In general, teaching puppies what to do through praise and rewards (positive reinforcement) is the best practice. Setting puppies up for success using management, supervision, and positive reinforcement training plans is effective and safe Great question! Training a puppy requires patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Start with basic obedience commands like "sit," "stay," and "come." Use positive reinforcement techniques like treats and praise to encourage good behavior. Be consistent and patient, as it may take time for your puppy to learn. Consider enrolling in a puppy training class for additional support and guidance.

1. IN THIS SECTION WE WOULD LIKE
TO INFORM YOU ABOUT OUR
ALREADY TRAINED DOGS AND THE
EXISTING PARTNERSHIP.
2023

2. Assistance dog LISA
Frida lives as a foster child in her family. Frida had to go through severe withdrawal as a baby. A
short time later she was diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome. Unfortunately, this causes
Frida's brain to be damaged and, for example, she learns more slowly. In order to compensate
for the impairments caused by Frida's illness, Lisa supports her in everyday life. Lisa takes on a
lot of tasks for this. For example, she is supposed to shield Frida when everything becomes too
much for her. Additionally, Frida will be Lisa's anchor at Meltdown. This reduces the frequency
and intensity of loss of control. Furthermore, Lisa should report when Frida goes away and, if
necessary, look for her. And the last task is for Lisa to support Frida in traffic and remind her to
stop at crossings.

3. Assistance dog LENI
Minou also likes to run towards stimuli that interest her. The environment is then hidden. Leni is
supposed to look after Minou and help her parents handle such moments better. Thanks to her

doctor's visits. Leni is also supposed to use a special support harness to help her stand and run
short distances. By aligning herself with Leni, Minou is able to better balance her balance.

4. Assistance dog KNÖDEL
During his elementary
school years, Friedrich was diagnosed with Asperger's autism. Friedrich's behavior had already
been very conspicuous in previous years. He was extremely orderly, and he found it very difficult
to change within the kindergarten and make the transition from kindergarten to school. Since
Friedrich, as an Asperger's autistic person, cannot filter stimuli, he has many limitations in
everyday life. Knödel, his assistance dog, can compensate for these limitations. Knödel reminds
Friedrich to check the traffic. It can shield him in queues and guide him safely through crowds.
In new or stressful situations, dumplings can give Friedrich a feeling of security and trust.

them.

become an everyday companion.

14. Assistance dog JALA
Paul has fetal alcohol syndrome. As a result, he is limited in many ways in everyday life. For
example, he is quickly overwhelmed by small obstacles and becomes overstimulated. Jala

of sensory overload, Nunu Ture is intended to calm you down and prevent you from engaging in
self-harming behavior. Ture also finds it difficult to speak. Here Nunu is intended to support

good time and, if in doubt, can find him again using his scent. By following the scent trail, dogs
are significantly faster and more accurate than us humans. In addition, Maja is said to promote
body and sensory awareness by seeking closeness. To do this, she should lie down next to Tim

strangers. When strangers get too close to Charlin, it causes stress for her and can lead to

them and come to them. For this to happen, the atmosphere in the classroom must be calm and
relaxed. In addition, Fridolin also learns a few tricks that the children can use and thus receive
an incentive to behave appropriately.
