• Individual seminar: A session lasts 3 hours. Owners dealing with behavior problems at home or in everyday life can join on topics of their choosing and receive coaching support.
• Group training: Held with up to 5 people, 6 hours a day. Dog sport competitors who want to progress in tracking and IPO (obedience and protection), and owners of puppies aged 2–6 months, can also take part.
• Workshop: Held with up to 10 dogs over one or two days, with 6 hours of work each day. The number of participants is not limited.
