The basic premise of Van Stal Dog School is positive dog training and, above all, learning to understand dog language. This way, you build an unconditional bond with your dog and training only becomes more fun and understandable for both dog and owner. Our teachers are qualified, certified and accredited dog (and human) trainers with extensive experience. All dogs and handlers are welcome, we have a Puppy School Van Stal for puppies as young as 8 weeks, kindergarten and a primary School Van Stal for dogs as young as 12 weeks. It’s a treat to train here all year round, weather or not, because of the indoor training area.

We go for the best result and that includes looking closely at the dog-boss combination. Because no two dogs and owners are the same, and that is precisely what makes our profession so much fun. With personal attention and a focus on behavior, we help you build the best possible bond with your dog that you will enjoy together for years to come.

“We felt it was time for a professional but loving school for dogs and horses. For years I ran with this idea and once we were able to start setting up Van Stal my dream became a reality. Every day I enjoy the horses around us and the people and dogs who see that things can be different!” -Boukje-

Van Stal was founded in 2015 by Boukje van Hilst and Wessel Brunink.
