The programme ranges from puppy school and the Lower Austrian Sachkunde course to gundog training and hoopers, plus one-to-one training for problem dogs and a training camp in Waldegg.

Courses from puppy to city dog

• Puppy school: from the 12th week of life, with basic vaccinations and worming. In groups of about six dogs the focus is on basic cues, being left alone, muzzle training and outings in town and forest. According to the website you can join at any time; the standard course with ten 90-minute sessions costs 450 euros.

Sachkunde under the Lower Austrian dog-keeping act

Anyone registering a dog in Lower Austria needs proof of general Sachkunde (basic knowledge of dog ownership). At the indoor dog school it takes three hours: one hour with vet Mag. Verena Senoner and two hours with trainer Andrea Klune. It costs 75 euros; according to the website the next date is 28 November 2026, 16 to 19:15. For dogs with an increased risk potential, such as Rottweilers or American Staffordshire Terriers, there is the extended Sachkunde with four hours of theory and six hours of practice for 300 euros.

One-to-one training and training camp

For lead pulling, fear or intolerance of other dogs, Alexander Minnich works one-to-one, wherever the problem occurs, or at the training camp in Waldegg. According to the price list, a home visit costs 140 euros per hour. Dogs go to the camp for at least one week.
