Positive home training for dogs in Biot and Sophia Antipolis: calm, structured support at your own pace.
Updated 17 October 2026 · Jordan Mathieu, dog trainer and behaviourist
In short: Biot is part of my main working area. I come to your home for a behavioural assessment of about 2 hours (€130, free with a package), then sessions of about 1 hour at €80. Packages start at €490 for 5 sessions. Message me on WhatsApp to set a date.
Biot means a village, residential neighbourhoods, and the closeness of Sophia Antipolis and the river Brague: dogs meet a lot of different situations through the day. My role is to help you understand your dog and give it clear reference points, without force or harshness.
I start with a full behavioural assessment at your home (about 2 hours): I observe your dog in its environment, we have a long discussion, and you receive personalised advice you can apply immediately. The assessment is free with any package.
Then come sessions of about one hour, at home and outdoors, always with you present. The exercises are summarised in your client area (PDF sheets and videos) so you can repeat them on your own between sessions. If you wish, you can also join the group walks and workshops, which are included with the packages.
Every programme follows the same idea: a relationship of trust, consistency and clear boundaries, never force.

My guides to parks and dog areas in the 06 and to dog beaches mention the Brague path between Valbonne and Biot, along the river, as a walk that works with a dog.
Nearby, between Antibes and Villeneuve-Loubet: 102 hectares of meadows, oak woods and a pond. Lead compulsory; dogs not allowed in the equipped areas.
