Doggy Education: Inside Germany's Hundeschule Culture

Did you know that dogs in Germany also go to school?

In Germany, dog schools, known as “Hundeschule” in German, are establishments that offer training and education for dogs and their owners. These schools focus on promoting responsible dog ownership, fostering a strong bond between dogs and their handlers, and addressing behavioral issues. The training programs typically cover basic obedience commands, socialization skills, and sometimes advanced training for specific activities or sports.

Dog schools in Germany may vary in their approach, but many emphasize positive reinforcement techniques, using rewards to encourage desired behaviors. Professional trainers often lead classes, providing guidance to owners on effective communication with their dogs.

Dogs that have attended school are allowed to travel freely on public transportation, such as trains and planes. In addition, this can reduce anxiety in dogs, significantly decreasing the chances of dogs injuring people or getting into fights with other dogs.

In the comments section, we have attached a YouTube video from the German BR television station about dog schools.

你知道嗎？在德國狗狗也要去上學。

在德國，狗學校被稱為“Hundeschule”，這些學校提供狗和其主人的培訓和教育。 這些學校著重於促進負責任的狗主人關係，培養狗和主人之間的緊密聯繫，並解決行為問題。 訓練課程通常涵蓋基本的服從命令、社交技能，有時還包括針對特定活動或運動的高級訓練。

德國的狗學校可能在方法上有所不同，但許多強調正面強化技術，使用獎勵來鼓勵期望的行為。 專業的培訓師通常會領導課程，為主人提供如何與他們的狗有效溝通的指導。

上過學的狗狗可以自由的搭乘公共交通工具，如火車和飛機等。此外這樣也可以減少狗狗的焦慮情緒，大大減少了狗狗傷人和互相打架的几率。
