Our way of dog training
No spike collars, no drills, no intimidation. What we do offer however, is a positive approach to dog training, where we aim to see lots of wagging tails, happy and healthy dogs and happy dog owners. In our dog training courses your dog will learn step by step what we would like it to do, and gets rewarded for good behaviour every time it does something right. Training your dog is fun, especially for your dog!
Group training course
Once a week, usually on a Saturday, a group of dog owners meet at the Animal Hotel, where we go step by step through basic obedience, where your dogs learns heel, sit, down, come, etc in different situations. A typical course consists of eight sessions. We will also work with some agility obstacles, and we'll end with a small exam. During the course you will hear us explain about canine psychology, recommended toys, dog food, and how to solve some typical problems that may occur in household situations. Group course is great for dogs that need to get used to other dogs around them, or dogs that are easily distracted. With a little patience, you 'll see that all dogs can learn, young or old, and of all kinds of breed!
Puppy course 3 - 6 months of age
For puppies there is a course with lots of play time included. We do a mini course of six sessions, of 45 minutes each. We'll introduce some very basic exercises like sit and making the puppy follow you. We'll talk about puppy issues, like home training, how to best socialize your puppy to other dogs, and children. We'll talk about food, health, and exercises you can do at home. Participating puppies will need to have had their third cocktail vaccination, and need to be free of both internal and external parasites. There is no real minimum age, but after the third vaccination you puppy would probably be about three months of age. The course will be given to small groups of four to seven doggies at the time. We'll be starting a new course every two months !
Individual training course
Your dog can learn basic obedience in less than a month! We'll take you through an intensive course, two or three times a week, at a time that is convenient for you. Be surprised how fast your dog learns to eg. walk on a lead without pulling, sitting next to you before crossing the road, or lying down while you speak to someone.
