EduZen’s Philosophy

Beyond education.

We can also give the courses in English. Please contact us.

Avant d’éduquer, il faut comprendre, et créer du lien. Apprendre viendra ensuite naturellement. En écoutant ton chien, tu développes une communication bi-directionnelle. C’est la clé de la relation de confiance. Chez EduZen, nous vous accompagnons, avec ton chien, en toute bienveillance.

Chez EduZen, nous prenons en compte tous les aspects de ton chien,
grâce à notre réseau de professionnels spécialistes.

Our courses in Lausanne

Any course have to start with an assessment we call « Bilan ». 

This assessment takes place in our office in Epalinges, it last about 2 hours. It is individual, with your dog and your family. 

During this assessment we will get to know each others, understand your unique story and adventure with your dog. We analyse together your needs, depending on your lifestyle, and discuss about your goals and what is the best to do for your dog now. 

We will prepare a program for the next weeks to come, with all the exercices and changes to do. Then we together choose what will be the best « parcours » for your dog and you. 

It costs 350.- and you can subscribe here :
