The Maier-Breitsamer Dog School

We help you in training your dog to become a socially compatible partner and teach you how to train your dog as well. Under the guidance of our professional trainers we offer individual or group lessons to learn how to train your dog yourself.
In these training sessions we convey extensive theoretical and practical knowledge about the learning processes of dogs and their behaviour to be able to build a trusting relationship between man and dog.

During individual training sessions we specifically address your needs and those of your dog and give you helpful tips, from basic training of young dogs to solving problems in grown-up dogs. We teach you effective techniques in leading the dog through the handler’s behaviour and sound signals and “body language”. The individual training also teaches your dog to ignore distractions.

All kinds of real-life situations are practised again and again during group sessions (up to app. 6 dogs and owners). These exercises pay special attention to the social interaction of the dogs and also to encouraging your dog to abandon play and come back to you.

You can book individual or group training sessions at our school in 84419 Obertaufkirchen by arrangement according to your wishes any weekday (including Saturday) in the morning and/or the afternoon.

In case of bad weather, the training takes place in our large training hall.

If you don’t want to miss your dog for such a long time, just let us take your four-legged friend for a basic training course lasting app. 3-4 weeks, after which you join us for about 1 week in our guest house HUTEL MAIER to consolidate your dog’s obedience during the daily exercises and also to use your own dog to be instructed and taught yourself. 

Legal advice
- in connection with owning and keeping a dog
- from liability in case of damages to the latest hunting and safety provisions

Training for dog owners (very important !!)
- effective techniques in leading the dog through the handler’s behaviour and sound signals and “body language” to have the dog submit happily without resorting to violence and to achieve a life with you and your family and the world around him that is free of conflicts and based on natural authority
- acquisition of a "Driving License for Dog Owners"

What dog do you take to school, and how old should he be?
We accept any dog, no matter if he is a purebred dog or not, no matter if he is large or small, young or old. We welcome the development to start with training early on. Depending on the level of maturity and activity of your dog, one can already start with a training programme that is tailored to the individual animal between the fourth and sixth month of life. In this case the ideal solution is to come to our HUTEL MAIER for a few days, where we will familiarize you with the right prepared training exercises to set your dog on the right course through play and constant contact with other dogs.

Dogs have the great gift of being able to learn and adjust at any age. You will be amazed at how well your four-legged friend can still readjust even at an “advanced age” with the right leadership and instructions. The best age for basic training is between 10 and 20 months (small dogs earlier, larger and great big dogs are late developers)
