DOG SCHOOL
INDIVIDUAL LESSONS THEORY COURSE/ PRACTICAL COURSE
THEORY COURSE
Because knowledge creates trust - and trust creates a real team
A dog moves in - and with it comes responsibility, questions and new challenges. Our theory course is aimed at anyone who wants to be optimally prepared for life with a dog - whether before moving in with a puppy, adopting an animal welfare dog or simply to brush up on basic knowledge.
In a relaxed and understandable atmosphere, we provide you with sound basic knowledge about the behaviour, needs, communication and training of dogs. The focus is on respectful, safe and everyday interaction between humans and dogs.
Course content Theory course
Rights and obligations of dog owners
Appropriate behaviour and needs of the dog
Dog behaviour and communication
Prevention of conflicts in public spaces
Health, nutrition and care  
The course concludes with an examination and can be completed online or with recognised trainers.
PRACTICAL COURSE
A reliable team that goes through everyday life with joy and clarity
A well-behaved dog is no coincidence, but the result of clear communication, consistent leadership and mutual trust. In our practical course, you and your dog will learn the most important basics for harmonious coexistence in everyday life.
We train in small groups on everyday situations - with plenty of room for individual feedback and personal development. The focus is on orientation towards people, polite behaviour towards the environment and other dogs as well as calm, safe handling in various areas of life.
