dog training

Hundeflo dog training throughout Austria, Germany, South Tyrol and Luxembourg with certified dog trainers. Our goal: to improve your quality of life with your dog.

„Consistency does not mean being strict, but always reacting to an action in the same way.“

Florian
Günther

Based on my many years of experience in various types of dog training for family dogs (including sports, service and hunting training) at home and abroad, I have combined the most effective methods and thus developed a successful system for training dogs – Hundeflo!

We are not a traditional dog school, because we do not train on a dog training ground. We train your dog in everyday life — where the problems occur, through customised dog training throughout Austria, Germany and South Tyrol.

This is based on a clear division of competences between humans and animals, a strong bond with only a conditional feeding method and commands that accommodate the dog’s black and white pattern.

    The Hundeflo-Academy

    What began as a one-man show in Salzburg has developed into an Austria-wide network of professional, mobile dog trainers in recent years.
    At the Hundeflo Academy, I have been passing on my knowledge and experience in dealing with dogs since 2019 and training dog trainers who work on my behalf in Austria and neighbouring Bavaria and South Tyrol after a three-month theoretical and practical course. From Upper Austria to Carinthia, Tyrol to Styria – you will find certified Hundeflo dog trainers in all federal states who will support you in dealing with your four-legged friend and ensure harmonious coexistence between humans and animals.

    In the Hundeflo Shop you will find the right products for your four-legged friend.

    The Hundeflo-Concept

    The aim of Hundeflo dog training in Austria is to improve your quality of life with your four-legged friend. Everyone wants to be stress-free and confident with their dog in every situation.

    Regardless of whether this is the case

    • when walking the dog
    • hiking in the mountains with your dog
    • shopping with the dog
    • swimming with the dog
    • or when travelling by car with the dog

    This is exactly where individualised dog training from Hundeflo comes in. We love, know and understand dogs, which is why we know how important it is to teach them a certain discipline with moderation, purpose and common sense. This usually happens through a reward strategy with “pats” or treats, but consistency is always important.

    The Hundeflo concept is based on showing you how easily you can train your dog to achieve optimum results in the shortest time possible. It is precisely this quick sense of achievement that characterises us as a mobile dog school. Dog training is not as difficult as it may seem. The problem lies in the fact that more and more people are being trained out of their “common sense”. Hundeflo shows you how it works!

    Our approach

    A dog thinks in simple black and white patterns. The clearer the owner’s instructions, the better behaved the dog will be. If the owner is unsure, the four-legged friend recognises this and will sometimes do the same. “Problem dogs” that seem to bite for no reason are therefore the result of misunderstandings.

    The Hundeflo training programme will help dog owners and dogs get through life in a relaxed manner in the future. Mobile dog trainers visit you on site and provide you with targeted support in problem situations.These can be encounters with dogs and other animals, sightings of wild animals in meadows and fields, correct behaviour near cars and on footpaths, but also everyday life or sometimes even at home.

    The
    Hundeflo-Team

    All Hundeflo employees are certified Hundeflo trainers who have successfully completed their training as mobile dog trainers at the Hundeflo Academy.
    A certified dog trainer from Austria analyses the dog and conducts the tests. This guarantees the uniformly high standard of our training programmes and the careful selection of the right specialist for your dog.

    How do dogs
    learn?

    Dogs always take the path of least resistance and greatest advantage. We can take advantage of this behaviour and manipulate the dog accordingly so that it learns.

    The more efficiently and consistently you practice this behaviour, the faster the dog will learn. The perfect combination consists of motivation and coercion. Anything that is not voluntary is practically coercion. This word has a very negative connotation, but on closer inspection it means absolutely nothing negative for the dog. What exactly does coercion mean: if I put the dog on a lead or try to persuade him to cuddle, I am already exerting coercion on my dog. So coercion is not the same as compulsion. This means you can’t successfully carry out non-coercive training, because you wouldn’t be allowed to use leads or collars. What is meant, however, is “mindless coercion”, because this does nothing positive for the dog. But if you use an activating compulsion – for example sit or here if the dog doesn’t want it – then it makes sense. For solid dog training, you need a certain amount of coercion, because otherwise the dog will only do what it wants to do, which is usually not what the owner wants. We ourselves are exposed to constraints every day. A red traffic light or speed limits are also constraints. So: it doesn’t work without coercion, but mindless coercion does nothing for a dog. The important thing here is to use common sense.

    Feeding-
    method

    Customers often come to us and emphasise that they “don’t want to work with food”. This statement is partly understandable, as dogs are often praised for blinking on their own. At Hundeflo, however, your four-legged friends are trained individually, with and/or without food. Treats must not and can never be a trigger for the dog’s obedience. A dog that chases or barks at other dogs will be difficult to train with food. A combination of different motivational measures often leads to the goal, but never one based solely on dog food or treats. At Hundeflo, our dog training in Austria and Germany skilfully and consciously focuses on exactly what your dog needs to enable you and your dog to live together in harmony and without stress. “If you only train using motivation, then you can’t complain if the dog is more motivated by something else.”
