Dog School & Dog Hotel (boarding kennels) in Germany
Country: Germany
Last Activity: 22/01/2012
Description
We are running a dog school in the area of Guetersloh since several years, that means we give courses in educating dogs - or better in educating dog owners. On several times a week we offer our courses and people make single appointments, too. Also we visit people at home, if they have special problems with their dogs.
Four times a week we offer so called play groups in the afternoon, where people come with their dogs to let them play.
At the end of 2008 we bought a house with 10.000 qm land and a little lake on it. We are running the dog school there now and we also build up a dog hotel. Up to 10 dogs can stay with us. They stay in the group altogether during the day, only at night they stay in kennels. Therefore we only take dogs that are getting along with other dogs.
Even though our business is running already, we are not finished in renovating our house and fixing the garden. There are still fences to be put up, rooms to paint ecetera.
We also need help in caring for the dogs. Especially when we are busy with courses or playgroups, somebody needs to look after our hotel dogs. It would be perfect if you were able to handle a group of dogs.
We are a Lesbian couple, 43 and 44 years old, Ilona & Linda. We have a 17 years old daughter staying with us.
We have three dogs on our own, a white canadian shepherd, a Great Dane and a small Terrier Mix from Greece. Also we have 4 cats. At least one of them will try to sleep in your bed.

We are looking for a young woman that likes to work with dogs. It is important that you have experience in handling dogs, you must be able to watch over them for short times when we are out, that means to take care, that they don´t dig holes, don´t fight, don´t do anything wrong :O)
On the other hand we need help in gardening and housework, sometimes there is hard work to be done.
We are living outside of the small town Halle (Westfalen), ZIPCode 33790 (be aware there is another town called Halle!) You can go downtown Halle, Bielefeld or Gütersloh by bus and train. There is a bus stop at our house.
Even though we live rather lonely, we have many customers every day and we offer small events like walks through the wood, barbique, breakfast or brunch and so on. You are always welcome to take part.

Ilona and Linda had been great hosts. Being our first Workaway experience they raised the standards!!!
They were really friendly with a great sense of humor making us feel as part of their family from day one. We stayed with them for two weeks in which we learned many things and had the opportunity to meet many amazing dogs!! We had our own more

This is my first workaway experience and Ilona&Linda definitely set a high standard for it. I stayed for 2.5 weeks and had a lot of fun with Ilona, Linda, their friends, and of course all the animals!! As a city girl, it was quite interesting having goats and rabbits around me while doing the garden job! Ilona told me many things about dogs and more
