Dog school Petra Driesen exists since 1995 and is managed by Petra Driesen. Petra has worked in the animal branch all her life. Apart from the daily routine of giving courses, she is active as a behavioural therapist for small pets. In the past she has been breeding Leonberger dogs. Thanks to many years of experience and the thorough knowledge of the behaviour of small pets, especially the behaviour of dogs, she has earned herself quite a reputation.
Dog school Petra Driesen works with well trained, professional instructors. Our trainees are trained and intensely supervised. Not until they have passed the instructors exam, they are allowed to give lessons independently. This way the quality of the lessons is guaranteed.
Our way of working:
We train the dogs by means of positive reinforcement. Punishment is hardly ever used. With this great way of educating dogs also the behaviour of problem dogs can be changed.
Dog school Petra Driesen gives extensive lessons. All this by using the animal’s motivation. Body language, expression and the use of manual communication are central issues.
In the case of problem-causing behaviour in dogs, the matter is tackled in its entirety by the use of diets, homeopathy, Bach remedies or any other kind of therapy. Together with you we draw up a plan of action. This way we provide a tailor-made job. If necessary we may ask you to consult your vet.
Our dog school is accessible for people with a handicap.
