Puppies and welfare: how we care for them

This principle underpins everything we do and, conversely, everything you will not find with us. No large crowds, no endless photography until exhaustion, no puppy left with nowhere to retreat when it simply wants to lie down. Here is exactly what this means in practice.

Quiet zone always

Every puppy can take a break and sleep in its quiet zone whenever it wants. We never interrupt their rest, if a puppy falls asleep, we leave it alone, even if that means you cannot pet it during the lesson. The quiet zone is essentially a permanent break that a puppy can take at any time; no one forces it to do anything and no one wakes it from its rest.

Why lessons are short and include breaks

The lesson lasts fifty minutes and is structured so as not to overwhelm the puppies: no loud music and no overexertion. The puppies run freely between mats during the lesson and choose themselves when to be active and when to rest. Both the duration of the lesson and what happens during it are set with the puppies primarily in mind, not with how much extra people might want to experience.

We select puppies aged between 8 and 16 weeks for collaboration, at the stage when they need varied and safe contact with people. That is precisely why the lessons are short: long enough to benefit from human company, yet short enough not to overwhelm them.

Why is there a limited number of people

Each session accommodates a maximum of twelve people. A small group means the puppy does not have to face a crowd. It can decide for itself who to approach and for how long, rather than being mobbed by twenty hands at once. The intimate atmosphere is therefore not only more pleasant for people but, above all, gentler on the puppies. On top of that, each session is dedicated to one breed, with only a few puppies from the same litter attending: not a random collection of dogs from different litters and kennels.

The same rule applies to private and corporate lessons: the group remains small there too, with the same quiet zone and the same consideration for how much attention a puppy can handle at any given time.

Cooperation with breeders

We work exclusively with verified breeders we have known and collaborated with for a long time. The puppies arrive vaccinated and at an age when they need socialisation and varied, safe contact with people: the lesson is beneficial precisely during this period. After the lesson, they always return to their mother and littermates.

The breeder is present with the puppies throughout the entire lesson and keeps them under supervision, hygiene and safety are addressed jointly in advance. The cooperation is fair for both parties: we pay the breeder for their time and travel, and we are happy to mention and recommend their kennel on our Instagram page for lessons. Lesson participants often ask about specific breeds and puppies, some are looking for their perfect match among them, and the breeder is on hand to answer any questions.

• Only verified breeders

  We work only with breeders we know: not with random offers.

• Ideal age for socialisation

  Puppies arrive vaccinated at a time when exposure to a diverse group of people benefits them.

• Back to mum and siblings

  After training, the puppies always return to their litter and are not left in our care.

None of this is an add-on we introduced for marketing purposes; it is the foundation upon which we built our entire concept. Yoga is enjoyable for people even without puppies. However, this combination works only if the session is primarily pleasant for the puppy.
