Jean is the founder and principal instructor of The Academy for Dog Trainers.  The Academy is celebrating its twentieth anniversary in 2019.  She is a four-time winner of The Dog Writers’ Association of America’s Maxwell Award.  In 2017, Jean was recruited to create Dog Training 101 for The Great Courses.

Born in Montreal, Canada, Jean founded the Montreal Flyball Association, and Renaissance Dog Training, the first positive reinforcement-based school, and counseling service in the province.  Her own dogs and dogs she has trained have earned numerous titles and wins in a variety of dog sports, including OTCh, TDX, HIT and FDCh.  While a student, she worked as an adoption counselor at the Montreal SPCA and later served on its Board of Directors.  Before founding The Academy, Jean did exclusively referral aggression cases for six years.  She lives in Oakland, California, with her dog, Brian, adopted in 2015.

    Jean’s Dog Training 101 course is an excellent resource for pet owners. Hope she does another – perhaps Dog Training 201?

    Amazing. Dog Training 101 is great. My pup has made leaps and bounds in the training compared with the usual beginner dog training classes. She is happy, engaged and her recall so far is 100%. Hopefully a Dog Training 201 is coming soon.
