OUR PHILOSOPHY
We all want a harmonious life with our dog as a loyal friend and family member. We want to experience adventures together and discover the world.
At the same time, dogs are a different social partner than humans. He communicates differently, has different needs and also wants to “be a dog”.
The only impractical thing is that a dog's natural behavior often no longer fits in with the human world and everyday life. This is why we have to train our dog and help him get along in this world and at the same time we must not forget that we are looking at a dog and not a person.
So what does it take for good dog training and a great coexistence between humans and dogs?
Knowledge as a basis
Comprehensive knowledge is the basis for being able to read and understand your dog. Only when you know how and why your dog reacts this way and you can judge this based on his expression, his body language and knowledge about genetics and the dog's nature, can you understand him and deal with him accordingly.
Mindset - Our dogs reflect us
Just as important as knowledge is your own attitude and mindset. Dog training is not just about working on the dog but also on you. Our dogs reflect us. They show us our weaknesses, fears, everyday stress and unprocessed issues that we carry around with us. Starting training with a new perspective and questioning yourself are important parts of dog training. It's not uncommon that you also know how to deal with your own emotions better afterwards.
The tools and handling
If we have the right knowledge and mindset, all that's missing is the correct communication and handling of your dog. Roughly speaking, the “instructions” you get in classic dog training. How do I react in the situation that triggers my dog? How do I build a proper callback? How do I get my dog to stop pulling on the leash?
The final part of any dog training is the tools, the strategies to learn to steer the dog and act correctly.
My dog training consists of all three parts - for me that means holistic. One doesn't work without the other!
Of course, this holistic approach also includes knowledge about the right utilization, the right accessories, health and much more. See the whole dog and include everything
I want to make positive changes in the long term and lead a life in which my dogs and I feel equally comfortable.
And that is exactly my goal for all my clients; to create an everyday life that is relaxed and enriching for everyone!
