I lived with Triona, Dean and the dogs for 7 weeks. For me the most important thing about this experience it's the dogs. I fell in love with all of them (except F. haha) and I appreciate everything that Triona taught us about her job and the dóberman breed. About the work, we had to clean and take care of the dogs when T & D are not in the house. You have to be patient with the dogs and really get to know them to make your work easier. For me, it was a pleasure. I'll carry them forever in my heart. Also, Ventry It's AMAZING, the bedroom was really nice and it has a private bathroom. Thank u❤️

Words cannot express how meaningful this experience has been for my life. Surrounded by breathtaking nature and living this collaborative exchange brought a profound transformation—one I'll carry forever in my heart. Every moment reminded me how incredible it is to be alive. Being in this home with such a special family made perfect sense. Breathing cynology again and learning from Triona and Dean renewed my passion for dogs and the Doberman breed. Thank you for your care and patience. I leave Ireland filled with joy, gratitude, and hope to see you again soon!

A experiência foi incrível. Triona e Dean me deixaram super a vontade e foi uma troca muito positiva. A casa fica num vilarejo perto do mar e a vista do quarto é realmente incrível. O trabalho é alimentar os cães, limpar as áreas comuns da casa e alimentar as galinhas e patos. Nos meus dias livres fui fazer caminhadas e conhecer a região que é surpreendentemente bela e fantástica. Triona sempre me deu ótimas dicas dos lugares para conhecer. Vá com a mente aberta e aprecie a companhia dos cães e eles te darão muito amor 💛 Obrigada Triona e Dean pela incrível experiência. Saudades de vocês 💛

Estuvimos con Triona y Dean durante 10 semanas, no sentimos al principio abrumados por la cantidad de perros a cuidar, y por las horas extras que se trabajan. Me sentí decepcionado por qué las horas no se respetan, sobre todo los fines de semana. Pensé que podríamos ser amigos pero no fue así, me sentí abrumado por el mal ambiente en la casa, por el desorden y mal olor.
