Quality and trust come first at Liesl: even though all our sitters are verified, Liesl offers its own training programme – as the only dog sitting platform in Switzerland. The Liesl Academy – powered by Honovi. Course instructor Tommy Mörgeli is a qualified dog trainer with over 15 years of experience.

Graduates of the Liesl Academy are recognised by the badge on their sitter profile. In the course, they learn:

• Role & Responsibility: What dog sitters really need to deliver.

• The Dog's Needs: Exercise, safety, rest, social contact.

• Stress & Separation Anxiety: Recognising it early and responding correctly.

• Dog Language: Reading and understanding body signals.

• Natural Authority: Calm, clarity, confidence.

• Handling & Practice: First contact, lead work, video analysis.

• Emergencies & Toxic Substances: Identifying risks and responding correctly when it matters.

• Assessment & Completion: Reflection, feedback, basic qualification.

For the best possible care of dogs – and peace of mind for you.
