About ÖRV HSV Baden – Hundeausbildung

ÖRV HSV Baden is a non-profit dog training and dog sports club with its own training ground at Zubringerstraße 64 in Baden. Training runs all year round, from puppy course to companion dog, plus agility and rally obedience; the board and trainers work on a voluntary basis.

Courses and training

• Puppy course: from eight weeks to about five months, depending on size and temperament. The focus is on socialisation, with first exercises added in a playful way.
• Young dog course: the bridge for dogs that have outgrown the puppy course but are not yet ready for the basic course.
• Basic course for family and companion dogs: everyday exercises such as heel, sit, down and stand, from about ten months. If you wish, the course ends with an exam.
• Rally obedience: a course in which signs indicate which exercise comes next.
• Agility: an obstacle course in which faults and time count, similar to show jumping. The club hosted agility tournaments for years; the website documents them up to 2021.
• One-to-one training: by arrangement with the trainer, mainly for special dog sports and for legally required certificates such as the Lower Austrian proof of competence (NÖ-Sachkunde). Course operations take priority.

According to the club, groups should have no more than four to five teams and are divided by age and size. You can join at any time, and training takes place all year round.
