Individual Dog Training
We offer individual and specially developed program for each dog and the owner.
Obedience training is one of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself. Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it protects you from many of them.
The main advantage of our offer is that we do not train your dog but we teach you how to train your dog. Most of the dog's actual training will be done by you at home. Our training will open up a line of communication between you and your dog and help both of you understand eachother.
Types of training:
- Puppy classes (for dogs under 6 months)
- Obedience courses (for dogs over 6 months)

Training Topics:

Our Training Methods:
Our training method is developed by our trainer Agnieszka Nojszewska in cooperation with:- 4 Paws For Ability Inc., USA
- Foundation DOGIQ, Katowice
- Dogxperts, Denmark
- Assistance Dogs Europe, Holand
During classes we use methods based on positive and negative reinforcement.
Positive reinforcement is when we reward dog for doing something we want him to do. Negative reinforcement is when dog does not get reward because he is not doing what we want him to do.
Training with positives has many advantages, not the least of which, is it never leads to aggression or aversion. When using positives, your dog will love working with you and discovering ways to get you to give him what he wants.
Physical punishment is not allowed on our training. The only punishment we use (as rare as possible) is voice command, body posture or slight correction by leash. Force is used only if necessary for people or dog security.
Negative reinforcement and punishment is never used to teach new behaviours.
Our training is always preceded by consultations at client's home in order to develop a personalised training, or behaviour modification, program.
We do not train dogs for protection, guard or self-defence.
Our training is created to be fun for you and your dog, so we teach you to pay attention to timing, intensity, variety and frequency of rewarding.
