Philosophy

Hello everyone, new information and the new office team introduces itself.

Monika has been active in dog sports for over 30 years and accompanies family, sports and therapy dog ​​handlers, as well as problem dogs on their journey. We are pleased that more dog handlers are developing an interest in dog sports and this year we are organizing the Swiss Championships of all breeds in Mollis. This represents a huge challenge for us. Let’s get started.

Back to the origin… Jacky dog ​​Onatha launched the ABRI association in 2010 and thus also the therapy visits with the therapy dogs. The four- and two-legged team visits homes and clinics for children and young people, association Kifa (cerebral paralyzed children), the Zurich Lighthouse and nursing and retirement homes.

Do you actually know why Monika is so committed to people and animals? Monika would not have survived if the animals had not accompanied her by her side. Do you know the woman “behind” the dog trainer?

For everyone who would like to find out more about Monika’s life story, we are organizing an evening in which Monika talks about her life (we will announce the date after the summer holidays).

We are at Monika’s side and this is the push that makes new projects and offers possible. This is exactly why you can now book Monika also for presentations and discussion groups: psychological areas, schools, universities, police and security services. She talks about her way out of being a victim through self-discipline. By becoming a mother, Monika experienced the feeling of unconditional love.

This was another turning point in her career and spurs her on to continue fighting with new projects for children’s homes, clinics, retirement homes, children with cerebral palsy… she continues to fight for all of these people. She experienced different types of abuse and can reflect on this from the victim’s perspective in all areas of the emotional world. The special thing about it is that you can ask Monika questions and she answers them openly and honestly.

Because of this, the power book about Monika’s life story is in the making. We are happy for any tips, authors, publishers and other contacts. This also applies to the ABRI Hall, a place where rays of hope arise and encounters can take place: dog training, therapy dog ​​visits, events, sporting competitions, children’s homes and much more.

The terrain we are looking for: Riding hall, Factory hall Commercial hall or a piece of land (approx. 1000m2)

We look forward to any input. You can find more information here.

This is us: Fiammetta, Lilian, Sharon, Gabi and Miriam step up their game in the office to be at Monika’s side with drive and teamwork.
