In this course you will learn why it is often so difficult for our four-legged friends to come back to us when called and, of course, what you can do to change that. In addition to a little theory, we take you by the hand in 3 practical modules and show you exercises that you can train at home with your dog. You get all units unlocked at the same time, so you can practice what you have learned directly. As always, we work on fun and motivation in training.

Also a small excursion into leash lore, Esther also informs about the proper use of harness and collar and what to look for when buying.

Your dog follows you wherever you go? When you get up, does he go everywhere with you? When dogs have problems with being alone, it can manifest itself in many different ways. The dog is always following us, he barks and howls in the absence of his owners, or destroys something in the apartment…….or even the dog suffers in silence. The latter is not uncommon and you can easily find this out if you ever run a camera to see what the dog does during the absence. Separation stress equals pain and can lead to serious consequences in the long run. In 6 modules you will learn how to train your dog to stay alone. Especially at Corona times many are in the home office and the whole day with the dog. But that will change at some point. Even if the dog had no problems in the past, it can look completely different now. So it’s better to be prepared than to have to deal with it.

Medical training is suitable for all dogs. In addition to being a meaningful way to keep the dog busy, training creates bonding and trust. It can also prepare the dog optimally for a visit to the vet, or make it easier for the anxious dog to visit the practice through goal-oriented training and management. In this course you will learn everything there is to know about the subject in theory and practice. More info can be found in the following video:

My dog is stubborn, again has no desire and does what he wants….Is there such a thing as “stubborn” at all in the world of dogs?

What could be the reason for behavior changes or lack of motivation in the dog?

What is the dominance theory all about and does the alpha wolf really exist? And if so, what does that mean for life with the dog? What’s the deal with all this pack stuff, anyway?

How can you better understand what your dog is trying to tell you? How can you better assess a cohabitation and the well-being of the dog and what should you pay more attention to?

In the webinar hour we talk about all this :-) and more….

The trend is still towards multiple dog ownership. The picture in our minds is usually as follows:

Both dogs are cuddling in their basket next to each other, eating their treats and being happy. Walks are so much nicer because they now have a companion with them and both can play, run and romp together…..Even when I’m not there, the dog is no longer alone…..Is that really so???

Unfortunately, this does not work out in all cases and often the dog owners are faced with the desperate question of whether to give the dog back.

What considerations should I make about the other dog? Age, gender, race? When is the right time to do it? What can I do ahead of time to prepare myself and my home for moving in?

Breeder or animal welfare? What do I need to consider in both cases?

What to do if something goes wrong? How could it go on then?

We’ll discuss these and other questions and considerations in this webinar!

You have the choice! Do you want to be the greatest for your four-legged friends, or be ignored by boredom…?

Are you one of those dog owners who feel guilty when you have to shorten your walk because you don’t have time or the weather is bad?

Then we have great news for you here. Contrary to what many think, exercise is not the only way to “exercise” our dogs. This is, of course, usually important, but well-being should also include mental occupation.

Dogs that are mentally challenged and learn to develop solution strategies are usually less frustrated and better balanced.

In this webinar, we’ll show you what you can do indoors without making a big purchase. You will be surprised what you have at home and can use.

The same applies to the walk. We’ll shed some light on that one, too, and look at a few examples of what you can do interactively.

If you want to get more into training, check out our tricks section.

Become the center of the universe for your little ones. You will see how much fun you will have together!

Every year there is a New Year’s Eve – that’s for sure. Some dogs don’t mind the day (yet), others are tense and anxious days before. What is the reason for this and what can be done about it? Can my dog develop New Year’s Eve anxiety even if he hasn’t had any problems with it before? To comfort or not to comfort? What makes sense in training and what does not? What can happen if I do nothing against it, freely the slogan “there must the dog then just once in the year through.”

In this seminar, we’ll talk about what can be done to prepare our four-legged friends early for New Year’s Eve. There are also ways to work on dogs that already have problems on New Year’s Eve.

The trend is clear! More and more dog owners suffer from the issue of conflicts in dog encounters or problems with other triggers. Your dog literally freaks out on the leash when he sees a conspecific already at a distance? You have already tried everything possible, but nothing helps? The walk becomes a nightmare and your only hope is not to meet other dog owners? You are frustrated why your dog can’t just be as relaxed with others as the other dogs? I can promise you that there are many, many people who feel as you do. At this point, however, it is important to understand WHY your dog reacts the way he does. What are the possible causes? How does leash aggression happen in the first place and are there ways to improve the situation?

We cover all of this in this webinar and give you background information on the subject.

We love our dogs, would do anything for them and they are the most loyal companions in the world?!

So how is it that so few dog owners pay attention to dog body language? We live day in and day out with our “best friend” and yet understand very little of what he wants to tell us….

In this seminar we look at the expression structures of dogs. This will give you a first impression of how our dogs communicate with us and their peers. A kind of checklist at the end helps you to consolidate what you have learned in everyday life.

We also look at the most common mistakes we as humans make body language wise when interacting with our dogs.

We shed light on common questions such as:

• The dog wags his tail, so he is happy…..
• He knows exactly what he has done again…
• He loves to be squeezed by children….
• He smiles at me…
• He just wants to play….
• He is quite dominant…

Is all this really the case? We will shed light on these and many other questions and assumptions in this online seminar.

Brushing the dog’s teeth…how does that work???

This is exactly the question we will address in this webinar. All questions about dental health have already been answered in detail in the webinar Dental Health in Dogs – Interview with Dr. Gabriele Walb. But now the question arises for many of you: How do I start brushing my teeth in the first place?

Ideally, you train a start signal with your dog in advance, but this is not a condition for the training. In the film I explain to you in the individual modules once again what you need to brush your teeth for utensils and we begin with the practice. With my dog Feliz, we go through the steps you need to practice for brushing your teeth. We also address special features and possible sources of errors in the training. Between the modules you have to practice continuously, as always, because from nothing comes NIX ;-)

In the webinar with Dr. Julia Fritz, we learned what points to know about dog nutrition. In this webinar, however, we will look at what influence nutrition has on the behavior of our dogs and cats. We are pleased to have won Esther Würtz for this again, who is specialized among other things exactly in it as a veterinary surgeon for behavior medicine. Together we look at some feed ingredients, nutritional supplements, diseases, everyday demands and many other details around the topic, of course always with regard to the influence of behavior.

Also very nice is that cats also get attention in this topic in the lecture.

We hope you enjoy this exciting lecture!
