Who am I?

Yvette de Goffau-Bouwens, Dutch but living in France. Passionate about working with dogs since a young age.
My love for dogs started at 6 years old, when working in the dog *kennel* of my aunt for 5 weeks. It grew into a passion of mine. I was the one taking out the dogs, playing with them and giving them food. After marriage we got our first dog Chanel (mix Yorkshire terrier / Maltese) that I dressed up to GG3 level. Of course I recieved ridicule until they saw me at work with the small monster, who actually was better than a lot of bigger dogs. Later I got two other mixed breeds before getting our Beauceron and moving to France.
Of course, these dogs got dressed too. Sadly, then the time arrived we were too busy with the renovation and operation of our Chambre d'Hotes in the Pyrenees to really dedicate the time to our dog that it needed. At the end tho, I decided to really make my passion my job. Vyra and Ryva, our 2 german shepards (one long-haired and one short haired) had the work in their blood, and got me motivated to work on it too.
And ready to learn more in the future to transmit my knownledge in nose work to many more pets and owners in the pyrenees!
So get inspired to do a proof lesson or just have a look at our methodology right now.
