The program «Camping Cum Cane» led by a licensed dog trainer, aims at presenting the dog owners (that is our guests) with the responsibility that lies with them and their dogs, but also towards other campsite guests. The main objective of the project is to respect your own, but also someone else's space.

the more bold, it is possible to pass the "Camping Cum Cane test" at

prearranged time, and last 30-60 minutes with the trainer.
Below is some information from Camp Slatina's dog trainer,Lucija Marenić, which you may find useful.
Parkour
Parkour is a natural method of body development with the aim of moving in a fast, safe and efficient / effective way using not only your body but also the mind. Parkour method gives the possibility of crossing physical, but also mental barriers no matter where they are located. The emphasis is on efficiency rather than on aesthetics.
Parkour is not invented, because such movement through the surroundings has always existed, but in time has slowly formed in order to safely, quickly and efficiently get from point A to point B. Parkour is not competitive. Each person or animal moves differently and overcomes obstacles in different ways.
Benefits for dog owners
I like to say, 'The best dog is a tired dog!'
It implies it is important to meet his needs, but in line with your schedule: movement = walking, playing, feeding, cuddling, determining different tasks. With a little good will and professional assistance, you will enjoy your vacation carefree.
Mental stimulation as well as physical exercise exhausts any dog. That is why the Camping Cum Cane program was created and a
dog trainer was hired to awaken your dog's senses, allow additional movement,
and provide maximum freedom as much as possible, making your stay at Camp
Slatina even more comfortable.
Coexistence of campsite guests with dogs with the ones without dogs
These obligations relate to
their four-legged friend, as well as to other camp guests who (currently) have
no pets with them.
The aim and the mission is to respect each other and the space we currently live in. The program «Camping Cum Cane» will present certain rules to dog owners, teach them how to avoid unpleasant situations with other dogs and guests of the campsite, and make sure that everyone enjoys their vacation to the maximum.
Dog training equipment
All equipment is handmade of iron, concrete and wood in order to be long-lasting and immobile, except insofar as necessary when performing exercises. The following equipment is mounted for the purpose of performing exercises:
- jumps
- tunnel
- see-saw
- suspension bridge
- log bridge
- suspended obstacles
- climbing frame
The exercise equipment is arranged from the less demanding to more challenging ones. Some pieces of equipment are not static, such as jumps, thus it is possible to use the equipment in different order.
All exercises require physical, but also mental strength. To support your four-legged
friend while performing exercises and overcoming obstacles, you as the owner
will be with them, and the dog trainer will also be at your disposal during
your stay at Camp Slatina.
