Free introduction

Nicole with rescue dog Louie

"Thanks to Vanessa, I was finally able to truly understand Louie and his needs ! She notices the smallest details and is sensitive to both dog and human . Thanks to her extensive knowledge and advice, we were both able to develop further and overcome challenges as a team."

Nathalie von
"Siara Dog Training"

"As a trainer specializing in separation anxiety, I know how difficult it is to find expert care. This requires someone with a deep understanding of dogs and empathy for their charges. And Vanessa is exactly that kind of person. I value her immensely as a colleague."

Daniela with rescue dog Ilse

"Vanessa has been with us for four years now. First as a trainer for our Benni and then as a consultant in the search for our new family member. We are very sorry that we are almost 650 km apart - Ilse would be in excellent hands with her and the drive!"

Goodbye guilty conscience

Keeping dogs can be a burden on the environment, and we need to talk about it. It's not about being perfect right away. Behind my concept is the desire to make things a little better every day.

Because we only have one planet to walk our dogs on. 🌍

How does it work?

Time out for you, quality time for your dog.

You take care of yourself, I'll do the rest. Whether you want to bridge your workload, need time for yourself, or simply want regular quality time for your dog: I'm the right person for you.

My offers & prices

A black dog rolls around in the grass and looks very content.

My promises to you:

Including pick-up and delivery service

I will pick up and drop off your dog from your home or an agreed-upon location. All dogs travel comfortably in individual crates in my quiet, electric, and air-conditioned van.

Professionally trained dog walker

I've been working in behavioral counseling for five years and continually invest in continuing education—either as a participant or as a speaker. With me, there's no "bro science," no alpha posturing, and no pack nonsense.

Harmonious and needs-oriented

I deliberately keep my group sizes small because I place great value on harmony and similar interests. Even older and physically challenged dogs get their money's worth with me.

A woman is sitting in a meadow. She is laughing. In front of her are two medium-sized dogs, facing sideways.

Hey! I'm Vanessa.

And we should have a chat if you value non-violent, sustainable, and professional care for your dog.

More about me

Hast du noch Fragen?

01. We get to know each other on the phone.

You book your free initial consultation, and we'll see if we're a good fit. You tell me a little about your dog, and I'll answer your questions.

02. I will meet you and your dog on site.

If you'd like your dog to become part of the LAUFWERK program, we'll schedule a free in-person meeting during the phone consultation. You and your dog will have the opportunity to get to know me in peace and quiet during a relaxed walk, and we can clarify any final questions.

03. Integration into the group

Once the three of us have agreed on the best course of action, we'll begin the integration process. Each dog will receive the time they need, and I'll share this information with you transparently. I charge a flat fee per walk for the integration period. This fee will be deducted from your subscription upon signing the contract.

At LAUFWERK, I focus on holistic dog walking. Good for your dog, good for you, and good for the environment.

My values

Mindfulness

I guide the group sensitively and calmly on our daily adventures, making sure that strangers and animals do not feel disturbed by us.

Trust

Your dog is family, and I will treat him that way. I promise you that a non-violent and needs-based approach is the only option for me.

Responsibility

We have exactly one planet, which we inhabit with our dogs. Behind dasLAUFWERK is a system that protects the environment without causing additional harm. You can find out more on my " sustainable concept " page.
