Training with dogs with extensive hunting behaviour
6-part workshop - Start 28.04. (theory)
Hunting behaviour in dogs - fascination or curse?
Is it difficult for you to release your dog because you never know if he will stay with you?
Is your dog often on the ground with his nose poking around and forgetting the environment around him?
Can your dog hardly walk out the front door normally because he knows that he will meet a cat just around the corner?
Is your dog unable to respond to your call back as soon as he sees a moving object (bicycle, child, game, cat, etc.)?
Then this workshop is just the right thing for you and your dog.
In this workshop, additional activities for dogs with hunting ambitions are discussed and developed.
This workshop includes 1 days of theory and 5 days of practical training.
There is a longer break between the practical training days so that what has been learned can be implemented and trained.
Dates of next course:
28.04. (theory) / 03.05. / 10.05. / 31.05. / 07.06. / 21.06.
Workshop on multi-dog ownership
4-part workshop with Prisca - Start 02.05.25/18.30h
Life with two, three, four or more dogs can be very rewarding, but equally challenging.
Walking on a loose leash, recalling or crossing other dogs can be a challenge and can turn walks with more than one dog into a goal tour.
There are also questions about how to organize everyday life indoors:
How can rest periods be observed?
How do I organize training with one dog while a second dog would like to join in?
These and other topics are covered in the workshop over four lessons.
Topics relevant to everyday life for dog owners with several dogs are examined in theory and practice and trained as closely as possible to everyday life.
Course places: 8 places with dog, 4 places without dog

Seminar Details
Cooperation training for difficult situations
4-part workshop - Start in October 2025
Practically all dogs find it unpleasant when they have to have a tick removed, their hair cut or their paws dried by their owner or a stranger.
Some dogs try to escape, others react aggressively and still others are frozen as they endure the procedure.
This workshop provides participants with tools on how to perform procedures on dogs at home or at the vet without stress and in cooperation with the dog.
The workshop includes:
4 practical lessons of 45-60 minutes each
The practical lessons take place in our training hall in Mettmenstetten.
The workshop will be held from 3 registrations.
The maximum number of participants is 8 teams.
Puppy Intensive Workshop
9-part workshop - Start if enough interested parties
The first few weeks are the most important for puppies and this time should be used to create a great basis.
For this reason, we are now offering a puppy course over a total of 8 days plus a theory course beforehand. In this workshop we will meet every day for a training session and introduce you and your puppy to the essential things that will accompany you as a dog-human team for the rest of your dog's life.
The program consists of the following elements:
- Gaining experience in the environment
- socialization
- Relaxation and excitement in everyday life
- Dealing with insecurities and fear
- Seeking - what does it mean and what is so important to consider
- Organization of everyday life at home
- Organization of everyday life with puppies and children
- First steps in our toolbox (drop, recall, leash walking, etc.)
- Dealing with hunting behavior (if necessary)
- and much more...
Would you also like to lay the best possible foundation for yourself and your puppy?
Then this is the right course for you.
Dog meets dog
6-part workshop - fully booked -> new dates soon
Meet and greet workshop for dog-owner teams
Many dogs no longer show natural behavior in contact with other dogs (especially on the leash). The reasons for this are complex and depend on many factors. Some dogs jump into the lead, try to come forward, bark or whine, while others try to escape. These behaviors push many dog owners to their limits and create tension for the entire team.
Perhaps you also find your dog stressful outside and would like to change this behavior? This workshop is suitable for any dog, including dogs in the middle of adolescence.
We provide theoretical and practical lessons.
NHB - Nationales Hundehalter Brevet
11-part workshop with Mischi - Start if enough interested parties
Would you like to train important everyday situations with your dog and possibly even take the National Dog Owner Brevet exam?
We are delighted to be able to offer the National Dog Owner Certificate (NBH). This goes hand in hand with the NHB exam.
What is the National Dog Owner Certificate (NBH)?
In some cantons of Switzerland, the National Dog Owner Certificate (NHB for short) is already compulsory.
This is not (yet) the case in Zurich, but we still offer the preparation course in our 11-part workshop.
Of course we can also take the exam.
Exam fee incl. certificate in credit card format: CHF 250.00
The long-term goal of the NHB is to offer a standardized concept throughout Switzerland, which should be mandatory for all dog owners.
The learning objectives are things from everyday life and very versatile - so they are also very practical to master even if you do not have an NHB obligation
