Vandalism: Dog trainer Dieter Paul fights for his damaged bus!

After an incident that shaken the dog trainer community, reports Rheinpfalz that Dieter Paul, a long -time dog trainer and operator of a grace courtyard for old Rottweiler, was victim of vandalism. His minibus, which is foiled with lovingly designed dog motifs, was smeared with black color. The damage could only be discovered after a walk on Tuesday after Easter when Paul checked the bus in a parking lot between Steinweiler and Winden.

The police were informed immediately because the damage to the vehicle is enormous. The removal of the color could prove to be expensive. Paul had only redesigned the bus in October for several thousand euros. It is estimated that the cost of removing the color and redesign of the pressure in the five -digit range is. Paul fears that he could stay at the costs because his insurance does not cover vandalism damage.

previous incidents

This incident throws shadows on a number of previous problems Paul has experienced. He was already the goal of a break -in on his dog place and also fought for the well -being of his animals after four of his dogs recently showed symptoms of poisoning. These events have led to speculation that the recent attack may have been targeted against him.

In order to draw attention to the mysterious incidents, Paul has suspended a reward of 500 euros for references to the perpetrators. In addition, he shared photos of the damaged bus on Facebook and received generous encouragement from his followers.

increasing problem of dog education

in a further connection reports MeinDzirk that the number of dog attacks increases and that frequent causes of dog owners are. One example is the incident in Kirchberg, in which a six -year -old girl was seriously injured by a dog. This shows how important in -depth knowledge of dealing with dogs is to prevent such punishments. Experts like Georg Resch, dog trainers from RG-Dogs, emphasize that often not the dog, but the owner is the problem.

The introduction of a dog license is considered a step in the right direction, but this is not enough. Resch suggests improving the essence test for dog keeping and carrying out more regularly. Currently, the regulations for the dog driving license vary greatly between the federal states. While in Salzburg and Upper Austria the dog handler for all (first) dog owners is mandatory, different handling applies in other federal states.

recommendations for dog training

In order to improve the security and skills of hundreds, experts advocate better training for dog trainers and for mandatory exams that should be repeated regularly. In some federal states, such as Vienna, this is already the case where a dog license is required for list dogs from the age of six months. However, such conditions are not available in other regions.

In addition to the training problems, thorough preparation for the exams is also recommended. Fressnapf emphasizes that good preparation can be achieved in at least three to four months.

In order to minimize the risk of incidents such as Dieter Paul, comprehensive training and regular training of dog owners is urgently needed. A better trained holder can ultimately not only ensure the safety of his own dog, but also that of the general public.
