JAKARTA - Ernest Douwes Dekker's breakthroughs and criticism often scared the Dutch colonialists. The narrative made him exiled to the Land of the Windmills. Even though he never gave up criticism of the Dutch.
His return to the archipelago was also greeted with great fanfare. However, the man who is familiarly called DD did not immediately throw himself into the movement. DD enjoyed his time to have fun first. He decided to perpetuate his hobby as a dog coach.
Ernest Douwes Dekker is a true freedom fighter. He is a figure who invited two alumni of the Bumiputra Doctors Education School (STOVIA), Tijpto Mangoenkoesoemo and Soewardi Soerjaningrat (later known as Ki Hajar Dewantara) to make a big breakthrough.
The third formed the Partij Indische (Indies Party) in 1912. A party that unites various ethnic groups against Dutch rule. The three were then dubbed the Tiga Serangkai. They often criticize the Dutch on various occasions.
Mainly through the funnel of the De Express newspaper. The courage must then be paid dearly with the imprisonment and exile of the Tiga Serangkai to the Netherlands. The assessment did not make DD tobat fight for the fate of the bumiputras.
Instead, he moved to bring the message of Indonesia's independence in the Windmill Country. Even though at the time he returned to the archipelago in 1924 the critical power was slightly reduced. DD wants to try relaxing first.
Radical paths to struggle are trying to be avoided. He chose education as his teachings against colonialism and also ignorance. He built an educational foundation with his wife,ORDILLa Mossel.
The Ksatsian Foundation (aler known as the Knight Instituut), his name. DD then chose skilled teachers to educate the natives, the Chinese and the Dutch Indo. In fact, he chose Soekarno as a teacher. All of this was because DD believed Soekarno could instill awareness of independence in the students of the Knight Instituut.

"I had no hope at all to get both of them when I heard of vacancies at the Ksatrian Foundation school organized by national leader Dr. Setiabudi (Ernest Douwes Dekker). They are looking for a teacher who will teach in two subjects. The first is history, for which I really want it.
'Other subjects? Science for sure! And in all aspects of fun again! So as I have emphasized with all the bitter honesty, if there are subjects that can't touch you at all, then that's what he knows for sure. However, I have no other choice, "explained Bung Karno as written by Cindy Adams in the book Bung Karno: Connecting the Tongue of the Indonesian People (2007).
DD lived a good life as a teacher. However, DD's activities are not always busy with teaching activities. He chose other activities that were fun. He decided his choice to become a farmer as well as a herd dog trainer.
This activity was perpetuated by DD because he liked dogs. For him, dogs are human friends. Every day DD used to train his dog to be good at many things. Count, let alone.
DD's courage to train dogs has received a positive response everywhere. The German Shepherd Dog Association of the Indies, Indische Schaapershond Vereeniging (ISV) where he belongs as secretary is the most important.
The association considers Ernest's herder dog training method to be proven accurate. This is because the man who later became known as Danudirja Setiabudi developed a demilitarized method in training dogs. Dog training should not be military-style gripping, he said.
The move is so that dogs can return to their original characters: run, attack, and catch gracefully. Examples of the success of the DD training method have come through their own pet herder dogs, Achim von Postdam, Greta von Utrecht, and Braco.
The three dogs then become champions every time there is a race. Therefore, Ernest's reputation as a seasoned dog coach is undeniable.
Get on the bench while sticking out his tongue, Achim von Postdam looked at the whiteboard. Not long after, he swung 13 times at my sister. The herder dog answered a question calculated: 19-6. The employer, Ernest Francois Eugene Douwes Dekker, was both happy and proud. On the other hand, Secretary of the German Shepherd Association Indies ISV, P.P. Westerloo narrowed his face because he had to lose 1,000 guilders.
"Ernest won the bet. The incident on June 15, 1926, proved that DD-like Douwes Dekker is usually called - good at training dogs. Community and racing competitions for racing dogs were mushrooming in the East Indies in the 1920s. The first race was held in Malang, East Java. Three DD pets, namely Achim, Greta von Utrecht, and Braco, often become champions and make the name of the place for breeding of Kreshna en Indra Kennels," wrote Tempo Magazine's report entitled Achim No Need Military Exercise (2012).
