Historic
The
history of the Centre Canin International is much
like the history of its owner, Mr. Guy Bertrand.
At the age of 20 years, Guy Bertrand began his journey in the world of dog training. In the time where dog training schools were unheard of, Guy Bertrand trained and assisted regularly at seminars in Germany, Belgium, United States and throughout the world.
Guy
Bertrand’s efforts have been recognized and awarded on several occasions.
He was the first man in Quebec to participate at the Schutzhund Canadian
Championship, the Schutzhund World Championship and the North American Working
Dog Championship.
.
It
is very rare to have succeeded a score of 98% at the FH (Tracking Competition)
organized by the German Club S.V. This discipline is practiced in 50
different countries around the world. Mr Bertrand was also on the
Canadian Team at the Schutzhund World Championship and ranked 2nd in the world
for Tracking in 1991. During his many years of involvement in the canin
world (since 1966), Mr. Bertrand for a duration of 5 years, was Training
Director for Eastern Canada, President of the South Shore Schutzhund Club for
a duration of 10 years, President of the Board for Eastern Canada, President
of the Canadian Association of Professional Services in Sport for Animals and
Trainer and Chief of the Demo Club for the Centre Canin International.
In 1974, in addition
to his involvement with the Schutzhund Associations, Mr. Bertrand opened
his first dog training school in Granby, Quebec called the Centre Canin
Anco. The purpose of the school was to educate students in dog
training, train dogs, breed dogs and sell puppies as well as trained dogs
to the public. |

We find the students
trained by Guy Bertrand for over 25 years working as trainers for Mira,
working for the television series "Dog
World" and as dog trainers in Seattle, Washington and in Los Angeles.
It is also Mr. Bertrand who trained the largest number of official dog
agitators who have the expertise to work in Working Dog Championship
Competitions.
Mr. Bertrand has
been a well know and reputable breeder of German Shepherds for 30 years.
Because of this accomplishment, he has a number of German Shepherds with the
Schutzhund title in Canada.

Guy Bertrand’s dogs are
also sought after by different law enforcement organizations such as the
Montreal Police Force and La Sûreté de Québec..
Since 1992, under the name of Le
Centre Canin International, Guy Bertrand opened a
dog training school on the South Shore of Montreal in Greenfield Park.
Thanks to the diverse dog
training courses and services offered, the
Centre Canin International is able to provide
harmonious integration of companion dogs with their owners as well as help
dog owners to better understand their animals in order to reduce the
occurrence of unfortunate experiences.
The Centre Canin International provides to a vast array of dog owners with the ability to enjoy their dogs.
