Graphic "non-profit independent"

Pfotenpiloten is a non-profit organisation that campaigns for better groundwork. To do so, we form diverse partnerships – while at the same time taking care to remain independent of interest groups.

Our independence is central to our work. We therefore do not train assistance dog teams and never will.

Although the focus is of course on the owners, we also keep the needs of the dog, trainer, public and sponsor in mind.

Only a concept that suits everyone can develop optimally.
