and behavior training of dogs
Dear Mr. Minister Stoeger,
dog training just to win, especially in light of the new regulations in some states more important. The new draft law is welcome as far as quality criteria - training with motivation and reward, no pressure or coercion - should be pursued. Unfortunately, the effect of the draft but in fact just the opposite!
This draft regulation seems to take that dog trainers in Austria only a hobby in the clubs of the Austrian Kennel Club (ÖKV), the Austrian Dog Sport Union (ÖHU) or the Austrian hunting dog owner association (ÖJGV) the activity or service dogs are leaders.
This is a long time is no longer the reality in Austria. In recent years, several self-employed, free dog trainers have established that do work full time basis and in accordance to the applicable laws of your departments (paragraph 1.6. Appendix 1 of the second livestock regulation). These trainers are often not aware placed under one of these clubs, but completed alternative quality training and seminars at home and abroad .
These free dog trainers outside the canine Austrian clubs could be established but only because there is a demand for it. Consumers have show interest in alternatives to "conventional" training their dogs on the ÖKV / ÖHU-dog place, precisely because these free trainers a quality level high and high professional competence in terms of animal protection regulations training with motivation and reward . Now is a deliberately destroying setback in a monopolistic Dog training services that leaves the / the dog keeper no option open. Especially since the one hand welfare motivated trainers will be sidelined and are accepted on the other hand incumbent trainers of these associations from the outset , degrade the quality of dog training in Austria, and thus the dogs.
The free dog trainers afford for years a much greater contribution to a humane education, as this is "the dog place" is possible or would be. Right here can be solved namely no serious problems. The important work with dogs in everyday life, the best prevention is Beißunfällen and would be at risk from this new regulation.
- This Regulation destroying the economic livelihood of hundreds of people in Austria, which are so low-income and unemployed. These people have started their professional activity as a dog trainer on the basis of existing laws (paragraph 1.6. Appendix 1 of the second livestock regulation) and allowed the entry into force of the Regulation no longer do their work.
- Because: The draft regulation means the end for all dog trainers, not the Austrian Kennel Club (ÖKV), the Austrian Dog Sport Union (ÖHU) or belong to the Austrian hunting dog owner association (ÖJGV) or service dogs are leaders! So that all will be abolished in Austria make free pet trainers at a stroke. They all need their farms from which they are economically dependent, for a period of two years and must include a / an ÖKV, ÖHU, ÖJGV-service dog trainer or dog handler to go into teaching.
- The free, self-employed as an individual entrepreneur dog trainers have to a considerable extent on high level training, in many cases, internationally renowned dog trainers, often have many years of professional experience as a dog trainer and make a contribution to good trained dogs. Many of these trainers have training courses listed in the content and scope by far on the Regulation of you in the prescribed amount go!
- close with this Regulation, all already active trainers from the dog training, their trainers' training with the founders of modern, non-violent and have completed so humane dog training. These are world-renowned stars like Turid Rugaas, Clarissa von Reinhardt, Sheila Harper, Anne Lill Kvam etc.
- In the interests of animal welfare, this means a step back by years or decades in dog training Austria! Modern, non-violent, Humane dog training has taken its origin in Europe in the aforementioned international sizes. A large number of trained people working there on a scientific basis and the highest ethical standards now than in Austria dog trainer. The purpose of this draft regulation includes one of these dog trainers and dog training from the formation of other trainers. In order to promote the welfare of the dog training but do not boycott it!
- And meanwhile, the BMG, at least for a period of two years of a monopoly for ÖKV, ÖHU, ÖJGV-service dog trainers and leaders. For the graduates of the university course "Applied Canine" can afford before 2012 to contribute and have previously also practiced at the listed trainers, their access to dog training is still a strong dog sporting approach based on subordination and often little or no relation to everyday added.
- take the dog owners with the opportunity of free choice as to be formed on the way in which their dogs, because you force people, at least for two years, to to train their dogs in a / an ÖKV, ÖHU, ÖJGV-service trainer or dog handler.
- ignore this regulation, the fact that at the time of entry into force of this Regulation, dog trainers are in Austria, which under existing laws an item of official channels equality with ÖKV, ÖHU-ÖJGV reach-dog trainers and pet service leaders, by example, they are entitled under existing state laws the Vienna dog handler certificate, the LA Dog Owner's competence regulation, or the Upper dog holding certificate of competence to decrease.
I ask you to revise the draft regulation to once again rule.
All those dog trainers at the time of entry into force of the Regulation, have demonstrated a high quality education and professional experience outside of the kennel clubs must also be acknowledged explicitly (§ 7 Transitional provision)!
Furthermore, it must be allowed to continue with alternative, high-quality training in the recognition at home and abroad as a dog trainer to be, if their contents are consistent with those of Regulation!
Finally, the training content are important, and not associations or institutions!
Sincerely

It should be taken into consideration that the dog is exposed to too much stress and not be overwhelmed. Measures to combat readiness and increase aggressiveness, sind ebenso verboten wie der Einsatz von Stachelhalsbändern, Korallenhalsbändern und Geräten, die darauf abzielen, das Tier zu dressieren oder sein Verhalten durch Härte oder mittels Strafreizen zu beeinflussen. Tierkämpfe und das Hetzen auf andere Tiere, um das Tier abzurichten, sind verboten. Bei der Ausbildung zum Schutzhund muss zudem darauf geachtet werden, dass die Ausbildung nicht abgebrochen wird.
Zu § 3:

Those who mistakenly called "welfare-qualified dog trainer" means, violates the provisions of this regulation and thus commits an administrative violation (§ 38 para 3 APL). This is, in appropriate circumstances pursuant to § 33 para 1 APL by the local district administration and in the event that it is tatsächlich um eine Falschbezeichnung handelt, zu ahnden.

to § 5:
It here that content is recorded, which must be included in the training anyway. They are of particular relevance to animal welfare. For dog owners, it makes the right choice in dog school, he found a high minimum standard in education vorgeschrieben ist; gerade in Zeiten, wo sogenannte „Problemhunde“ vermehrt in Erscheinung treten, ist eine Qualitätskontrolle sinnvoll und auch notwendig.
Tierschutzgerechte Erziehungsmethoden in Verbindung mit Lernmethodik und Lernverhalten sowie Konditionierung zeigen deutlich den Fortschritt in der Hundeausbildung auf, da in heutigen Ausbildungen das stressfreie Trainieren (Erziehung belohnungsbasiert) im Vordergrund steht, womit der Hund eine vertrauensbildende Interaktion mit dem Menschen aufbaut. Dies wirkt sich positiv auf den Gehorsam des Hundes aus. Bei zwangsbasierenden Erziehungsmethoden treten vermehrt Verhaltensprobleme wie Angst bis hin zur Aggression auf - unsachgemäßes Anwenden von Bestrafungsmaßnahmen can be a defense to have the dog episode. Correctly assessing
to adapt the behavior of the dog to, it is also essential to know about the expressive behavior and his racial-specific behavior assessment - early detection of canine transmitted signals is to protect both the animals and the people here is of immense importance. This work requires knowledge of the nature and behavior of the dog, cause of aggression and also to take account of the influence on the breed. All of this serves the welfare proper handling of the dog.
Canine Education is already in the puppy age, because the dog already this stage of key strikes for the subsequent behavior will notice. Especially in the socialization phase is how to deal / the peaceful encounters with other creatures critical to the further development of the dog and also for his own protection. He learns to recognize the signals of human and animal properly. Precisely for these reasons, it is important that the topic of puppy training, puppies, puppy school training into account. For which it stands is also the knowledge of breeding and raising of dogs, the knowledge about the different stages of a dog and also about the needs of individual breeds in terms of welfare, care and feeding. Here pander to the judges at exhibitions have an important role, as are being used for breeding prize-winning animals preferred.
in the mediation of ethical principles, which includes the knowledge of the basic needs of the dog for a physical and psychological well-being, is the LPA § 1 into account, which aims at the special responsibility of humans for animals as fellow creatures . Training in the ethics contribute to the pet owner awareness is taught this and sends it to the dog the greatest possible care. As the dog acts as a social partner of the people is the learning content Communication and teaching methods to be considered here - non-violent communication is a prerequisite for peaceful use of dogs to each other and also of dogs with other animals.
Knowledge of veterinary medical principles, especially as vaccination, genetic diseases, genetics and anatomy, diseases of the musculoskeletal system and first-aid measures concerned should, increasingly, the non-physician be brought home. This training shall include at least content in the dog trainers ensure that they have this basic knowledge, thus ensuring even, that there is no overload / overuse of the dog comes during training.
Knowledge of, for animal husbandry, relevant legislation is important - in particular to go into training at the Animal Welfare Act, including the adopted regulations, but in addition also to provisions in other federal or state laws (eg, security police laws, various regulations of the countries with regard to keeping dogs / handler certificate).
With the mediation of the basics of dog sports should be avoided, that a dog is overwhelmed. Specific breeds have special needs / skills that can be targeted, such as in sports. With the right training this dog is the animal protection Account.
