You love him with everything you have, but the life you pictured together isn't here yet?
Less managing. More living.
A dog who knows what to do when nobody tells him anything.
Where do we start? →Private dog coaching.
For your dog and you, for your everyday life.
At home, in town, out on walks.
In-home dog trainer · Buggingen & Markgräflerland · EN / DE / FR
At Epic Dog we prepare teams for everyday life. Your goals are what set the training ground: at home, out walking, in town, on a group walk, mid-adventure… and above all in whatever comes up unplanned. We start from who you are today and build the team you dream of becoming. Together.
Six Teams.
One shared want: to live something together.
01
I want to take it up a level
The basics are there. Now... we get to actually start living. Because we didn't do all of that just for a perfect sit. Time for adventures, challenges, experiences, memories... and for the big question: how far can the bond between you go?
02
I want to find his superpower
Every dog has at least one talent. An instinct, a sensitivity, or a way of exploring the world that is entirely his own. So let's go and find what really lights him up. Here, he's the star.
03
Finding our confidence again
After a rough stretch, you want the everyday with your dog to feel good again. Calmer walks, less tension, more flow… Small wins at a time, your team gets its confidence back. Because underneath it all, Epic Dog is mostly a huge happiness booster.
04
The owner who has tried everything
Dog schools, obedience classes, advice that contradicts itself, endless scrolling… You've tried a bit of everything, and none of it really looked like the two of you. Then one day you land on Epic Dog... and you realise your slightly outside-the-box view of it actually exists.
05
I want to keep him sharp
Getting older doesn't mean getting boring 😄 Like us, dogs need to keep exploring, thinking, playing and being challenged mentally to stay well in their bodies and their heads. So we simply adapt. Because really… you already have it all: a strong bond, a dog who just works. There are surely still adventures you've been picturing with him. So… shall we?
06
The future owner doing it right
You might not even have a dog yet… but you already want every card in your favour to build the happiest life possible together. You're reading, you're looking for an approach that actually speaks to you. Because you don't want to “just have a dog”. You want to build a real team. A family.
Recognised yourself in one of those teams? Here is what it looks like on the ground.
The basics and everyday life.
Tony and Nelly barking every time the doorbell goes.
Aska jumping up at guests and at people in the street.
Sam was 2 months old: Lina and I walked him through his first look at the world.
Getting everywhere together.
Neelo, getting his confidence back in the bike trailer after a bad experience.
It might be your dog who travels badly in the car.
Or Finn, who took the train for the first time: we are laying the ground for Karin's next holiday.
Challenges made to measure.
Like Élise, who works at a stable: she is teaching Uno to find the shoes the horses lose out in the field.
From everyday hacks to whatever is standing between you and your dreams: if it matters to the two of you, it is a training ground.

You outdoors with your dog
An honest, straight look
Epic Dog is Laure and Lina.
Lina, my shelter dog, was fearful and a hunter. I asked for help, I looked around me: nobody had the answers for my dog specifically. So I understood it was going to be on me to find them. I went to the specialists wherever they were, one training after another, hundreds of hours in the field, until I had built what we were missing.
That is exactly what my job as a coach is: giving you what I wish I had found back then. A team who loves their everyday life. Not a dog who is merely trained: an adventure partner you understand, and who understands you. And if one day I don't know, I point you to the right person. I don't want you losing the time I lost.

Everything you are wondering,
before you even ask.
Does my dog need to be trained and obedient already?
+
You are already ready. We simply start from wherever you are today. Puppy, dog short on confidence, reactive or over the top, the goal stays the same: building a team that can do more things together, at your own pace.
What is your approach?
+
Tailor-made, built around your team and the way you live. A modern approach, based on reading the dog and on positive reinforcement. You move at your dog's pace, you pay per session, and you stop whenever you want. What you get here is an ear, a pair of eyes and some tools. And zero lecturing.
How many sessions will I need?
+
It depends on your team and on your goals. Some people come to unblock one specific thing in a handful of sessions. And then, often… they stay. Because once a team finds its balance, a lot of people discover everything they can finally do with their dog: adventures, dog sports, outdoor activities, group walks, new challenges… At Epic Dog we don't stop at "training". We build a whole way of living with your dog. And sometimes what was meant to be "a few sessions"… turns into an adventure, a community, and a new way of living with your dog.
Where exactly do you work?
+
I am based in Buggingen, where France, Germany and Switzerland meet, and I travel within roughly 60 km, on the German side. Coming from Alsace or the Basel area? You are very welcome: I coach in English, German and French. Further afield, let's talk about it.
Do you also coach remotely?
+
Yes, through Epic Dog Lifestyle, my online course. I work with you remotely too, to change your everyday life with your dog… even hundreds of kilometres away.
How do I pay?
+
Online at the moment you book, by card via Stripe. Your invoice arrives by email.
What if I have to cancel?
+
Life happens 😉 Just let me know at least 48 hours ahead. After that the session is still charged… unless another team can take the slot.
Dare big.
Where do we start?
Get in touch. We take 30 minutes on the phone or over a coffee. Free. No commitment. No pressure. No sales talk. If it clicks between us, we start the adventure together. If it doesn't, I'll point you towards the kind of support that suits you better.
