The puppy training (3 - 5 months) is the foundation for a good coexistence with our four-legged companions.
In the courses, basic commands are learned in a playful way and the bond with the dog handler is built up.
Behavior in a group, playing with peers and many other things are taught in this course!

The young dog course builds on the puppy course, which means the basic commands are consolidated. Everyday situations (encounter with other dogs, traffic-related situations such as pedestrians, cyclists, calls from the group, ...) are simulated and practiced.
At the end of the course there is a small exam.

Companion dog test with traffic section (BH / VT) preparation
The basis for the BH / VT is footwork and basic obedience. In this test, in addition to the obedience, the roadworthiness (cyclists, car drivers, other dogs, joggers, ...) is checked. Every dog handler should complete this test with his dog.
Proof of competence is a prerequisite for the examination.

Retriever Basic Exam (RBP 1-4) preparation
The Retriever Basic Exam is an exam offered by the ÖRC in four levels of difficulty. The individual tasks include all the basics that are important for the retriever. Preparation and testing are offered by all training centers.

The obedience and retrieval test is offered by the ÖRC and recognized by the ÖKV in three levels of difficulty. The focus of this test is subordination and basic obedience as well as retrieval-typical retrieval work. Preparation and testing are offered by all training centers.

Dummy training at the training place and in the field
Dummy training (retrieving) is offered especially for our retriever breeds at the training station and in various areas (open terrain).
Whether to prepare for exams (working test, ..) or simply to keep the retriever busy in a breed typical way.
The training is offered individually or in small groups.

Hunting training

The courses cover all levels of training from beginners to hunting exams (AF / R, JBP / R, BLP, BTR, VGP, SSP / SPoR). For more detailed information, please contact the regional group leader.

Ring training for exhibitions
For the right presentation at national and international exhibitions, we have experienced trainers who show you how to put your retriever in the "right light". These trainings only take place on request via the regional group management.
