Die Hundeschule von Manuela Albrecht ist sehr kompetent und souverän. Sie leited die Hundeschule mit viel Herz und Leidenschaft. Ich bin seit Jahren bei ihr und kann sie jedem empfehlen.

Allegra – it’s great to have you here! Does it bother you that your dog pulls strongly on the leash instead of walking calmly by your side? Do you hesitate to let them off the leash because they don’t reliably come back when called or start chasing things? Do you often find walks with your dog stressful because they bark furiously at other dogs and people, forcing you to avoid any contact? Do your neighbors complain because your dog barks endlessly when left alone at home? Do you avoid inviting visitors because your dog barks aggressively at them? Are you worried that your dog might bite in uncontrolled situations? Are you dealing with other challenges with your dog and looking for comprehensive and effective training for both of you? Or do you have a puppy or a young dog going through puberty, and you just want to do everything right? Then you are in the right place! Because I’ve been there, too.

As a coach for human-dog teams, I dedicate my work to both the dog and the person.

I will show you how to achieve all your goals and wishes, for example: • Taking your dog anywhere without any worries; • Meeting other dogs or people without stress or fear; • Letting your dog into the garden without constant barking; • Having a relaxed dog that focuses on you and walks calmly on a loose leash; • Letting your dog run free without worries, knowing they will reliably come back even in distracting situations.

Schedule your free initial consultation today! About Me My name is Nici (Nicole) Pirola, and I live with my husband, our dog Mia, and four cats in Bever, in the beautiful Engadin region. I decided to pursue training in Germany as a dog trainer specializing in problematic dogs, to help other human-dog teams facing similar challenges. I know how stressful and exhausting such situations can be. During my training, I realized that this approach is valuable for every human-dog team, even when there are no major problems, but perhaps there is a need to improve leash manners or correct annoying behaviors. To offer an open and highly personalized approach for every human-dog team, I continuously further my education with experts in the field, both in Italy and abroad.

Christian und Désirée sind einfach nur super. Die Hundeschule Thimba hat mir mit meinem Problemhund geholfen, das mein Hund mega ausgeglichen und zufrieden ist. Ausserdem konnte ich durch Ihre Hilfe meine eigene Fehler erkennen und daraus lernen. Ein riesen mehrwert für das Tier und den Menschen dahinter

Mon chien fesait énormément de bêtises à la maison. Avec Samantha Ruffieux nous avons discuté pour comprendre le comportement et mettre en place une solution pour régler le problème. Le tout à était fait en éducation positive ! Et je suis fière de dire qu'il se transforme en petit ange. Un travail au top, avec une véritable écoute ainsi que de la douceur.
