Herzlich willkommen bei der nach § 11 TierSchG zertifizierten Hundeschule "DGHunde" in Düsseldorf
Sie haben einen süßen Welpen bei sich aufgenommen und möchten von Anfang an die Erziehung in richtige Bahnen lenken? Sie haben einem Tierschutzhund ein neues Zuhause gegeben? Leider hat er Ihren Schuhbestand sichtbar reduziert? Ihr Hund hat Probleme mit seiner Umwelt? Ist ängstlich? Hat Angst vor Männern, oder anderen Hunden? Ihr Hund langweilt sich? Nach einem zweistündigen Spaziergang ist Ihr Hund immer noch nicht müde und will spielen? Sie suchen Ideen für Auslastung und Beschäftigung?
Dann sind Sie bei DGHunde – Schule genau richtig.
Den richtigen Erziehungsweg für Ihren Hund zu finden ist im Dschungel von Hundebüchern, Internetquellen, DVDs für den Hundehalter nicht einfach. Umso wichtiger ist es, einen kompetenten Partner in Sachen Hundeerziehung, Haltung und Auslastung zu finden. Ich und mein Team begleiten Sie qualifiziert in Sachen Hundeausbildung, Verhaltenstraining, Beschäftigung-/ Auslastungstraining und beraten Sie in allen Fragen rund um Ihren Hund. Mit unserer Unterstützung werden Sie Ihren Vierbeiner besser lesen und verstehen lernen und somit auch gezielter auf seine Bedürfnisse eingehen können. Egal, ob bei Ihnen zu Hause oder draußen, der Umgang in Konfliktsituationen oder der Aufbau von Basisgehorsam: bei uns sind Sie immer richtig aufgehoben. Gerade an die Welpen-Besitzer, speziell Ersthund-Besitzer, richten wir unsere Botschaft, von Anfang an Grenzen und Tabus festzulegen und diese auf dem Erziehungsweg konsequent einzuhalten. Sie werden bei uns weder „wattebauschige“ Empfehlungen noch absurde Hilfsmethoden vermittelt bekommen. Wir beweisen Ihnen, dass man mit einer „leichten aber konsequenten Hand“ den Hund besser führen kann. Als ausgebildete und zertifizierte Tierpsychologien mit dem Schwerpunkt „Hund“ leite ich die durch den VDTT (Verein der Tierpsychologen und Tiertrainer e.V) anerkannte Hundeschule in Düsseldorf-Süd. Meine / unsere Arbeit wird durch fortlaufende Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen, unserem Einsatz in Tierschutzthemen und unseres Engagement in Präventionsthemen „Kind & Hund“ begleitet. Was die DGHunde – Schule auszeichnet sind die Kurse in kleinen Gruppen, die Welpenspielgruppen auf eigenem eingezäunten Gartengelände, die individuelle Kundenberatung und ein breites Angebot an Auslastungskursen. Natürlich wissen wir über die einzelnen Hunderassen, auch die seltenen, gut Bescheid. Bei uns ist jeder Willkommen, der von uns und mit uns über die wunderbaren Vierbeiner mehr erfahren möchte. Wir geben unser Wissen an Sie immer klar und gut verständlich weiter, so dass Sie die Trainingsumfänge im Alltag gut umsetzen können. Wir motivieren Hunde, aber vor allem auch die Hundehalter an Verhaltensänderungen zu arbeiten.
Im Dezember 2014 haben ich (Dorothea Gawol) durch ein zertifiziertes Prüfungsverfahren die behördliche Anerkennung als Sachverständige nach § 4 Abs. 1 DVO LHundG durch das Landesamt für Natur, Umwelt und Verbraucherschutz (LANUV NRW) erlangt.
Die Befähigung als Sachverständige umfasst:
- Anerkennung zur Durchführung von Verhaltensprüfung nach § 4 DVO LHundG NRW
- Anerkennung zur Erteilung von Sachkundebescheinigungen gem. § 2 DVO LHundG NRW
Das bedeutet, dass ich befähigt bin, die Abnahme der Sachkundeprüfung und Erteilung der Sachkundebescheinigung für Besitzer großer Hunde nach § 11 Abs. 3 LHundG NRW und Hunde bestimmter Rassen nach § 10 Abs. 3 und die Verhaltensprüfung (Wesenstest) für Hunde "bestimmter Rassen" nach § 10 Abs. 2 LHundG durchzuführen.

2,000 Dog Names
Naming Your Puppy
The name you choose says as much about you as it does about your dog. It shows how you view your dog and your relationship with it. Some names can cause people to judge a dog and react positively or negatively/fearfully when meeting it. Depending on whether the dog is a pet, therapy dog, search & rescue dog, tracking dog or any other dog that works with the public, it is important to use a name that conveys the proper image. Happy searching!
The most popular dog name in North America is Sam, Sammie or Samantha (which means "listener"). The second most popular is Max, Maxie, Maxwell or Maxine (which means "the greatest" in Latin). Third is Lady, followed by Bear, Maggie, Buddy, Tasha, Chelsea (or Chelsie), Holly and Shasta. Other very popular names are Brandy, Ginger and Taffy.

ThunderShirt Has Been A Success With Our Cases

Amazed And Thankful For ThunderShirt
I honestly did not believe that the ThunderShirt could possibly help our little Ike, he is 8 years old. A 5lb toy fox terrier who is always on edge, I think he sleeps with one eye open. Storms really scare him, he pants and shakes and hides behind anything he can find. I decided we didn't have anything to lose. I didn't want to drug him, so with great hesitation, I bought him a ThunderShirt. My son even came in - and Ike usually acts like he is going to tear him up. He didn't even raise his head! I am totally amazed and thankful for ThunderShirt.
I RECOMMEND ThunderShirt!
I use a ThunderShirt on my own dog. I LOVE THEM!! I recommend ThunderShirt to many clients.
The Change Was Amazing!
I ordered your ThunderShirt for my Italian Greyhound foster Colin - he has huge separation anxiety issues. From the moment I got it on him, the change was amazing! He was content, even to the point of just laying on the doggie bed. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I have to admit, I had my doubts that a shirt could make a difference – but with what I witnessed last evening and this AM when I left for work – wow. Amazed, agog, incredulous all come to mind. I am a believer!

Description
The Bernese Mountain Dog is a large, strong, sturdy, agile dog. The body is slightly longer than it is tall. The broad head is flat on the top with a moderate stop. The muzzle is strong and straight. The teeth meet in a scissors bite. The medium-sized, triangular ears are set high and rounded at the tip. The straight legs are strong. The bushy tail is carried low. Dewclaws are often removed. The feet are round with arched toes. The weather-resistant coat is moderately long, thick and slightly wavy or straight. The dog is tricolor with symmetrical markings of black, rust and white. The base of the dog is black. The dog has a white blaze on the chest and white on the head, toes and tip of the tail. Rust is on the cheeks reaching to the corners of the mouth, over each eye, on each side of the chest, on all four legs and underneath the tail.
Temperament
These cheerful dogs love children. They are very intelligent, easy to train and are natural watchdogs, but not overly dominant. A Bernese Mountain Dog will be your friend for life. Self-confident, alert and good-natured, be sure to socialize well as a puppy. These dogs are slow to mature, acting like puppies longer than other breeds. They are rather friendly with strangers, and are generally good with other pets and dogs. The Bernese needs to be with people and not confined to the backyard or a kennel. These dogs are sensitive and should be trained firmly, but gently. Owners will only run into issues with this dog if they are not displaying natural leadership towards the dog, treating him more like their baby and lacking in the knowledge as to what dogs instinctually need to be stable minded. Owners who fail to convince the dog humans are alpha may find themselves with a totally different dog than what is described above. For a dog to feel secure it needs to clearly know the rules so they can be followed, thriving in structure, along with a daily pack walk to satisfy its instinct to migrate. The Bernese Mountain Dog was bred for draft work and can be trained to pull a cart or wagon.
Height, Weight
Height: Males 24 - 28 inches (61 – 71 cm) Females 23 - 27 inches (58 – 69 cm)
Weight: Males 85 - 110 pounds (38 – 50 kg) Females 80 - 105 pounds (36 – 48 kg)
Health Problems
The Bernese Mountain Dog is prone to bloat, cancer and eyelid problems, hip and elbow dysplasia. Gains weight easily. Do not overfeed. Prone to mast cell tumors.
Living Conditions
Bernese Mountain Dogs are not recommended for apartment life. They are relatively inactive indoors and will do best with at least a large, fenced-in yard. Because of their thick coats they are sensitive to the heat and would much rather be in cold temperatures.
Large active dogs such as these need regular exercise, which includes a long daily walk.
Life Expectancy
About 6-8 years. The average lifespan of the Bernese has decreased in recent years from 10-12 years to 6-8 years. The BMD Club of America did a health survey in 2000 with 1,322 dogs. The average age of death was 7.2 years. Cancer is unfortunately a very large part of the Berner world and many Berners die young. One source states "I know of several that died of cancer at 3-4 years old and one that died two days before his 2nd birthday. The BMD Club of America is aggressively researching this cancer issue! We must see if we can end this sad situation."
Litter Size
Varies from 1 - 14 puppies, average 8
Daily to weekly brushing of the long thick coat is important, with extra care needed when the coat is shedding. Bathe or dry shampoo as necessary. This breed is a seasonal, heavy shedder.
The Bernese Mountain dog originated in the Swiss mountains. Many 18th century paintings show dogs that look like a Bernese type dog. The breed was named for the Canton of Bern in Switzerland. They were working dogs particularly good at draft work, pulling carts to market. They also were used to drive dairy cattle, to watch over the farm and as companions to the farmers. By the end of the 19th century many other working dogs were being imported to Switzerland, which brought the numbers of the Bernese down as workers began to use other types of dogs. An effort was made by a group of people including Professor Albert Heim and Franz Schertenleib to preserve the breed. They went around finding what remaining dogs they could in order to stabilize the Bernese. Today the breed makes a wonderful companion and they still to this day enjoy whatever draft work you can give them. The breed’s talents are tracking, herding, watch, guarding, search and rescue, carting and competitive obedience.

Movement of pets
The adoption of harmonised rules on travelling with pets has made it easier for EU citizens and their dogs, cats or ferrets to enjoy the freedom of movement within the Union. This significant step was made possible by dramatic advances made in the fight against rabies.
For movement between EU countries or from non-EU countries vaccination against rabies documented in the pet passport or the animal health certificate is the sole requirement for dogs, cats and ferrets to travel across EU borders, with certain exceptions.
The Dogs of the Navy SEALs
When U.S. President Barack Obama went to Fort Campbell, Kentucky earlier for a highly publicized, but very private meeting with the commando team that killed Osama bin Laden, only one of the 81 members of the super-secret SEAL DevGru unit was identified by name: Cairo, the war dog. Cairo, like most canine members of the elite U.S. Navy SEALs, is a Belgian Malinois. The Malinois breed is similar to German shepherds but smaller and more compact, with an adult male weighing in the 30-kilo range.
Belgian Malinois Navy SEAL Dog
German shepherds are still used as war dogs by the American military but the lighter, stubbier Malinois is considered better for the tandem parachute jumping and rappelling operations often undertaken by SEAL teams. Labrador retrievers are also favoured by various military organizations around the world.
Like their human counterparts, the dog SEALs are highly trained, highly skilled, highly motivated special ops experts, able to perform extraordinary military missions by Sea, Air and Land (thus the acronym). The dogs carry out a wide range of specialized duties for the military teams to which they are attached: With a sense of smell 40 times greater than a human’s, the dogs are trained to detect and identify both explosive material and hostile or hiding humans. The dogs are twice as fast as a fit human, so anyone trying to escape is not likely to outrun Cairo or his buddies.
The dogs, equipped with video cameras, also enter certain danger zones first, allowing their handlers to see what’s ahead before humans follow. As I mentioned before, SEAL dogs are even trained parachutists, jumping either in tandem with their handlers or solo, if the jump is into water. Last year canine parachute instructor Mike Forsythe and his dog Cara set the world record for highest man-dog parachute deployment, jumping from more than 30,100 feet up – the altitude transoceanic passenger jets fly at. Both Forsythe and Cara were wearing oxygen masks and skin protectors for the jump. Here’s a photo from that jump, taken by Andy Anderson for K9 Storm Inc. (more about those folks shortly).
As well, the dogs are faithful, fearless and ferocious – incredibly frightening and efficient attackers. When the SEAL DevGru team (usually known by its old designation, Team 6) hit bin Laden’s Pakistan compound on May 2, Cairo ‘s feet would have been four of the first on the ground. And like the human SEALs, Cairo was wearing super-strong, flexible body Armour and outfitted with high-tech equipment that included “doggles” – specially designed and fitted dog goggles with night-vision and infrared capability that would even allow Cairo to see human heat forms through concrete walls.
Now where on earth would anyone get that kind of incredibly niche hi-tech doggie gear? From Winnipeg, of all places. Jim and Glori Slater’s Manitoba hi-tech mom-and-pop business, K9 Storm Inc., has a deserved worldwide reputation for designing and manufacturing probably the best body Armour available for police and military dogs. Working dogs in 15 countries around the world are currently protected by their K9 Storm body Armour.
Highest Man-Dog Parachute Deployment
Jim Slater was a canine handler on the Winnipeg Police Force when he crafted a Kevlar protective jacket for his own dog, Olaf, in the mid-1990s. Soon Slater was making body Armour for other cop dogs, then the Canadian military and soon the world. The standard K9 Storm vest also has a load-bearing harness system that makes it ideal for tandem rappelling and parachuting.
Airborne Dog Enjoying a Tandem Jump
And then there are the special hi-tech add-ons that made the K9 Storm especially appealing to the U.S. Navy SEALs, who bought four of K9 Storm Inc.’s top-end Intruder “canine tactical assault suits” last year for $86,000. You can be sure Cairo was wearing one of those four suits when he jumped into bin Laden’s lair.
Here’s an explanation of all the K9 Storm Intruder special features:
K9 Storm Body Armour
Just as the Navy SEALS and other elite special forces are the sharp point of the American military machine, so too are their dogs at the top of a canine military hierarchy. In all, the U.S. military currently has about 2,800 active-duty dogs deployed around the world, with roughly 600 now in Afghanistan and Iraq. Several of the photos I have included here are from Foreign Policy, as you will see. Other photos are from K9 Storm Inc.
Air Assault Dogs
As for the ethics of sending dogs to war, that’s pretty much a moot point, don’t you think? If it’s ethical to send humans into combat, then why not dogs? The U.S. now treats its war dogs as full members of the military.
