Why I Chose One-to-One Training
At my dog training school in Hamburg, the focus is entirely on one-to-one training – and with good reason.
This decision is based on my firm belief that every dog and every human–dog team is unique.
By taking an individual approach to dog training in Hamburg, I can ensure that you make lasting progress as a team while always feeling confident and supported.
Understanding behaviour means being able to recognise its function for the dog. Dog behaviour is far too often diagnosed rather than analysed.

Individuality Instead of One-Size-Fits-All Solutions
Every dog has their own personality, history, and unique challenges.
In a group setting, it isn’t always possible to address the needs of each individual team, as the trainer’s attention must be divided among several participants.
In one-to-one training in Hamburg, however, the focus is entirely on you.
That means:
-
Tailored solutions: Together, we analyse your needs and create an individual training plan.
-
Focused attention: I can concentrate on the finer details of communication between you and your dog.
-
Flexibility: We work on the topics that truly matter to you, adjusting the pace individually.
At my dog training school in Hamburg, one-to-one training is suitable for everyone – whether you come with a puppy, young dog, or adult dog.
No matter if you share your life with a hunting dog, companion dog, livestock guardian, or herding breed – with me, you’ll find the right support in dog training Hamburg.
Why individual training is ideal for every dog breed and every age
Every dog has their own unique traits and needs – whether shaped by breed, age, or personality. In one-to-one training, I take the time to address these individual aspects.
Whether your dog is just learning to navigate city life, or you’re working on specific challenges such as hunting behaviour or insecurity, my training adapts flexibly to you and your dog.
For puppies and young dogs:
A good start is especially important for young dogs. In my one-to-one puppy training in Hamburg, we lay the foundation for a relaxed life together:
-
House training, learning first cues, and stress-free socialisation
-
Coping with urban stimuli such as cyclists, passers-by, and traffic
-
Individual support to prevent unwanted behaviour from the very beginning
For every breed: hunting dogs, livestock guardian dogs, herding dogs – and all mixed-breed (rescue) dogs.
These groups of dogs often carry strong genetic traits that should be carefully taken into account:
-
Hunting dogs: We focus on giving your dog controlled outlets for their instincts and providing suitable alternatives.
-
Livestock guardian dogs: These dogs need clear structures to guide their protective behaviour in the right direction.
-
Herding dogs: Their intelligence and energy are channelled purposefully in training to ensure they are kept suitably engaged.
For companion and family dogs
Companion and family dogs also benefit greatly from one-to-one training:
-
Improving everyday cues for a harmonious life together
-
Support with challenges such as loose-lead walking or being left alone
-
Building a stable and trusting bond between human and dog
Tailor-made dog training in Hamburg
Unlike group classes, one-to-one training allows for:
-
Targeted support for the topics that matter most to you
-
Faster progress, as we focus on your pace and your needs
-
Deeper learning experiences tailored to your life in Hamburg – whether in the city, the park, or the countryside
Faster and More Sustainable Results
In one-to-one training, you learn more in less time because I can address your specific questions and challenges directly. Many dog owners report that they achieve greater progress after just a few individual sessions than after several group classes. Why?
-
No distractions: Your dog can fully focus on you without being sidetracked by other dogs or participants.
-
Deeper learning experiences: You receive clear, personalised guidance you can implement straight away – and see results more quickly.
-
Sustainable progress: What you and your dog learn is better anchored, because it is tailored specifically to your situation.
Empathy and Emotional Support
From experience, I know how important trust and a good feeling during training are.
In one-to-one sessions, I can focus entirely on you as a team and offer emotional support – especially in challenging situations. Whether it’s about your puppy in Hamburg, an insecure dog, or specific behavioural problems, a personal approach lays the foundation for a harmonious partnership.
Why no group courses?
Group training certainly has its benefits, but for many dog owners it isn’t the most effective solution:
-
General instructions: Group classes often follow a standardised programme that doesn’t always fit your dog’s individual needs.
-
Time investment: Progress in groups is usually slower, as the trainer’s attention is divided among several participants.
-
Stress factors: Some dogs feel overwhelmed in group situations or are stressed by the presence of other dogs, which can reduce learning success.
Who Is One-to-One Training Especially Suitable For?
