Welcome to Hundeskool Dog Training and Boarding.
We focus on training with respect, consistency & trust. We strive to strengthen the bond between you and teach proper balanced training techniques through operant conditioning. Our goal is a lifelong partnership with you and your pet and to give you the skill set to continue on with dog and any future dogs.
The American Kennel Club (AKC) is offering a new Trick Dog titling category with 4 levels allowing dogs with any amount of experience to participate. Teaching dog tricks is enjoyable for you, mentally stimulating for your dogs and can take place at any time or place that fits your lifestyle.
If your dog already has Canine Good Citizen, you are already halfway to your Novice Trick Dog title!
There is an application fee for each level to AKC so keep that in mind.
This is great alternative for your timid or dog reactive dogs. Not every dog gets along with other dogs and won't be able to participate in the AKC CGC test but for owners who still enjoy training and having a close relationship to their dogs have now the opportunity to still earn some AKC titles. The Trick Dog program one of those opportunities.
UPCOMING AKC CGC TESTING (by request)
No matter if you have a purebred and not so purebred dog, we will help you to register with AKC or the AKC PAL program (non-purebred dogs).
Test Fee $45 (does not guarantee passing) + AKC Fee or AKC certificate fee.
Pre-registration is required. Contact us
to get your sign-up sheet.
If a dog shows aggression towards any other dog or person, you will be not able to continue the test. Sorry, AKC rules.

It’s never too late to teach an old dog new tricks, and we believe it’s never too late to train any pet or owner. Our services are designed with you and your pet in mind, and we will be working as much with you as with your animal.
Over these years we have trained companion and working dogs in both the US and Germany, and gathered over 28 years of professional dog training experience in obedience, detection, Search & Rescue.
We've attended and will continue to attend training seminars and certification courses to improve our knowledge and skills. We are certified as AKC Evaluators, members of APDT (Association of Professional Dog Trainers), C.L.A.S.S. instructors and evaluators, certified members of NNDDA (National Narcotics Detector Dog Association), AKC performance judge and NACSW judge. Continuous education is very important to us. Knowledge of canine behavior and training methods has changed a lot over the past 20 years, some good, some bad but we strive to locate as much new information as possible so we can integrate the good and weed out the bad.
AKC CGC & more...
The AKC's Canine Good Citizen® (CGC) Program is a public education and outreach program.to fit your pet’s needs and your lifestyle.
The Canine Good Citizen Program is a two-part program that stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs. All dogs who pass the 10-step CGC test may receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club.
Balanced Training
We offers several different courses to fit your needs. All training sessions except for "Boarding Skool" will be private and held at our location and other public locations like parks, downtown, neighborhoods.
We train with motivation by shaping and marking the desired behavior or command. While corrections certainly have a place in training, they should never be used unfairly.
Professional Training
One of our main focuses is detection. We work with skilled training to cover all areas of professional K9 training.
- Arson Detection (Roger)
- Narcotics Detection (Vicky & Stefan)
- Full Patrol (Stefan)
Please contact us for more information.
AKC CGC, CGCA & CGCU (Public Access Test) $45
Not every client wants to participate in the CGC classes but has the skills to train their dog on their own.
We will be happy to schedule any CGC test for you. The CGC is the foundation and has to be passed prior to attempting the CGC Community Canine and/or the CGC Urban Public Access.
The tests are $45 each and does not guarantee passing of the test if not all 10 test points were checked off.
Additional AKC fees apply for certificate and/or title.
Ribbon is incl. upon passing the test, however any medals or rosettes can be requested in addition.
Passing the Urban CGC test or Canine Good Citizen test does not make a dog a service dog or emotional support dog. A key distinction of service or emotional support dogs is that the owner/handler has a disability. It is unethical to misrepresent a pet dog as a service or emotional support animal.
