Trainings
We offer both beginner and advanced individual and group courses throughout the year for general obedience and behavior in urban environments, so you can enroll at any time. The courses are suitable for both puppies and adult dogs.
WHEN TO START?
Proper training of your dog is crucial. Unfortunately, many owners only realize this when things have already gone terribly wrong, when dogs develop a myriad of undesirable behaviors and are no longer controllable. Therefore, training should begin as soon as your dog arrives in your home.
It's always easier to train properly than to remove unwanted behaviors that have already been acquired—so take your pet to school as soon as possible!
In our courses, we try to teach owners how to live with a dog, how to communicate with it, and how to be a good leader of the pack in a non-violent way in the eyes of the dog, which is worth trying.
We organize and conduct group (no more than 5 people) and individual lessons.
GROUP TRAINING
Why do we organize work in small groups of up to 5 people?
Group sessions are no more than 5 people because this allows us to pay attention to everyone. In training, we prioritize the things that are important for a pleasant life with the dog.
The group sessions for beginners at our school start with an introductory lecture, attended without dogs. During the brief lecture, we will get to know each other, understand how dogs perceive their environment, discuss the work method, equipment, and everything necessary for the course.
The work with owners and dogs at our school is partly carried out on a well-chosen training ground, which continues in an urban environment where dogs and handlers face various distractions, such as motor vehicles, bicyclists, pedestrians, and others.
The focus in dog training is on socialization. In group classes, dogs learn to ignore other dogs and handlers. They learn to cooperate with the handler in the presence of other dogs and people.
INDIVIDUAL TRAINING
Individual dog training can be done in two ways:
- The owner works with the dog
- The instructor works with the dog
Dog owners have different desires, some want to work with their dog under the guidance of an instructor, but often, dog owners prefer to leave the main training to the instructor. In this case, we take the dog from the owner and work with it all day, then return it. After completing the training, we involve the owner, who of course must continue to work.
We agree with the owner which behaviors to teach the dog and which to remove. Most often, we deal with the basics: the dog pulls on the leash and does not come when called.
In working with dogs, we use only dog-friendly training methods in absolutely all cases.
We treat each case individually based on the dog's characteristics and the owner's wishes.
We do not retrain aggressive dogs, but talk with the owner and give advice on how to handle the dog. In such cases, of course, we advise where to turn for truly professional and effective help.

WHAT WE LEARN IN THE COURSES
Most handlers come to school intending to teach the dog to walk without pulling and to come when called. These are the two most important things. City behavior is also important.
If we invest the necessary time and knowledge in raising a dog, then we can take our four-legged friend anywhere with us. But if we don't raise it properly, conflict is inevitable. And this is only because we don't know how to raise and educate it.
Furthermore, we work entirely with the dog's instincts, teaching owners to understand and respect their needs and nature. In response, the dogs will reciprocate with boundless love, trust, gratitude, and loyalty.
The course program includes:
- Learning to walk on a loose leash;
- Calling the dog;
- Working in an urban environment;
- Basic commands: sit, stay, walk away from the dog waiting off-leash;
- Other activities for spending quality time with the dog.
