Courses and programmes
Choose the right programme
Three courses with a full published syllabus, a one-to-one programme for behaviour problems and the assessment every collaboration starts with.
Dogs over 8 months
Basic cues, loose-leash walking, self-control and the bond with the handler, in a group or one-to-one. 12 modules.
Preparation for TSAC and FCI-BH
Basic position, heelwork, stays with distractions, urban socialisation and full exam simulations. 34 stages.
One-to-one programme
Reactivity, fear, aggression, excessive barking or resource guarding. We work on the cause of the behaviour, not the symptom.
The first step, 60 minutes
We look at your relationship with your dog, its behaviour and your goals, then recommend the right programme.
How we work
We start with an assessment: your relationship with your dog, its behaviour and what you want to achieve. Only then do we recommend a programme. There is no course "for everyone".
We use positive methods, based on rewards and on understanding the dog's needs. No prong collars, no corrections through pain or fear. A dog that works because it enjoys it learns faster and keeps what it has learned.
Sessions are outdoors, in Bucharest and Ilfov, in places chosen for the group's level: quiet surroundings at first, then more and more distractions, up to the urban traffic you need for a BH exam.
The basic and advanced courses have a published syllabus on each page, module by module, so you know in advance what is taught and in what order. You can work through it on your own; in class you get feedback on what you do, not just the dog.
Who it is for
You have a puppy aged 3-7 months
Puppy Class: the most important socialisation window in a dog's life closes early. What it does not meet now will scare it later.
Your dog is over 8 months and "does not listen"
Basic obedience: cues, loose-leash walking, self-control. Most everyday problems are solved here.
You want an exam or a sport
Advanced training prepares for TSAC and FCI-BH; the sports catalogue helps you pick the discipline that suits your dog's temperament.
Your dog reacts to other dogs, people or noises
Behaviour correction: a one-to-one programme aimed at the cause of the behaviour. The earlier, the simpler.
Open resources
Free guides
Not everything we do is taught in class. The sports catalogue, the services guide and the children's project are open to anyone.
A catalogue of 60+ disciplines
From agility and obedience to mantrailing, canicross or dock diving: what each sport involves and who it suits.
69 types of services
A guide to the services around your dog: pet-sitting, grooming, boarding, nutrition, physiotherapy and how to choose a good provider.
An educational project for children
How to behave safely and respectfully around a dog: free presentations for schools, materials for parents and teachers.

Events
Seminars, exams and open training sessions, in Romania and across Europe.
Not sure where to start?
Start with a 60-minute assessment. We look at the dog, at you and at what you want to achieve, then tell you honestly which programme makes sense.
