WHY A PRIVATE DOG CLASS?

Completing an entire course privately can be an alternative if a dog simply is n't suited to group lessons , or if the owner prefers to train alone and intensively rather than in a group.

In the private courses offered by HUNDHOCH2, the learning objectives of the respective group course are taught privately - tailored to the specific needs of the private client team.

This is further enhanced by answers to individual questions or tips for specific topics , as well as special and useful exercises.

From June 1, 2025

Puppy courses, basic practical courses and advanced practical courses can be booked privately.
For the basic practical course, HUNDHOCH2 will of course enter the course certificate at amicus, provided the course objectives have been achieved.
