Independent and non-profit

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 naturally on the assistance dog handlers, we also keep the needs of the assistance dog, the assistance dog trainer, the public and any potential sponsors in mind. Only a concept that suits everyone can develop optimally.
