Welcome to Dogschool Axarquia
At Dogschool Axarquía, we believe that dog training should be enjoyable, practical and rewarding – for both you and your dog.
Every dog is different, and so is every owner. That’s why we keep our groups small, giving us the time to work with you individually while still enjoying the benefits of training together.
We use positive, reward-based training and focus on the things that really matter in everyday life: communication, confidence, self-control and building a strong relationship with your dog.
From puppies taking their first steps in training to young dogs, obedience and agility, our aim is simple: to help you understand your dog better and to make training something you both look forward to.
We train at our fully fenced training field in Cómpeta, in the heart of the Axarquía.
Small groups. Personal attention. Positive training. And above all, happy dogs.
Why Dogs act the way they do…
All my life, dogs have been part of my life. After years of working in healthcare, I decided to follow my heart. I chose Renz as a dog, an German Shepherd. From that moment on, I didn't want anything else. He told me a lot with his behavior and woke up what I really wanted in life: learning more about the behavior of dogs.
During my training as a kynological instructor, I discovered many similarities between the dog and us as humans. That only sparked my passion to learn even more about the behavior of dogs. It led to the start of Dogschool Axarquia
The right incentives at the right time…
From puppy to adolescent puppy
The time has come! Your puppy is allowed on puppy course. Every puppy from 7 weeks can socialize in a group full of energetic and enthusiastic puppies. We start so young, because this benefits the upbringing of your puppy. So don't wait too long, because between the 7th and 12th week of the your puppy is in a period of socialization. Puppys are then best able to learn how to deal with people and animals. Around the 12th week, this period has ended and it is more difficult to raise your puppy in it.
Social house dog…
For everyone, a social house dog means something different. For one, that's a quiet dog lying next to you on the couch in the evening. For the other, that is a dog that deals with the children in a safe way (and vice versa). A course for social house dog is intended to further socialize your dog, so that he becomes part of the family.
