Natural Dog Seminar 2019 Delegate Information
Venue & Logistical Information
Hotel Institute Montreux has been kind enough to once again host the Saturday seminar in exchange for a CHF1000 donation to their charitable cause, the SEG Foundation. Hotel Institute Montreux, Avenue Des Alpes 15, is a 3-5 minute walk from the train station. The closest car park is the Coop, a 1 minute walk. Alternatively there is parking in the Forum or in the Place du Marché.
This year, for the first time, there is a Sunday morning session with Jo Arbon (Holistic Hound) and Dr. Conor Brady (Dogsfirst) taking place in Jardinerie Saint Triphon, Ollon, home of the legendary Venus & Rose Tearoom (which has the most amazing cakes by the way). Just off the Ollon exit on the motorway, free parking is plentiful and social dogs are allowed (by prior arrangement please).
