our philosophy
Meuri`s mental Dog Art
Our method is unlike any other. You'll quickly realize how logical it is. The dog doesn't have to learn our way of thinking—which is very difficult for him—but rather you learn to understand his very simple, yet highly functional, way of thinking. The dog is trained to be independent, which means you can rely on him much more in all situations. Chasing, aggression, and other behaviors automatically lose their appeal, making life with your dog considerably easier. We don't work with obedience training, so there are no treats, commands, or distractions for the dog. We demonstrate everything to the dog in a trust-building way until he does it himself. We teach the dog everything in such a way that a situation that could break his trust never arises. Our method will require a change in mindset for you at first, but you'll quickly realize the significant advantages it brings for both you and your dog. When you learn to show the dog everything within his own way of thinking, he will fulfill all your requests much faster and better.
This method is very cleverly tailored to the dog, but at the same time, it makes training your beloved dog much more pleasant and easier for women. Once you learn to work with it, you'll master the art of mental dog training. You'll suddenly be able to influence things you couldn't even imagine before. When we show you how the dog adapts its behavior to us instantly within minutes, you'll wonder how that's possible. Violence and pressure have no place in dog training. Unfortunately, they are still omnipresent, especially hidden pressure, and treats won't change that. You'll see it everywhere every day once you know what it means to truly work without violence and pressure. You'll say to yourself, "My God, I really did do it like that before."
Anyone who tries to force their dog to walk nicely on a leash will never have a dog that walks willingly and happily alongside them.
The gentle way leads to the goal.
Juri the Wolfhound
Juri's owner came to us when he was about 12 months old. She had already consulted several dog trainers, but unfortunately, the problems worsened rather than improved. Obedience training was used. A wolfhound is very difficult to train; he resists with all his might, which is extremely exhausting for the owner.
Juri tried to dominate everything that came his way, no matter what it was. I explained to his owner that we only had a chance with Juri if she learned to work with him in a trusting and respectful way. Since it was impossible to work with this dog in a group setting, we first had a few private lessons. When the time was right, I accompanied them both to a group session with my daughter twice. Then I was convinced that they could now work there on their own. Juri and his owner have now attended seven group sessions on their own.
She recently went camping in Sweden with her dog. The fact that her dog and cat would one day sleep together on the sofa like that was something her owner had never even dreamed of; before, they couldn't even be in the same room. I want to express my respect for her. From the very beginning, she was disciplined and always tried to implement what we taught her. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible.
Juri's owner informed us that she can now take him to the chickens without a leash, great!!
Der Dobermann
Many years ago, an elderly gentleman asked us for help with his 12-month-old Doberman. Until then, he had been attending a dog training school specializing in Dobermans once or twice a week. His dog was very insecure and also very aggressive towards anything that moved.
We told him he was welcome to come and live with us, but he had to understand that he would have to take a completely different approach with us. Because he loved his dog, he was willing to start from scratch. And indeed, he did everything he could to learn. Soon, he saw initial progress, and the two of them grew closer and closer as a team. With our guidance, he managed to transform this aggressive dog into one he could do anything with.
When the dog was about six years old, the man unfortunately became seriously ill. He tried everything to keep the dog, but eventually had to find him a new home. He quickly found someone who had owned Dobermans before. He asked the new owner to visit us for an hour to see how the dog was trained. The man did this, but he also made it clear that he wasn't interested in learning more about the dog, as he was an experienced Doberman owner.
About three months later, the former owner's daughter called us. She asked if we knew what had happened to the Doberman. We said no and asked what was going on. The woman told us that the dog had been euthanized because the new owner had said the Doberman was extremely aggressive.
Love and evil are so closely intertwined.
This dog had to die because a person was unwilling to ask themselves what they were doing wrong that caused the dog to react this way.

With us, you'll learn to walk beautifully on a leash with your dog in no time. Leash walking is a key focus for us. The goal is for your dog to enjoy walking on a leash with you. You can see in the video how Odin shows his owner that he wants to walk on a leash too. Once you've learned to walk harmoniously on a leash with your dog, you'll love it, and so will your dog. Clients often tell us, "My dog walks so beautifully on a leash now," even though we didn't spend a single minute practicing leash walking at your dog training school. Only a dog that walks willingly on a leash with you has the right bond, and only then can you truly communicate with each other.
