Games based Concept Training is all about teaching dogs to make better choices – and to give owners the tools to lead their dogs.
All classes are suited for young dogs from 3 months old to senior dogs who want to learn new skills. Instead of teaching behaviors, we teach concepts, such as calmness, focus, optimism, confidence, disengagement, etc. to get real life results! Pet dogs, sports dogs, companion dogs… who doesn’t need more fun in their life? Max. 6 dogs per class, family members are welcome to attend.

Play Your Way to a Happy, Well-Behaved Dog!
The most important skill we can teach a young dog is to mind their own business. This skill enables relaxed leash walking, happy recalls, polite greetings and calmness at home.
Learning through Games is not only effective and fun but also very powerful and long lasting!

In this course, we’ll use science-based methods and fun games to shift your dog’s emotional responses and build better behavior. We’ll dive deep into WHY your dog reacts and HOW to help them. Our goal is for dogs to ignore distractions and remain calm, no matter what! Games based Concept Training is all about learning what to do when and growing yours and your dog’s skills!
