Mindfulness and massage experience with dogs

On this premium tour you will have the chance to learn about how we train the dogs with help of mindfulness and our full presence.  Our trained guides will teach you step by step how you can use mindfulness in your everyday life with or without your dogs.

We start with a lecture and an introduction on how mindfulness works and how it can change the life for you and your animal.  We will give you insights on how a present mind helps us and the dogs in our daily lives and how you can build a relationship with your own animal.  Many examples of how we work with the dogs from young puppies to old dogs are shown, wherein the Trust Technique is one of our most important tools. Massage is another important welfare tool. We show you our daily massage routine. Massage is a good way to reduce stress elements and muscles tensions. 

After the lecture, you will meet our dogs and is now prepared to greet them with peace and see how they respond to that. We guide you in every step. When you enter the pens, you will get cuddle time with the dogs and we teach you to see who is up for it and who is not and how you shall approach them and do the massage.  By now both you and the dogs will start to feel relaxed.
