Mixgroup Obedience + Fun

From the 6 th month on, this group is the continuation of the puppy group. Of course, also older dogs and young dogs can participate, who were not in the puppy group. This course offers, on the one hand, the opportunity to prepare masters and mistresses of young dogs for the upcoming adolescence of their quadrupeds and, on the other hand, to overcome together the challenging puberty stage: The owners receive necessary tools and knowledge, the dogs are stimulated physically and intellectually.

Obedience exercises are practised in the most different situations; distractions and difficulty degree are increased more and more.

There are more ways to play as just "throwing a ball". Besides physical exercise, a happy dog also needs activity for his nose and brain. Tricks, brainteasers, retrieve games, clicker training stimulate the bond between human and dog and it is in turn essential for the obedience. You will receive suggestions about how to make the walk different.

Furthermore, in the groups, dogs have time to "play" with other dogs or to run free, because besides education the contact to conspecies is important. Thereby they can improve their communication ability and social behaviour.

I offer agility equipment (an obstacle course with different hurdles, tunnels, seesaws, etc.) only just for fun. Dog and owner are a team, the work together building up mutual trust, knowing better each other by having fun. (I do not offer a gility training for competition).

I use the same obstacles also as therapy for unconfident, insecure dogs. Here it is not a matter of rapidity, but it is important to get over fear, to build up self-confidence through successful experiences by mastering hurdles.

Running through the course slowly and carefully is also a good concentration exercise for nervous and hyperactive dogs.

For all young and adult dogs.
