The handler’s course.

The dog knows its training. You need to learn it too.

Hans’s original purchase page explains the handler’s course as instruction for the person receiving a trained dog. Its purpose is to help the new owner understand the dog’s existing commands and the way it has been trained.

The course is also part of the handoff: the dog and its new handler learn to work together. It is relevant to experienced handlers as well as people receiving their first trained dog.

What the original course covers

• How to pronounce and deliver the commands the dog knows.
• The meaning of commands and hand signals.
• The handling routines and training approach used with that dog.
• Questions about the dog’s new home and everyday life.

Make the arrangements for your dog.

Ask Hans about the current location, length of instruction, travel and follow-up. The durations, fees and offers in the old purchase page are historical; confirm the details before making plans.
