General information

In this online course your puppy or older dog primarily learns to become a team with you! The goal is for your dog to enjoy working with you, trust you, make good decisions on its own, get rewarded with wanted motivational objects (food & toys) and achieve good basic obedience.

Detailed information can be found below:

Start & Duration

→ WHEN DO THE NEXT COURSES START?

In contrast to a working spot an auditing spot can be booked and started at any time!

I offer working spots at the beginning of every second month. The number of students is very limited! An early registration makes sense but doesn‘t guarantee a spot.

→ COURSE DURATION & SCHEDULE

There are 6 main lessons that appear weekly or bi-weekly so that there is enough time to rework.

General information right after the course has started
Lesson 1: 1 day after the course has started
Lesson 2: 1 week after the course has started
Lesson 3: 2 week after the course has started
Lesson 4: 4 week after the course has started
Lesson 5: 5 week after the course has started
Lesson 6: 7 week after the course has started

Working spots receive 10 weeks of feedback on team-related questions and videos. General questions are allowed to be asked by everyone.

You have a total of 6 months access to all content. However, it is also possible to extend the access time after it has expired.

REQUIREMENTS

→ AGE OF THE DOG

This class is designed for puppies from 8 weeks of age. But of course it can’t hurt to refresh these foundations with young or even adult dogs!

→ MATERIALS

You don’t need any special utensils for this course. A different selection of toys (or even normal everyday objects, haha), goodies and a (foldable) dog bed (which is not a must because a normal dog bed works, too) would be an advantage. In the last lesson there is an exercise with a food machine which is absolutely not necessary for the course itself.

→ TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

Of course you need an internet-enabled device to access the protected member area which contains all course content and the forum. Facebook is not required!

As an working participant you should also have the option of filming yourself and your dog (for example with a smartphone and tripod) and uploading these videos externally (for example to a free YouTube account)!

Graduation vieos of past students

I‘m very happy that some of the past students took the time to create a graduation video – thank you again for that! This gives you a better insight into different human-dog teams. Some more are in the making 🙂
