Team development with dogs
Humans and dogs are social beings. Both are based on trusting relationships, reliability and positive experiences. Successful teamwork arises from open communication, clarity of roles and goals, enthusiasm, mutual interest and initiative. This applies to teams from all professional areas, sports teams or families. The use of a dog offers a varied and fun alternative to traditional training and seminars. Working with animals creates a great team spirit. The joint experience, away from the office and the daily grind, binds a team together and gives new impulse to make collaboration even more effective.

How it works
The participants go through various practical exercises related to the goal and experience them through mirroring of the dogs. In the course room, we give the topics more depth with scientifically based models and ensure that they are transferred to everyday life. Intensive self-reflection and clear feedback aim for a permanent improvement of inner attitude and external effect. Since the lessons learned through training with dogs are very effective and sustainable, your valuable time is used efficiently.
Every mindpet® training session is individually tailored to your needs and topics. In our preliminary discussion, we will discuss the objectives together. Possible focal points could be:
The desires and expectations of employees are changing. They want to be much more involved, work creatively, have a say and actively help shape their work. This also has broad implications for leadership. Inspirational leadership revolves around the emotional component, relationships and values. It particularly emphasizes meaning, inspiration and a motivating vision, whereby employees recognize the ‘why’ in their work.
The structures of organizations are shifting from vertical and hierarchical to horizontal and dispersed. In so-called “self-managing teams”, leadership tasks and responsibility are shared within the team and employees are empowered to make their own decisions. The change to shared leadership and self-organization poses challenges for many teams and calls for different skillsets, clear guidelines and continuous improvement.
Our lives are slowly developing from lockdown into a new everyday life. Teams are on their way to a new working environment between the home office and the corporate office. When teams take the time to design and promote hybrid work models together, all participants — whether in the room or remote — will feel engaged, valued and equal.
Resilience can be consciously encouraged and trained. Especially in times of increasing external and internal challenges, it is becoming more and more important to develop individual skills in order to deal with these challenges and stay healthy. These skills also have a great influence on effective cooperation.
