Dog care in the heart of nature

As a dog trainer, my philosophy is simple: nature provides the best environment for the learning and development of our four-legged friends. Wollerau, with its stunning natural backdrop, provides the ideal canvas for this belief. In this section I would like to outline my approach as a dog trainer and share examples of training activities in the natural environment around Wollerau.

My approach as a dog trainer
My aim is to promote a harmonious relationship between dog and owner, based on mutual respect and understanding. I firmly believe that a positive, reward-based approach to training is not only more effective, but also more fulfilling for both parties. The surroundings of Wollerau, with its vast green spaces, forests and hiking trails, offer numerous opportunities to make training sessions exciting and educational, while supporting the well-being of the dogs.

Examples of outdoor activities and training exercises
Hiking training:

Using the numerous hiking trails around Wollerau offers a fantastic opportunity to practice leash training while strengthening obedience in different environments. These walks not only strengthen the bond between dog and owner, but also promote physical health and mental well-being.
Outdoor retrieval and search games: Parks and woodland in and around Wollerau are perfect places for retrieval and search games. These activities develop the dog's cognitive skills of using its nose and following commands while learning to be interactive in play.
Socialization meetings in nature: Regular meetings with other dogs in Erlenmoos Park or in the meadows help to build social skills in a controlled and safe environment. Such social interactions are essential for the development of a well-adjusted and trusting dog.
Relaxation exercises on the lakeshore: Lake Zurich offers a calm and soothing environment to carry out relaxation exercises with dogs. Impulse control and relaxation exercises in such an idyllic setting can be particularly effective in teaching dogs to remain calm in exciting or unfamiliar situations.

In Wollerau, we have the luxury of being surrounded by such a variety of natural beauty that allows us to create a training program that is not only effective, but also extremely enjoyable for dogs and their owners. By integrating these activities into the training, not only is learning encouraged, but also a deep love and appreciation for nature.
