Pri KD Ovčar šolanje temelji na pozitivni motivaciji – učimo z nagrado, igro in pohvalo. Posebno pozornost namenjamo odnosu med psom in vodnikom, saj verjamemo, da je prav to temelj. Pes, ki vodniku zaupa in z njim rad dela, napreduje hitreje in ostane zanesljiv tudi v zahtevnejših situacijah. Vodnik se pri nas ne nauči samo ukazov – nauči se razumeti svojega psa in z njim graditi skupen jezik. Poleg motivacije pa psu postavljamo tudi jasne meje. Doslednost in jasna komunikacija sta tisto, kar dolgoročno prinese rezultate. Delamo v majhnih skupinah, kar pomeni, da ima vsak par dovolj prostora in pozornosti. Del treningov poteka na poligonu v Crngrobu, del pa v urbanem okolju, kjer pse navajamo na situacije iz vsakdanjega življenja. Šolanje vodijo inštruktorji z licenco Kinološke zveze Slovenije.

Methods

Pozitivna motivacija – pri učenju se uporabljajo nagrade (hrana, igrača, pohvala), s katerimi se spodbuja želeno vedenje psa. Postopno učenje – vaje se stopnjujejo od enostavnih do zahtevnejših, glede na starost in predznanje psa. Individualni pristop – inštruktorji prilagodijo delo značaju, pasmi in sposobnostim posameznega psa ter izkušnjam vodnika. Delo v skupinah – tečaji potekajo v manjših skupinah, kar omogoča socializacijo psov in učenje v različnih situacijah. Praktične vaje – poudarek je na praktičnem delu, kot so poslušnost, odpoklic, hoja na popuščenem povodcu, srečevanje z drugimi psi in ljudmi ter premagovanje različnih ovir. Izobraževanje vodnikov – poleg učenja psov društvo poučuje tudi vodnike o pravilni komunikaciji s psom, razumevanju pasjega vedenja in odgovornem lastništvu. Priprava na izpite in športno kinologijo – za zainteresirane člane društvo organizira priprave na kinološke izpite ter discipline, kot sta rally obedience in IGP.
