About me - dog trainer Therés
From hobby to profession - dog training with passion in Kassel and Fritzlar
Hey,
I'm Therés, your dog trainer and I'm looking forward to meeting you.
In my family there have always been dogs. I felt comfortable in this environment and so it was clear to me for a long time that I will have my own dog someday. But it was also clear to me that this dog would become my companion. This is my idea of my personal human-dog team.
When my boss at the time agreed to an office dog, I went on a search and found Paula. She moved in with me in November 2019 and after a short time came to work with me, where she became the first office dog.
From fun to vocation
Like many other puppy owners, I looked for a dog school in Munich in advance and found "Freude am Hund". There I was with her in the puppy play class. Afterwards we did the basic course and I kept seeing trainees who wanted to become dog trainers. We had so much fun and the atmosphere was just amazing, so I decided to become a dog trainer myself.
Today it is my perfect balance to my office job and I would do everything exactly the same way again.
It's a real passion and my desire is to share my knowledge about dogs and their communication.
We offer both digital courses and on-site training in Kassel and Munich to offer you and your dog the best possible support.
Our philosophy is based on the concept of positive reinforcement. This means that we only work with reward-based methods and strictly reject any form of violence. In our training sessions, we specifically intercept the desired behavior of your dog and reward it so that your four-legged friend automatically shows the behavior you want more often. These rewards can be in the form of food, but also through active play or other activities that your dog appreciates.
The aim of our work is to build a trusting and respectful relationship between you and your dog. We are convinced that a well-behaved dog is a happy dog - and we achieve this through the joy of learning and a deep understanding of your animal's needs.
Let's go down the path to a harmonious coexistence together!
I'm looking forward to meeting your dog and you!
Education
2021
Of course I am examined after paragraph 11 Abs. 1 No. 8 f of the animal protection law of the veterinary office Munich.
2020-2021
I completed my training at the dog school "Freude am Hund" in Munich. Here I laid the foundation for my training methods based on positive approaches. In the ten-month training I was able to gain a lot of practical experience and learn the methods of very good trainers.
It is essential to continue education in my profession to expand the range of training methods and possibilities.
Each dog-owner team is individual and needs individual advice and that's why I participate regularly in different education sessions.
Ich bin Mitglied im Berufsverband für Hundeerzieher und Verhaltensberater (BHV), das bedeutet, dass ich eine Verpflichtung zur regelmäßigen kynologischen Fortbildung habe, womit das Wissen um Zucht, Erziehung und Krankheiten von Hunden immer auf dem neuesten Stand gehalten wird.
SPRICH HUND!
Lerne spielend hündisch. Ich erkläre dir Körpersprache leicht verständlich.
Unser Hund – unser bester Freund. Doch warum versteht er uns offensichtlich oft nicht? Warum rastet er aus, wenn wir es für unangebracht halten und warum sind wir oft Luft für ihn? Was empfindet er eigentlich? Warum macht er, was er macht?
