on continuous professional development. It integrates different areas that can influence behaviour, including ethology, health and pain, nutrition, environment, and emotional wellbeing.
