HOW TO TRAIN A DOG?
You have a dog. You guys can have a business relationship based on biscuits (but just if your pocket is full) or you can have a fair relationship, in which the dog wants to follow you because of trust and respect.
What will you choose?
If you chose the second option, congrats, you are in the right place and your dog will be happy. Also you.
We will not use any stupid methods that make no sense, but your dog fat. We will use a normal, natural way of training a dog, which means learning to communicate with each other. Yep, dog training is also human training.
WHY?
Raising a dog is much easier than it seems. You just need to understand a few basic principles of how the dog world works and get it under your skin over time AND have a little patience with a dog, for whom it is much more difficult, to do the same.
How easy is it for you to understand a different culture and learn a foreign language, such as Chinese? Now imagine that we want dogs to do all this almost automatically and ideally right away. We can never ask an animal to do that. To be able to communicate with a dog, we first need to understand what his life is based on, what his priorities are and how he "talks". Than we can explain him whatever we want him to do.
Only communication in a language that both sides understands is the right one.
How?
I offer online or face to face sessions outside. individual and group sessions. An English version of my online dog training guide “HOW TO HAVE A SOG” will also be available soon. Stay tuned!
Online sessions via phone & camera (Whatsapp, etc.) are available to help you whenever you need it.
Face-to-face sessions are for those who need personal help with their dog and are dealing with problems they cannot solve on their own. During an individual lesson, I will get to know both of you (= the dog & its people) and recommend how to proceed in a way that makes sense for everyone. During the 90 minutes, we work on both the dog and (primarily) the owner. The dog also has time to relax during the lesson while we address all the questions that need to be answered.
Group sessions are in addition to individual sessions. I will give more detailed info at the individual session.
HOW MUCH?
Face to face session is 1500 CZK and lasts 90 minutes.
For online sessions check the calendar in my booking system.
I will get to know you and your dog and see how you currently work together. We'll talk about what's coming up, what needs to be fixed, and talk about how to work on it so that it makes sense for everyone.
The price for additional group session is 300 CZK and lasts 60 minutes.
Other types of meetings, e.g. sessions somewhere else, are priced individually according to the length of the lesson, distance, etc.
wHERE?
In Prague - individual and group lessons take place mostly in Letná park. However, now I also have trainings in other parks in Prague, it all depends on the number of patients in a given location, so just ask me.
I also organize sessions in some other cities and countries, but more about that in "LOCATIONS" section.

FAQs
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
The answer will be different for each patient. It can take a long time to educate an older, poorly socialized dog, for which the owner has difficulty finding time and the dog most of the time follows its own rules. It may take less time to train a dog whose owner consistently follows my recommendations and uses group training to consolidate newly learned behavior even in the presence of running dogs. Training a puppy that goes through different stages will also look a little different. However, in order to see the changes as soon as possible, I recommend going to a lesson once a week and also to a group lesson once we have set the basics. If this is not possible for time/financial/any other reasons, then at least once every two weeks + some group in between. However, it always depends on the problem you come with and we will make an agreement accordingly. However, in general, the more intensively and consistently you start training your dog, the sooner you will see results. By the way, consistency will be a word that you will hear from me many more times and will play the most important role in training a dog. :)
WHAT TO BRING FOR THE FIRST SESSION?
A dog. And ideally on a well tightened collar. You can tell if the collar is tight by putting two fingers between your dog's neck and the collar, no more. Everything else will be discussed in class, no worries.
What language are the sessions in?
Sessions are available in English or Czech.
