Léa
Chevalier
CDBC · IAABC · SAPT · Dynamic Dog Practitioner
A qualified dog behaviour consultant whose journey began with her own dog, Croquette. Léa works through fear- and force-free, ethical methods rooted in science, empathy and consent — helping dogs and their humans build calmer, more connected relationships.
Science, empathy & consent
Léa's journey into canine behaviour began with her own dog, Croquette — a dog whose emotional depth and sensitivity inspired Léa to develop a deep passion for helping dogs through ethical, evidence-based methods.
She has worked with a wide range of dogs and behaviour issues, from complex fear-based cases to everyday struggles in multi-dog households. Her experience includes supporting rescue dogs, sensitive adolescents, and overwhelmed guardians — always with a focus on emotional wellbeing and clear, compassionate guidance.
Léa has a strong interest in the connection between pain and behaviour and is a certified Dynamic Dog Practitioner, trained to assess gait and posture and work alongside vets to identify potential physical issues contributing to behaviour change.
She is also a certified Separation Anxiety Pro Trainer, offering structured, humane support for dogs struggling to cope with alone time — including a dedicated virtual programme.
