How to find an approved provider
Open the guide on this topic.
Not every dog school or trainer is automatically permitted to deliver the mandatory training. Canton approval is the decisive criterion if you want to be sure your course counts. When in doubt, confirm approval directly with the provider or your municipality.
Beyond approval, it is worth looking at the provider's experience, the training approach and the reviews. Many approved schools offer both theory and practice, others specialise in one part. Think about what you need in advance, and the choice becomes easier.
The directory below is filtered to canton-approved providers. You can filter further by course type, language, location and other criteria. If you first want to know which course is mandatory for you, the compliance quiz places your situation.
Approval is granted by the canton according to set requirements and can change over time. So do not rely on older information alone, confirm the current status directly with the provider when in doubt. Reputable schools state their approval transparently and are happy to answer questions about it, which is often already a good sign of a provider's quality. Also take a look at reviews and at whether the school has experience with your specific situation, that way you find not just an approved provider, but one that genuinely fits you and your dog and the goals you have for your training.
