We accompany you with reliable knowledge and a clear view of what dogs really need in everyday life – without exaggeration, without dogma.
Practice over theory Every tip we share has proven itself in living with dogs. We test, observe, and honestly report what works and where the limits lie.
Responsibility over speed An adoption, a food change, or new training takes time. We encourage thoughtful decisions that fit the individual dog and life situation.
Respect for every being Our approach avoids pressure, punishment, and questionable promises. Instead, we focus on species-appropriate activities, positive reinforcement, and an environment that builds trust.
A community that supports Dog owners are often left alone when questions arise. We create a place where experiences are shared without judgment – by families, beginners, and long-time owners alike.
Our Mission
We accompany dog owners with sound knowledge and practical advice – from puppy training to species-appropriate activities. Our goal is a trusting relationship between humans and animals.
“A dog is not an accessory, but a family member with its own needs.”
No theoretical castles in the air, but proven tips for real everyday life: walks in the rain, food changes, travel preparation or impulse control – we provide concrete solutions.
“Every tip we share has been tried and tested with our own dogs.”
HundeRat is a place for everyone who wants to understand and support their four-legged friend. Here, experienced owners and newcomers exchange ideas, learn from each other and grow together.
“Together we ensure that dogs live a happy and healthy life.”
Our team combines many years of experience in animal care, behavior training, and species-appropriate dog nutrition. Each member brings practical, everyday knowledge – from puppy school to senior dog care.
For over twelve years, Ines has been supporting dog owners in training their four-legged friends. She completed her certification as a dog trainer at the Institute for Applied Canine Science and regularly leads puppy courses in Vienna. Her focus is on non-violent communication and everyday practicality.
Claudia studied veterinary medicine at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna with a focus on animal nutrition. She advises dog owners on food transitions, diets for intolerances, and nutrient requirements at every life stage. Her recommendations are based on current studies and her own practice in the small animal clinic.
Marlene researched the social behavior of domestic dogs at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences and has been writing specialist articles for dog magazines for five years. For HundeRat, she develops practical guides on activities, stress recognition, and bonding training – always with the individual personality of the dog in mind.
