DOG TRAINING COURSE: “ON THE TRAIL IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH STRONG PAWS”
Traveling together. Experiencing things together. Growing together.
Treat yourself and your dog to a special getaway amidst the stunning Valais mountains.
Look forward to varied hikes, exciting activity and fitness programs, exercises you can do at home, and shared moments that strengthen the bond between you and your dog. The focus isn’t on performance or competition, but on enjoying time together, promoting your dog’s body awareness, and experiencing nature with like-minded people.
The program is designed so that dogs of various breeds, sizes, and age groups—depending on their individual health and fitness levels—can participate. Depending on the weather, group composition, and the needs of the participating human-dog teams, individual program elements will be flexibly adjusted.
