Helpers on four paws
- The right way to deal with dogs has to be learned: What is the best way to approach a dog? How do you touch it? To ensure that children who grow up without a dog of their own are not afraid of dogs and have the opportunity to learn how to handle them correctly, the human-dog teams of the “Helpers on Four Paws” visit kindergartens, schools and events.
All-rounder
- After a two-year break, the DOGLIVE multi-talent will be sought again this year. In a 3 – 4 minute performance in front of an expert jury, two- and four-legged friends have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills. The possibilities are very diverse: Whether Dog Dance, Dog Comedy, Trick Dogging or other elements – a human-dog team is sought that knows how to inspire.
