Theory course for (new) dog owners (English)
Learning theory, dog behavior, health, law, training and all other questions
For future dog owners and dog owners who already have a four-legged friend and would like to learn more about learning theory, dog behavior, health, law, training and all other questions.
Theoretical knowledge is a basic requirement for harmonious coexistence with our four-legged friends.
Although the SKN certificate of competence theory course has no longer been mandatory for new dog owners in Switzerland since January 2017, we recommend our three-hour theory course to every dog lover. A theory course is also expected to become compulsory again in 2022. We will also be happy to issue certificates retroactively should the compulsory course be reintroduced soon. Above all, we look forward to exchanging ideas and answering any questions you may have.
