Method

I help you to build a better understanding between you and your dog, give you support in many matters concerning your life together with your dog and show you ways to achieve a harmonious coexistence. The counselling mainly relates to you as a human being: Dogs fill the gaps they find in our reactions, so you only achieve a change in the dog if you also change something in yourself. I pick up everyone where they are, what they are able to implement and try to support each person in relation to their dog, but also to challenge and thus strengthen them. I offer a holistic consultation. 

 

I don't have one method that I impose on every human-dog team and then hope that it works. To be honest, I don't work according to a specific method at all. In dog training there are also no patent remedies and quick (miracle) results.

 

Education is not just learning commands. Above all, education means a relationship, clear rules, setting specific limits in order to be able to offer freedom. Without a good relationship and a secure bond between human and dog, it is not possible. A secure bond characterised by trust, sovereignty, clear rules and mutual respect. 

 

It is also important to use your own body language and to learn the dog's language. Similar to humans, dog training is about social learning: the development of social skills in order to be able to cope in today's world without problems. So not "sit", "down", "heel", which again is formal learning and has nothing to do with education and still has its justification; just not for problem solving or to reduce the dog to a command receiver. So if you're looking for training with sit, down, heel and give paw, you've come to the wrong place. Not because I can't do that, but because it doesn't change anything in the event of problems and is definitely not a priority for puppies. 

 

Intuitive handling of the dogs is important. The term Authoritative Training describes it quite aptly: "Controlling with clear rules, but includes affection, empathy and tolerance for the needs of the community." I.e. fair, respectful and gentle.
