Basic obedience

The attention or reorientation signal helps you to direct your dog's attention, especially when he is distracted. It serves as a "light cancellation signal" that gets your dog to turn away from a distraction and focus on you. In this blog, you will learn how to successfully train the signal and use it in everyday life to improve communication with your dog. Including a free training plan!

Acoustic and visual signals are key tools in dog training. They help to create clear communication between you and your dog. In this blog, we explain why signals are so important, how dogs perceive their environment and how you can realistically shape your expectations and training successes. Scientifically based tips will help you to make the most of your dog's body language and perception. A free training plan for the best results is also included!

The SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) helps you to clearly analyse your dog's behaviour. This allows you to work specifically on individual strengths and weaknesses. Using the SMART method, you will learn to set specific, measurable and achievable goals for training with your dog. We show you how to realistically assess your dog and formulate clear goals to take your training to the next level.

In this blog, we discuss what equipment you need for everyday life with your dog and for training. From bowls and Dog Beds to Leashes and harnesses, we give you a comprehensive overview and explain what you should look out for when making your choice.

Dog training and education is more than just a cool method. A well thought-out process and the knowledge of how to train effectively not only ensure more success, but also a lot more fun - for you and your dog.

Improve your dog's basic obedience by focussing training on their basic needs.

The sausage water track is an exciting sniffing exercise that challenges your dog mentally and motivates him with a tasty reward. Following a trail made with sausage water not only keeps your dog busy, but also trains his ability to concentrate. This exercise combines the two favourite activities of many dogs - sniffing and Eat - and gives you the opportunity to get creative with your walk. Day 56 shows you how to create a scent trail and gradually increase the difficulty.

Free shaping is an exciting method to encourage your dog's creativity and initiative. You reward every new behaviour your dog shows without giving him specific instructions. This exercise activates your dog's grey matter, increases his problem-solving ability and brings fresh impetus to your training. Day 55 of the training plan shows you how you can use Free Shaping to give your dog room for his own ideas and creatively extend familiar behaviours.

Trick training is a fun way to keep your dog physically and mentally challenged. In day 54 of the training plan, the focus is on teaching your dog two new tricks. You will learn how to create your own training plan in order to build up behaviour chains gradually and sustainably. Trick training not only promotes your dog's agility, but also strengthens the bond and communication between you.
