Bons Chiens Private Dog Training - Beaumont, TX
Bons Chiens Dog Training provides private training within the comfort of your own home. Our packages are custom tailored to your needs. We use positive, force free training without the use of aversive tools and methods.
What does "Bons Chiens" mean? Well, in French, it simply translates to "good dogs"—and for those seeking top-notch dog training and cultivating well-mannered furry companions, Bons Chiens University stands as your ultimate destination. At Bons Chiens, the belief is firm: there are no bad dogs, only potential waiting to be nurtured.
After delving into Psychology with a focus on Applied Behavioral Analysis at McNeese State University, Britney Pitre honed her expertise during her tenure at PetSmart for over seven years, spending 3.5 of those years as a dedicated dog trainer. The journey continued as she took the helm as head dog trainer at PETCO in 2009 before establishing her own private dog-training business the following year—an endeavor that quickly soared. By February 2011, Bons Chiens Dog Training became a locally recognized name, born and bred within the community.
Today, Pitre stands as the sole certified professional dog trainer in Southwest Louisiana, one of only seven across the entire state. Her services encompass personalized training within the comfort of clients' homes and in her Lake Charles facility, featuring an array of group training classes. With a background in psychology from McNeese, her guiding principle remains "Train Without Pain." As the only 100 percent force-free and science-based trainer with a local facility in SWLA, Pitre's approach stands apart.
Bons Chiens' growth was remarkable, marking its 5th Anniversary in 2016 with expansion to two new locations. Embracing new additions to the team—Susan Young BCDT covering Southeast Texas and Dara Rogers CPDT-KA in Central Louisiana—Bons Chiens University aspires to propagate force-free training across South Louisiana and Southeast Texas.
Why opt for Bons Chiens? The methods deployed by Bon Chiens Dog Training, LLC hinge on principles rooted in Psychology, Applied Behavioral Analysis, and extensive real-world observations. Rather than relying solely on "Textbook Behavioral Methods," their specialty lies in a blended approach that educates both pet and owner. At Bons Chiens University, the emphasis rests on forging improved relationships and fostering stronger bonds between you, your pet, and your entire family.

Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers
When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.
For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Susan Young, ensures that your dog’s training is grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about a trainer’s credentials is one of the best ways to make a confident, informed choice.
