Older Dog with the name Kico
Phone number 621257100
Found at the parking lot in Waldhaff.
The owner's phone switched off, and the dog will be brought to the shelter in Gasperich.

UPDATE
The dog is taken care of at the shelter.
The owner will be contacted. Shocking though is, it belongs to a dog walker who left the dog behind.
The walker was at the parking lot and left. Forty-five minutes later, the dog turned up at the parking lot when my friend and I were about to leave. I hope the walker noticed it is missing a dog!

After more than 20 wonderful years in Luxembourg, The Dog House by Ingrid Sàrl will be closing its doors due to personal health reasons.

It has been an incredible journey offering dog training, behaviour consultations, and dog walking services to so many amazing dogs and their dedicated humans.

As of today, I will no longer be accepting new clients.

All of you who know me know it has been more than just a business—it’s been my passion and purpose. This business has meant the world to me—it has been my life’s work and greatest joy.

I’m deeply grateful for the trust, loyalty, and support from all of you over the years.

Thank you for letting me be part of your dogs’ lives. I’ll carry the memories—and paw prints—with me always. 💛🐾

— Ingrid

Signs of heatstroke
Learn to recognise the signs of heatstroke

🐕Faster, heavier panting
🐕Barking, whining or signs of agitation
🐕Excessive thirst
🐕Excessive drooling
🐕Increased pulse and heartbeat
🐕Dark-coloured (red or purple) gums or tongue
🐕Glassy eyes
🐕Elevated body temperature of 40ºC (104ºF) and up
🐕Staggering, weakness or collapse
Seizures
🐕Unconsciousness

HEATSTROKE is a MEDICAL EMERGENCY and requires IMMEDIATE ACTION and VETERINARY SUPPORT.

Cool your dog by hosing or pouring COLD WATER all over the body or place them in a paddling pool to rapidly reduce temperature and call your vet! (Do don’t leave them unattended in a pool or otherwise in case of collapse.)

This could save your dog’s life. If you attempt to cool with lukewarm/tepid water your dog will be at increased risk!

Clarification on cold water

Hot Over 40°C
Warm – 30-40°C
Lukewarm/Tepid – ~35°C (the definition is variable according to source)
Cold – 10-20°C
Ice Cold

What is your breed intended to do?
As I have a Labrador, I find it essential to let her do what she's meant to do.

At 8.00 25 c ☀️☀️

This is the fourth time she's ever done the field search, and the first long track.

Feldarbeit-Federwildschleppe

250 steps, approximately 150 meters straight out to the left, then a 45-degree angle to the right and another 50 m.

It’s a mix of trail tracking and finding a pheasant on the field, a blind retrieve.
We are ready for the Jagdeignungsprüfung (JEP) in 3 weeks.
We just have to begin working on the transport from the car to the starting point.
The game used on the exam are
A pheasant on the field
A duck 🦆 on the water
A rabbit 🐇 in the forest

All blind retrieves.

Then polish up the last bits for the obedience test.

Even if we don't pass the exam, I'm very pleased with my girl, who's developed so nicely since we started the training in March.

As this class was fully booked in less than 12 hours, I am open to running another class. If you are interested in being on the waiting list, please send me an email, and I will plan an additional course.

🐾Teenager class🐾
Thursdays 18.30-19.30

🐕Fully Booked🐕

Has your cute youngster suddenly turned into a teenager who doesn’t listen?
Instead, he runs around like a lunatic and does not listen to you.
The lovely puppy that followed you everywhere has started exploring the world on his own, pulling on the leash, barking, maybe lunging at others or is not coming when you call?

All dogs go through an adolescent phase shortly after puppyhood. It can last until the age of 18 months, up to two years old, at which point they are usually considered a full-fledged adult. This is all part of your dog growing into an adult.
A lot is happening physically and mentally for your dog, but it can be hard to handle.
During this refresher training course, we practice everyday obedience through play, contact and communication.

You will work on focus, leash walking, impulse control, the important recall and staying calm and attentive to you around other dogs. Then, we bring the training back to basics and find that specific reward(s) your teenager thinks is worth working for.
As always, we use positive reinforcement in the training, reward and focus on the behaviour we wish to have.

This course aims to guide your teenage dog so they can focus around distractions and become lovely obedient dogs.

Maximum six dogs with one handler each in the class.

Course fee €225, which includes six one-hour lessons.

Sign up by emailing [email protected] with your contact details, your dog’s age, whether entire, neutered or when your female has been in season.

I love the connection, the bond, and the joy I have with my dog, Umbra, a two-year-old labrador female.

Building strong foundations before we start expecting our dogs to know what to do when a whole host of emotions are involved can be the difference between failure and progress.

It is essential to start with the basics and foundations for you and your dog and not rush from A to E! By going from A-B-C-D-E, you can set up your dog for success and build up joy, connection, and stamina. There is no need to rush it and set up your dog for failure by making it too difficult for your dog.

Would you send your child to University without first allowing them to build solid learning foundations? I don’t think so, as then we would just be setting them up to fail, and there are so many things they need to learn first. Our dogs are no different.

You and your dog are both learners, just at different stages of learning. My job as a trainer is to bridge that gap and get you both working as a team. Aside from countless other practical reasons why we must start with good foundations, this aspect is the most rewarding for everyone involved.

Behaviour is very complex, but good training is not or doesn’t have to be. We can’t expect to build more complex behaviour or tackle more advanced training without first building solid training foundations. If we do that, it makes all the other stuff much easier. Set a goal and semi-goals, and have a plan for achieving that specific goal.

𝙃𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙛𝙪𝙣 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙙𝙤𝙜!
Play with them, figure out what makes them tick, and teach them that learning with you is pretty cool and an everyday party.
