What your training
is built on.

No two dog-and-owner teams are alike – which is why I don't sell packages off the shelf. From these building blocks we put together whatever fits your situation.

The Building Blocks

Personal training.
A system for everyday life.

In private and group training you apply what you have learned directly, under my guidance. The member area, live calls, video feedback and digital tools make sure you stay clear and keep working consistently between sessions.

The Member Area

19 modules built in a logical order, with more than 80 video lessons. The complete training concept – from the fundamentals to everyday application. You work through it at your own pace, whenever it suits you.

Weekly Live Calls

Every week you get your questions answered directly by me and benefit from what other teams are working on. Every call is recorded, so you can catch up flexibly and watch again whenever you like.

The Digital Training Companion

Weekly goals, progress tracking and a traffic-light system give your training structure. A word list, an everyday checklist and reflection tools show you what is working, what comes next and help you stay consistent.

Over 100 Recorded Live Calls

More than 130 hours of real questions, concrete cases and detailed answers. The recordings deepen your understanding, show you how things connect and help you spot the usual pitfalls early.

Personal Video Feedback

You upload a specific training or everyday situation. I show you what is already working and where to make targeted corrections – personal support exactly where your questions come up.

The Training Partner Network

Find dog-and-owner teams who train by the same concept. That way you can practise controlled dog encounters and everyday situations with partners who know the same principles.

The building blocks differ depending on the training path. In the free consultation, someone from my team works out with you which kind of support fits you.

Private Training

Individual. Direct.
Built around the two of you.

In private training I focus entirely on you and your dog. Under realistic everyday conditions I watch how you work together, correct the decisive details on the spot and show you clearly what your next steps are. Even demanding or long-stuck issues can be worked on this way.

  • An individual analysis of your situation
  • Concrete corrections at the right moment
  • Direct application under my guidance
  • Exercises matched to your issue and your current level
  • A clear plan for the time between sessions

“The hurdle we could not get over in two years of dog school with a clicker and rewards, we discussed, analysed and solved within a single lesson.”

Group Training

Reliable –
even under distraction.

You train dog encounters and other demanding everyday situations in a targeted way – controlled and under realistic conditions. That creates repetitions you could hardly plan for on your own. I watch how you apply things, give you immediate feedback and help you use what you have learned reliably, even under strong distraction.

  • Weekly sessions
  • Targeted, controlled practice of dog encounters
  • Consolidating what you have learned under demanding conditions
  • Direct feedback at the right moment
  • Transferring what you have learned into everyday life

“In the past it would have been unthinkable for our dog to concentrate with 20 to 30 other dogs around. Today, thanks to the training, he can sit down calmly in large groups, wait and be recalled.”

Your Dog in Training with Me

When time is short,
but your standards aren't.

For a clearly defined period I take over the intensive training work with your dog. Afterwards I transfer what he has learned to you and your everyday life, step by step, in joint sessions. Because what matters is not that your dog behaves reliably for me, but that you can carry the work on confidently and consistently.

  • A personal start with a joint private session
  • Your dog lives and trains with me during this period
  • Individual intensive training under realistic everyday conditions
  • Joint sessions for a reliable handover
  • A clear plan for carrying on in everyday life
  • I have already trained and educated over 120 dogs this way myself

“In the restaurant he could wait off lead, and outside he came to me every single time I called him. A foreign country, a strange place – and he still listens to me. Everyone was impressed by how well behaved he is. I am so proud of him.”

The Member Area

The whole concept,
step by step.

The member area takes you through my complete training concept in a structured way: from your own mindset and clear communication all the way to concrete everyday application. The content builds logically on itself, so that you not only know what to do, but also understand when, how and why.

“At first I was a little unsure whether an online course could work. And without treats on top of that … It works brilliantly – both of them. The explanations and instructions in the videos are very clear, easy to follow, they make sense and they are fun.”

Claudia Heller · Google review

Depending on the training path you choose, you have access for six months up to unlimited – and you can revisit the content at any time.

What it costs

A first price range

The path most people choose – member area, live calls, private training and group training – sits in the low four figures. If you would rather start through the member area alone, there is a more affordable way in. Payment by instalments is possible. The intensive training, where your dog comes to stay with me for several weeks, is considerably higher.

Which path makes sense for the two of you depends on where you are starting from, what your goals are and how much guidance you want. That is why you will find a price range here rather than a full price list. In the free consultation, someone from my team works out with you which path fits – and tells you the full price. You do not have to decide anything during that conversation.

How it works

How we work together

  • 1. Free consultation. Someone from my team takes the time to understand your situation, your biggest challenges and your goals. You find out which training path fits you and whether my concept makes sense for you.
  • 2. Learning and applying the fundamentals. You start with the lessons in the member area, work through the concept step by step and apply it with your dog from day one. Any open questions you can bring straight to me in the weekly live calls, throughout your whole training.
  • 3. Targeted correction in private training. Once you have worked through the fundamentals, or whenever you get stuck, I analyse how you are applying them. I spot errors in the build-up, correct the decisive details and show you the next steps. You then apply what you have learned over three to four weeks, before I check your progress in the next private session.
  • 4. Routine in group training. As soon as the fundamentals hold – for many people after the first private session, at the latest after the second – group training begins. There you practise dog encounters and other demanding situations, build routine and consolidate what you have learned under strong distraction.
If you live further away

Well supported, even from further away.

Private and group training take place in the Zurich area. If you live further away, I still recommend at least one personal training session on site. Many clients accept a longer journey for it, because in direct training I spot and correct details that easily get lost in videos.

The in-person sessions can be scheduled so that your journey is as worthwhile as possible. Between those sessions you keep working wherever you are: the member area, the live calls and the video feedback give you the knowledge, the feedback and the guidance to apply it in everyday life.

If travelling is not possible at all, there is a fully location-independent training path as well. It does not completely replace personal training on site, but it still lets you work on your issues in a structured way and with my guidance.

If German isn't your language

The training works in English too.

The member area is fully available in English. Every document is translated, and all videos come with English subtitles.

The weekly live calls are held in Swiss German. You can put your questions in English at any time – you will get your answer in English.

Private training can be held in English, and you can join the group training as well: there I give you the explanations in English.

Next step
