Experience personal development in an innovative and powerful way with guided interactions with horses and/or dogs.
The animal’s natural response tells a lot about how we communicate, react, set boundaries, trust ourself and lead. They highlight our strengths, weaknesses, fears or blockages, making them fantastic teachers and guides to self-management and empowerement.
No previous animal experience required. You do not need to own an animal. Curiosity and an open mind are enough.
Animal-assisted coaching works on the following areas :
This work is for individuals, leaders, entrepreneurs and teams who want to turn knowledge and theory into something they genuinely feel, experience and then bring and use into their daily life – personal and professional.
We live in times where we are bombarded by information and knowledge. We may know a lot. But has all this material really landed and become an integrated part of our lives? This work with the animals allows for real, tangible integration, so what we know becomes also how and who we are, live and express ourselves.
Available as private sessions, small-group workshops, team experiences and sessions with your own dog or horse.
WITH OUR PACK OF ALASKAN HUSKIES
Work with one dog, several dogs or the entire pack.
Each experience brings a different perspective and different interactions. Some are more based on connection and communication, others will challenge your capacity to stay present and grounded, manage your own energy and use your leadership skills. Each dog has their personality, allowing you to experiment with different individuals and reactions.
With the horses
The horses offer a different pace and quality of interaction. Their sensitivity and physical presence is ideal to work on trust, boundaries, congruence, intention and leadership. Here too, you’ll get to experiment with different personalities and reactions.
All horse-based activities take place from the ground. There is no riding, and no previous horse experience is required.
Experiences with both the huskies and horses are available in multi-day workshops and retreats, as well as in private-session packages.
Each session or workshop combines:
Depending on the session, you will observe, approach, connect or complete a simple activity with an animal.
There is no test and no perfect result to achieve. The value lies in what you notice and feel during the experience and what you learn.
You leave with an experience that stays with you—one that you can draw upon in real situations.
The safety and wellbeing of both people and animals are central to our work.
The dogs and horses you will work with are prepared for this type of interaction, while remaining living beings with their own personalities, boundaries and natural reactions.
Activities are carefully facilitated and adapted to the participants. Group sizes remain small so that everyone receives appropriate guidance and the animals are treated with attention and respect.
All work with the horses takes place from the ground.
WAYS TO WORK WITH THE ANIMALS
