Description
I'm currently renovating a more than 667 year old mill. No-one knows how old it really is, 1591 was the first time it the mill was mentioned in a text. I bought it 18 month ago and still, every day, I discover new things. For instance it took me 12 month to find a room below the barn that had been successfully hiding behind a build in cupboard for at least 20 years or an oak roof disguising as a wall in the garage. You see adventure guaranteed!
The next projects I need to attack are to finish the installation of the wood heating unit , to build a waste water tank, repair the dam of the lakes, and and and

Then, there is my pack of couch wolfes (e.g. "Dog") with 5 related members of which the youngest 2 are about a year old. I am about to start training with the pups, it would be great to have some sort of an apprentice that works simultaniously with the second sibling. I'm an instructor for animal based Therapy and service dogs for handicapped and/or traumatised people. I am looking for a middle way between 1-on-1 training and Group training in order to simplify the basic training for Service dogs.
