About ÖRV HSV Bad Vöslau

ÖRV HSV Bad Vöslau is a non-profit dog sports club with a training ground at Energiestraße 1 next to the municipal depot. The programme includes puppy and young dog courses, obedience, rescue dog work, rally obedience and hoopers, on five days a week.

The courses

• Puppy course: reading body language, controlled contact with other puppies, first basics such as sit, down and recall, calmness training including crate training, and different surfaces. There is a separate phone number for the puppy course.
• Young dog course: consolidates the basic commands, practises loose-lead walking and heelwork with distractions and prepares for the companion dog test (BH-Prüfung).
• Obedience: basic obedience with off-lead heelwork, stay exercises, recall and impulse control.
• Rescue dogs: the dog learns to use its nose to search specifically for missing persons and to indicate the find. There is also equipment training and practice in unfamiliar places.
• Rally obedience: a course on which signs indicate the next basic obedience exercise.
• Hoopers: the handler directs the dog from a distance through hoops, barrels, tunnels and gates. According to the club, it suits dogs of any age and size, as long as the dog likes to run and can be let off the lead.
