Dog Training Services

Für Junghunde bis Senioren – Mischlinge und Rassehunde

For adolescent dogs through to seniors – mixed breeds and purebred dogs. I work as a mobile dog trainer, without a training facility. Training takes place where your dog actually learns best: in everyday life.

My focus is on practical, real-life training, building a strong human–dog bond and needs-based learning – with particular experience in working with rescue dogs and dogs adopted from abroad.

On this page, you’ll find an overview of all available services:

> One-to-One Dog Training (in person & online) 

> Social Walks & Learning Walks

> Group Classes for Beginners and more advanced Teams

General Info & The Fine Print ;-)

 

Case History (Anamnesis):
The case history session is the ideal starting point before any further training, as it provides a solid understanding of your dog.

Training Recommendation:
For best results, we recommend at least 1–2 lessons per month – and as always: practice makes perfect.

* Validity: All packages (session passes) are valid for 1 year from the date of purchase. After that, additional costs may apply if prices have increased.

** Travel Fee:
For training locations outside Bottmingen, Binningen, Therwil, and Oberwil, a travel fee applies (based on time and distance). For greater distances, online sessions are also possible – for example, using specifically requested video material.
