WHAT IS ALLTAGSHUNDEN AUF DER AUF?

Is your dog already quite well-behaved? Great, congratulations – you've done a good job!

Are you keen to improve upon what you've already learned? To deepen your knowledge? To learn new things? And to train with your dog not always on the training field, but in everyday life?

Then the everyday dog course is just right for you!

The HUNDHOCH2 course offers varied everyday training in a wide range of locations – in the forest, on the fitness trail, in open countryside, or in towns and villages. Perhaps even at a lake or in a hardware store.


BENEFITS OF EVERYDAY TRAINING

Everyday training offers some significant advantages compared to training on the training ground:

  • Participants receive suggestions for keeping their four-legged friend occupied and busy in everyday life, for example on daily walks.

  • While training on the training grounds helps inexperienced teams to learn new things without too much distraction, in everyday life dogs and humans are confronted with unpredictable situations and significantly more environmental stimuli .

    HUNDHOCH2 helps owners to better "read" their dog in such situations, meaning to better understand the dog's behavior and what is likely to happen. In other words, to predict its reactions and thereby control or prevent them.

  • Especially insecure dogs are often more relaxed and able to learn outside the training area.

  • In everyday life, there are usually fewer problems with territorial dogs than on the training grounds.
