At Canitrainer38 and Terroir Canin, one simple belief: a balanced dog requires a complete approach — training, environment and nutrition. Based in Vignieu, we work with dogs and their owners every day, drawing on observation, field experience and common sense.
A couple, two complementary specialities. He trains and structures, she watches over well-being and comfort. Together, they treat every dog as part of their own family.
Twenty years on the field. Christophe founded Canitrainer38 around one simple belief: a balanced dog comes from a healthy environment, adapted training and quality food.
Christophe's wife and his partner in the project. Estelle specialises in canine well-being. She watches over the comfort, the pace, and the emotional balance of every boarder day in, day out.
Our edge doesn't come from coursework alone. It comes from daily life with dogs. Every week, we welcome dogs into our family-scale boarding, into training programmes and into behavioural follow-up.
That's how we get a real-world feel for behavioural issues, digestive trouble, the impact of food, and the actual needs of dogs based on their profile.
Unlike a typical setup, we don't separate training, boarding and nutrition. We work on the three pillars that make a balanced dog.
We help improve emotional regulation, focus, and the bond with the owner.
Our family boarding offers a calm setting, balanced socialisation and real-life observation.
A French kibble selection made in Auvergne, picked for digestibility, ingredient quality and impact on behaviour.
With Terroir Canin we wanted to push further: offer food that's French, local and transparent.
We're not here to sell. We're here to recommend the right solution for each dog.
Plenty of brands sell kibble, accessories or services. Very few combine training, boarding and nutrition under one roof.
That complete approach is what makes the difference — and what lets us recommend solutions that are genuinely consistent.
Our priority isn't to sell. It's to bring solutions that fit each dog.
We mainly work with clients around our boarding facility in Vignieu. Our goal: become a local reference for canine well-being.
Composition, origin, manufacturing. Everything stated, everything verifiable.
If a product isn't right for your dog, we'll tell you.
Every recipe is tested in our boarding facility before it gets listed.
The dog comes first, commerce comes second. Always.
