Study Programs

Stefanie Ströbele FroheHunde offers non-academic training programs and educational courses focused on dog training, puppy education, and canine communication via human body language. The provider does not grant formal academic degrees or state certifications. Instead, the curriculum centers on practical skills for dog owners through self-paced digital video courses, guided remote coaching, and structured on-site classes. The digital portfolio includes several self-paced and guided online courses. Der Umgang mit dem Hund über die Körpersprache is a foundational online course divided into three parts with 62 instructional videos, teaching owners how to actively use their own body language to guide their dog. The Welpentraining online course covers socialization and rearing up to around the 20th week of life through video lessons. Additionally, Leine gut, alles gut - Wie du den Leinenkrieg beendest ohne zu kämpfen is structured as an eight-week guided online program focusing on loose-leash walking, scheduled to reopen in January 2026. Free supplementary material is provided in the form of the downloadable e-book 1x1 für Welpenbesitzer. Individualized remote support is offered through the Frohe-Hunde-Online-Coaching program. In this format, dog owners submit video recordings of challenging everyday situations for evaluation. The trainer and client review and analyze these recordings during live consultations over Zoom to develop customized exercise plans. Continuous remote guidance is maintained between video calls via messenger contact. On-site training takes place in Stuttgart and surrounding areas, including Leonberg and Rutesheim. The on-site Welpentraining package lasts eight weeks and includes five group sessions with up to four puppies, three private one-on-one sessions, daily messenger chat support, and access to the digital Welpentraining course for 359 euros. For adolescent dogs, Junghundetraining is delivered on-site as individual sessions for 70 euros per 60 minutes, small groups of two dogs for 35 euros per dog, or larger groups starting at three dogs for 30 euros per dog. Ongoing open group sessions, known as Offenes Gruppentraining, follow the same pricing structure and take place on fenced training grounds as well as public outdoor settings. Participants in on-site programs receive digital access to the Frohe-Hunde-Onlinebibliothek via a dedicated mobile app to review training exercises at home.
