Everything you learn in the VIP Dogs Academy provides the optimal foundation to overcome all obstacles in your everyday life. Whether your dog is fearful, reacts aggressively in encounters, struggles with separation anxiety, or becomes disengaged during walks, these are just some of the issues you can address with the help of the VIP Dogs Academy.

No, you don't have to, although I recommend it in any case (if your dog likes them). In any case, you will learn a training and life approach with your dog that utilizes reward-based methods tailored to their needs, and it does not involve corrections, fear, startle, or pain. If your dog doesn't (yet) take treats, you will still learn ways to reward them according to their needs.

The VIP Dogs Academy is a group program that is supervised by Tina and her team. There is a group within the member area where you can exchange ideas and ask questions. Tina is committed to ensuring that you can make the most of the course for yourself and your dog. That's why you will receive direct feedback on your questions. At the same time, Tina believes that exchanging ideas is important. By considering the questions of others, you will gain a deeper understanding of your dog, the exercises, and the connections.

No, you don't have to. As a bonus content, you will have a short meditation course before the start of the Academy to make it easy for you to use them. Through the meditations, you will build a deeper connection with yourself and your dog and quickly dissolve limiting beliefs and behavioral patterns that negatively impact you and your dog.

You have access to all content until 6 months after the course has started. The supported period ends 8 weeks after the beginning of the course.

The VIP Dogs Academy is a group coaching program where you don't have the opportunity to be coached 1-on-1 by Tina. However, you can utilize the group in the members area for guidance and support.

No, you do not need any prior experience to participate in the VIP Dogs Academy. The Academy is designed for dog owners of all experience levels. Whether you have previous dog training experience or are completely new to it, the content will help you strengthen your bond with your dog and acquire new skills. Tina and her team will guide and support you step by step.

You just need an open mind.

You should allocate approximately one hour per day or per lesson. The implementation of almost all content takes place in your daily life and during your walks with your dog. The lessons are unlocked from Monday to Friday, but you can also watch them later, for example, on weekends or beyond the 8-week period. Your access to all content will remain available until 6 months after the course has started.

As a long-time trainer for dogs and coach for people, I am often speechless when I hear about training offerings from my clients and followers. Based on long-refuted assumptions, superficial and not very effective. And unfortunately, the online course world is filled with absurd stories where positive training is primarily a marketing term. Skepticism is therefore completely normal, and to some extent, even healthy.

Because every training you use for yourself and your dog influences your relationship and your quality of life. That's why it is even more important to really know what to expect.

If you are not living harmoniously and truly relaxed with your dog, it is not due to your personality or your dog's dominance, resistance, or deprivation. All the labels used won't help you change your relationship at a deeper level and bring genuine relaxation into your life. Neither you nor your dog are the problem: You have a problem. And it is important to find the cause and develop self-effective strategies to solve it.

Many trainings are either focused on changing your dog or on yourself. However, your life is more complex than generic training tips could ever grasp, and holistic development always involves both of you on so many levels.

Your successful training, which provides not only short-term improvements but also long-term success, starts with a solid foundation of a regulated nervous system, genuine understanding of your dog's learning behavior, and practical training strategies that solve your problems in everyday life. And, of course, a path that sees and allows for the needs of both of you, without compromising others.

Real needs-oriented training is more than just treats. It enables you and your dog to continually improve your quality of life, always seeking the most pleasant and effective path for everyone and allowing for true growth instead of rigid adaptation.

In my experience, the problem lies primarily in the fact that the dog has never had the opportunity to truly unlearn but has been inhibited or distracted. The training has so far focused on the symptom and never reached the cause.

Therefore, I won't give you rigid instructions but real knowledge that you deeply understand, allowing you to adapt and utilize it individually. It is important to me that you know how to solve your problems and empower yourself just as your dog does. The more you implement and actively use the Academy, the greater the changes that await you and your dog.

In any case, the Academy is a help for both of you. In cases of imminent danger, which applies if your dog harms other beings or his quality of life is greatly affected, you should always seek additional support locally. You can find recommended trainers at IBH eV and Pet Professional Guild. However, you are still welcome in the VIP Dogs Academy.
