Doggie's Place Seeland

My philosophy

Work and having a dog thats not always easy to combine, as I know from my own experience. Thats why I want to offer dog owners a species-appropriate, professional and flexible day care for their four-legged friends. The concept is similar to a childcare center: at least once a week but preferably more often (15 times per week). The only important thing is that the dogs see their buddies at least once a week. This way, the group can grow together, everyone knows each other, and theres no unrest caused by constantly changing newcomers or day tourists.

With me all dogs are welcome, no matter what breed, age, gender - as long as they are compatible with the existing troop. Because this point is central for me: I do not tolerate aggressive dogs or bullying. In Doggie's Place every dog should feel comfortable. Apart from that, however, there are hardly any restrictions; for example, unneutered male dogs are also among my guests. In my group I also have several dogs from animal welfare. Also these animals with partly special needs or still lacking experiences are cordially welcome with me. Only bitches in heat are not allowed to come to me in the HundeTagi during their heat. Afterwards I look forward to them all the more. It is important to me to offer all dogs a species-appropriate, stimulating and fun stay, whereby great importance is also attached to sufficient rest periods. The dogs benefit greatly from interacting with each other. During the walk, individual dogs are allowed off the leash at times, or can romp and play with each other in my large, fully fenced play area. I understand each dog as an individual and therefore always decide depending on the situation and the day, what goes and where I set limits (eg free running).

Since I currently always have interns (training to become animal caretakers), I am able to look after up to a maximum of 19 dogs. However, we usually care for 12 to a maximum of 14 dogs (including our own). This way we can act responsibly and provide individual attention to every guest. In addition, I support the IPT Foundation (Integration pour tous) in reintegration, social inclusion, work training and low-threshold employment opportunities by offering such an integration placement and supervising the person involved. These interns will never go for walks with the dogs alone or leave them unsupervised.

The authorization to care for up to 19 dogs at the Avenches location was granted in October 2020 by the Canton of Vaud for a period of 5 years. The Municipality of Avenches has also fully approved the operation of my dog daycare. An extension of the authorization has already been requested from the cantonal veterinary office.
