Basic obedience

A marker signal helps you to get the timing right in dog training by precisely marking your dog's behaviour and announcing the reward. In this blog, we explain how to set up a marker signal correctly, why it is so important and how to use it effectively in everyday life. We also give you instructions on how to condition the marker signal and what the differences are to the clicker. Including a free training plan!

The attention or reorientation signal helps you to direct your dog's attention, especially when he is distracted. It serves as a "light cancellation signal" that gets your dog to turn away from a distraction and focus on you. In this blog, you will learn how to successfully train the signal and use it in everyday life to improve communication with your dog. Including a free training plan!

Acoustic and visual signals are key tools in dog training. They help to create clear communication between you and your dog. In this blog, we explain why signals are so important, how dogs perceive their environment and how you can realistically shape your expectations and training successes. Scientifically based tips will help you to make the most of your dog's body language and perception. A free training plan for the best results is also included!

The SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) helps you to clearly analyse your dog's behaviour. This allows you to work specifically on individual strengths and weaknesses. Using the SMART method, you will learn to set specific, measurable and achievable goals for training with your dog. We show you how to realistically assess your dog and formulate clear goals to take your training to the next level.

In this blog, we discuss what equipment you need for everyday life with your dog and for training. From bowls and Dog Beds to Leashes and harnesses, we give you a comprehensive overview and explain what you should look out for when making your choice.

Dog training and education is more than just a cool method. A well thought-out process and the knowledge of how to train effectively not only ensure more success, but also a lot more fun - for you and your dog.
