Bart Boudens | K9 Training Center

Bart Boudens was already working for NV Best Friends, the Weckhuyzen family's dog and cat pension, when Johan noticed how quickly Bart was evolving.

Bart was really bitten by the dog bug, just like his wife by the way, and spends a lot of his free time on the training field in the competition sport Mondioring. He is very successful with his positively trained Olaf Van De Duvetorre. Bart is a gifted clicker trainer and attacker.

When Johan offered him the chance to move from the guesthouse to his security company K9 Detection Belgium, Bart didn't hesitate for a second and became an explosives dog handler at the airports of Brussels and Ostend.

Bart's hunger for knowledge and improvement made Johan ask him, after a few years of practice, to become a trainer at the K9 Training Centre.

Meanwhile Bart also thinks along with Johan about the breeding plans of Johan's breeding farm 'Van De Duvetorre'. Thanks to Johan's international contacts with handlers and trainers all over the world, Bart also got the chance to specialise even more.

That is why we are not short of pride in the beautiful evolution that Bart has made into the strong and unique trainer he is today.

Bart's dogs are also used as stud dogs:

Johan est une véritable encyclopédie ambulante lorsqu'il s'agit des pedigrees des bergers malinois. Grâce à ses années d'expérience en tant qu'éleveur de haut niveau, son rôle au sein du FMBB, en tant que retraité, en tant qu'entraîneur, ... on peut faire aveuglément confiance à quelqu'un qui connaît son métier. La qualité avant la quantité.

The K9 Training Center is truly unique. I have seen many training centers all over the world. It doesn't surprise me at all that Johan has accomplished this. It is the logical consequence of his many years of activities. Only the best is good enough for Johan. I am a little jealous, but he is very lucky.
