Please note: the cantonal requirements for the mandatory dog course differ. If in doubt, check the rules of your canton – or ask me and I will tell you what applies to you. The course is held in German.

And the practical part?

Theory is the requirement.
Everyday life is the real test.

You get the theory part done online. Everything that counts out there afterwards – leash walking, recall, dog encounters, settling at home – we train in person. The practical part is part of the training programme; what it looks like for you, we clarify in the consultation.

Next step

which path fits the two of you.
