The Experience

Our place is a project to create a relaxed yet stimulating enviroment for people to learn and enjoy with dogs. Is located in a rural setting 1 hr. from Madrid. Now it's used for small training events/workshops related to dog training. Eventually we like to welcome people travelling with horses to stay overnight with us. You'll help with dog walks, care & education or maintenance. We now have 5 energetic dogs looking forward to share with you.

My experience was really nice. I love it! Samuel and David learned me a lot about the dogs. They are wonderful people and each of the dogs have a different personality that makes you love them instantly. Apart from dog training, I participated in other tasks on the shelter property. I liked it because I learned new things that help you in everyday life. Everything that it was said will be offered to me was true, like the food, my own room, and the free days. In my free time I visited the city of Madrid countless times. So i recommend this experience to everyone!🤍

Fue una experiencia enriquecedora dónde he podido aprender mucho sobre la vida del perro, el compromiso con ellos, el respeto que conlleva toda la relación con ellos, una excelente oportunidad para trabajar fomentando la vida sostenible en el campo, y muchos sitios hermosos que recorrer, agradecida con la oportunidad de poder compartir en este lugar ✨

David fue baneado de otras aplicaciones porque simplemente no funciona como líder. Nos vamos antes, por primera vez en toda nuestra experiencia, porque se rompen todos los acuerdos, se trabaja de más, se lava los platos de él y si alguna vez el tiene que lavar los del equipo se enoja, hay que cocinarle y limpiar y no lo cuenta como trabajo, si no hay sol no hay luz, el presupuesto es un día uno y otro dia otro. El anfitrión no debería tener voluntarios. Lo único que vale la pena son los perros. Intentamos hablar con él y que entienda pero no funciona. Tenemos pruebas para quien quiera pedirlas

Manda las pruebas. Estaré encantado de defenderme de estas injurias en el tribunal
