Private lessons
Experience the magic of Dogness in a private coaching session.
I look forward to meeting you and your dog. During our first meeting, which serves to evaluate your needs, I enjoy going for a walk. Walking together makes it easier for me to understand your concerns.
I won’t just bombard them with my ‘expert advice’ and the corresponding solution from outside, as is still commonly practised in dog training centres today.
My goal is to integrate you, as a dog owner, into the solution process so that you can actively participate in shaping it. Sounds complicated? Don’t worry, it’s not. The purpose of this approach is to help you and your dog learn a variety of behavioural measures that are suitable for your everyday life together.
Successful dog training should not only include technical aspects, but also take emotional dimensions into account. All advice given in classic dog training follows learning theory and behavioural biology findings. The dog-human team has a close relationship, and Dogness always focuses on both sides of the leash.

30 minutes of this is warm-up and cool-down with free-running sessions, group exercises and relaxation exercises to wind down after the training session.
PS. All training sessions take place on unfenced everyday terrain.
Group lessons
Experience the magic of Dogness in a small group.
At Dogness, lessons are taught in small groups of 2 to 4 human-dog teams. The lesson content focuses on learning how to use positive reinforcement correctly by establishing a marker word/marker tone.
This is followed by signal (command) linking, learning the right timing for the dog owner, and aspects of the owner’s body language in training and everyday interactions with the dog.
Once basic skills have been established, I teach classic obedience training in accordance with the National Companion Dog 1 training programme. This national examination regulation covers everything that dog owners could wish for in terms of their dog’s obedience in everyday life. The advantage of this training concept is that you can decide whether or not you want to obtain the NBH1 certificate in an examination.
