Frequently asked questions

Do you also work online?
No. To assess your dog, I need to see him live — from a distance where even subtle signs are visible. That’s not possible over a webcam.
I do, however, offer online coaching for you, such as individual sessions
How long does the process take?
What does it cost on average?
The free initial conversation is free.
Your first session is CHF 150.
Coaching sessions cost CHF 120.
Where do you work (region)?
Wherever the problem shows up: at your home, in your neighbourhood, in town, in the forest. No training ground.
Service area: Zug plus a radius of around 40 km. This includes Zug, Baar, Steinhausen, Cham, Hünenberg, Risch/Rotkreuz, Neuheim, Ober- and Unterägeri, Walchwil, as well as parts of Lucerne (Rontal), Aargau (Freiamt), Schwyz (Arth, Goldau, Schwyz, Brunnen), and Zurich (Knonauer Amt, left lakeshore up to Enge).
From 30 minutes of travel time, I charge a flat travel fee.
Does my dog need any prior training?
No. Your dog can be exactly who he is..
We’re not running an obedience test. It’s about the natural interaction between you and your dog.
Do you work with all breeds?
Yes — breed makes no difference to my work. It’s not about the dog, it’s about the relationship between you.
What I DON’T do: dogs with serious anxiety or aggression issues (I’m not a behaviour therapist)..
What if my dog is anxious around strangers?
Perfect! That’s when the patterns show up most clearly.
We’ll choose a location and an approach that’s safe for your dog. Your dog doesn’t need to «perform» — his behaviour is our source of information.
Can I come to you without my dog?
For the first session: no — your dog needs to be there so I can observe both of you. That’s why I come to you.
For coaching sessions, it depends on what we’re working on. We’ll clarify that beforehand.
Do you also offer group courses?
What sets you apart from other dog trainers?
I’m not just a dog trainer. I’m also a coach for people.
That means: I don’t just observe the dog — I observe both of you.
More on this on the philosophy page and here, about me.
How can I prepare?
What happens if it's not the right fit?
Then I’ll tell you — honestly and directly.
In the free initial conversation, I might tell you: «I don’t think my approach is right for you.» In that case, I’ll recommend someone else.
In the first session: if you feel after 30 minutes that it’s not working, we’ll stop there, and you’ll only pay half.
