Pulling leashes, barking encounters, helpless stares on the sidewalk: Dog trainer Tanja Matzku, with her dog school LottaLeben, gets Berlin dog-owner teams back on track – mobile, everyday-oriented, and without wagging a finger.
LottaLeben Dog School: Mobile Dog Training in Prenzlauer Berg
LottaLeben Dog School is based in Prenzlauer Berg and operates mobile throughout Berlin. Trainer Tanja Matzku comes to where life with a dog actually happens: The initial consultation takes place in the home environment, and then training is conducted where difficulties arise in everyday life – on the sidewalk, in the park, at traffic lights. The focus is on the everyday skills of the dog-owner team and thus on what truly matters in the overstimulation of Berlin.
Leash manners and a reliable recall form the basis. For leash aggression or separation anxiety, the training goes deeper. Tanja Matzku works neither exclusively through positive conditioning nor with tools that cause pain to the animal, but with an open-minded approach and clear communication, tailored to the individual dog.
Purchase Consultation and Social Walks in the Berlin Forests
The offer extends beyond basic training. Before acquisition, a purchase consultation clarifies whether a puppy or a rescue dog suits one’s own life situation – a component many owners skip. After puppyhood, group formats are added, including the Dwarf Walk, a social walk for small breeds in the Berlin Forests.
These walks alternate between exercise, free play, and short learning units. The dogs practice interacting with their peers, and the people receive feedback on their own behavior on the leash. For Berlin dog-owner teams who want to find peace in their everyday lives, this is a very practical approach.
