The Learning Dog Study is an avant-garde study program, continuously integrating modern issues and developments, connected to the difficulty of a society in which the anthropocentric viewpoint is still deeply rooted. This study path allows participants to start recognising the necessary and possible space to preserve quality experiences, to find a way back to their own Animality, and to explore coexistence – beyond speciesism.
Learn how dog learns, as subjects, from an own interest , not stimulated by human, not predefined, but from an interest hidden below many layers of misleading habits and blocking projections. Training, or any form of desired behavior and desired outcome, is deconstructed to makes place for living together, in a reciprocal relationship, where the understanding of the experience of a dog is not a moment of compensation, but a life-philosophy.

Informed perspective.

Information that you will not find in any other education / study. When you understand all this new information with you mind, you are going to integrate this. Deeply, very deeply integrate, into every cell of your body. ” [Learning Dog participant 2015 – after having had a dog school for twenty years]
