3INTRO
LEO`S CLUB
Dogs and humans have grown ever closer together over thousands of years.
Today they constitute a team capable of achiev-ing great things in many areas of life and work. For most people this relationship has continued developing and become a deep and special bond.
Dogs as friends, partners and members of the family, tackling day-to-day life together, expe-riencing shared emotions and feelings, staying together whenever possible – these things are what true dog lovers find fulfilling.
Leo‘s Club would like to support this lifelong relationship wholeheartedly. We take care of our members and their dogs lovingly and individually. We are a luxury brand, providing everything that makes life with your dog and your dog‘s relation-ship with the family into something really spe-cial – trips, hotel visits, training, furnishings and equipment, accessories, care and assistance, all at the high levels of quality you would expect.
Immerse yourself in the world of Leo‘s Club.

Our pilots and all the rest of the crew are trained in dealing with and caring for dogs. You can be accompanied and looked after during the journey, if that is your preference.
Alternatively, you can enjoy a holiday on a luxury yacht. These yachts are fully equipped to cater for dogs, and the crew is there to take care of you and your dog from start to finish of the voyage, while at sea and when going ashore.

HARMONIOUS FURNISHINGS CREATE A SENSE OF WELL-BEING AND PEACE OF MIND.
When imagination and workmanship meet sensitivity and technical expertise, a space is created which responds to all one‘s needs and engages all the senses.
Regardless of whether you‘re living in a penthouse, your villa or a hotel, you shouldn‘t have to go without this aesthetic charm, this level of quality and style personal to you.
Life with a dog is an enriching experience, and we provide the furnishings for this. As a special service, in Leo‘s Club hotels we offer interior design for guests accompanied by their four-pawed friends.

16 17LIVING WITH DOGS
When it comes to furnishing we‘re specialists in ‚living with dogs‘. At the same time there‘s no need to do without anything on offer from the world of designer furniture. We‘ll be pleased to furnish your room for you.
Anyone who shares a home with a dog, or even with several, knows well enough in what respects compromises need to be made. But first and foremost you know that your dog brings out the atmosphere of your rooms in a special way. The pro-fessional furnishers used by Leo‘s Club know the materials they need to work with to ensure that the harmonious effect on dogs and their owners is an unalloyed pleasure for all concerned.

SERVICES
At Leo‘s Club we have a variety of furnishing op-tions in our repertoire. Our international contacts, and the design options provided by individual customisation, enable us to focus on your own personal tastes even at the planning stage.
Our strength lies in our overall planning. We show regard for detail, evaluate and test materials, and only work with these when we are fully con-vinced of their quality and suitability.
Even if your furnishing is complete, should you still wish to retrofit something so that you and your dog feel properly at home, our furnishing department is always at your disposal.
Our architects will also take your dog into ac-count. We are at your side from the planning stage through to implementation of a building project. This ensures that people and their dogs can live together in harmony, and spares them any subsequent disappointments.

COMMERCIAL FURNISHING OUR CUSTOMERS
Our close business association with the construc-tion of large-scale projects in the hotel and hotel resort sector has given us many years of thorough and detailed knowledge of its requirements.
There exists a growing market responding to the wishes both of hoteliers and guests to offer and make available furnishings and facilities which are satisfactory to dog owners in all respects.
We know what materials are required for this. We know that furnishings which are suitable for dogs should not mean that you have to accept compro-mises in terms of stylishness and the wish to feel really comfortable.
We ensure that the needs of dogs and their ow-ners are attuned to each other, and create our furnishing designs with this in mind. For over twenty years our partner company Suissepromotion AG has completed thousands of projects all over Switzerland
tailored to the needs of families and their dogs. Latest major projects in Lugano:
- Parco della Roggia Lugano- City Residenz Lugano
Our current projects in the hotel and resort sector include:
- Valbella Resort Davos, with 110 apartments at a range of price levels and offering a variety furnishing and décor options. - The Laax Alpine Resort with its particular architectural attractiveness. A showpiece amongst hotel resorts.

CRAF TSMANSHIP OF HIGH QUALITY
As with all other areas of our shop, nothing is left to chance or mass manufacture - including apparently everyday articles.
We design everything ourselves, as with this collar and lead set. Our saddler determines what mate-rials to use and we decide the colour combination. Our designers devise the fastening mechanism, and this special product is then yours at the end of the process.
SHOP
22 23SHOP
For us, aesthetic appeal is a key requirement – even in small things.
With our collections we are completely commit-ted to fulfilling this requirement.
That‘s why we look hard for particularly exclusive designs.
We offer an ever-changing variety of choice items for sale, and combine these with up-to-the-minute brand awareness.
What can be found on our ‚shopping street‘?High-class designer collars, and collars from our own saddlery. Dog beds made with Italian crafts-manship and distinguished with the Designer Award. Stylish party and outdoor fashion. Whe-ther individual articles, tailor-made and fancy collections, or very much the ‚lady‘ or gentleman‘ – again and again we look for and find unusual items. You‘ll be surprised at what it‘s possible to source!
Top ‚furniture‘ – as head turners or just for the comfort of it, whether cuddle cups for small dogs or big cosy cushions for large ones. Whether you‘re looking for the affectionately playful or the functionally straightforward, at our shop you‘ll find what you‘ve always had in mind. You‘ll be pleasantly surprised at bowls that dogs will be hungry just to look at but which are so skilfully produced that they also easily pass the practicality test. Exceptional exclusivity underscores your personality as well as your dog‘s.

You can see from our shop range that there‘s no need for you to neglect your individuality or your personal preferences. In our ‚Dog Furniture‘ section you‘ll discover all the important and wonderful items that bring design and everyday practi-cality into harmony.
Dog furniture has to blend in compatibly with the existing interior design.
What a wonderful sight it is when your dog settles down to relax, comfortable and untroubled, in his designer dog bed! But to achieve this, besides creative development work there also needs to be an understanding of your dog‘s needs.

27DOG TRAINING
ONLY IF YOU‘VE MASTERED THE RULES CAN YOU USE THEM IN WAYS THAT BEST SUIT YOU.
Here‘s a sentence that certainly applies to the training of dogs: „It can never be too early, and it‘s never too late!“ The one thing of importance is to identify one‘s own training objectives, and then to implement them consistently. An insight we have gained from conversations with our professional dog trainers is that a dog can only become a real partner and acknowledged family member if he has attended a good ‚school‘.
That‘s why we offer a special LC training programme – so that living and going away together can become relaxing enjoyment.
DOG TRAINING
28 29DOG TRAINING
Before you have your dog enjoy the pleasures of a Leo‘s Club training programme, we will make an assessment of the current situation in a mutual discussion with you, either at your home or at the chosen training location. LC trainers have exact specifications for this, and so can quickly establish which training sessions need to be worked through. Our certificated LC dog training programme is results-oriented and focuses on the following aims:
*Calm, fear-free and stress-free behaviour in the area of the hotel and its surroundings *Relaxed when in contact with children, staff and other dogs *Remaining quiet whilst in the hotel *Good behaviour and very well lead-trained for dog-sitting and dog-walking *Able to follow and obey the ‚sit‘, ‚down‘ and ‚stay‘ commands
Our training programme provides a sense of predictability and certainty in the relationship between you and your dog, so that you can feel confident in trusting him in any situation.
When both parties are satisfied with the training outcomes your dog receives his LC certificate.
The aim is for you to be able to relax and enjoy hotel, restaurant and event visits together in fu-ture.
The only condition is for you to be prepared to be consistent in your responsibility to ensure good training.
LEO`S CLUB CERTIFICATEHOW DO WE APPROACH THINGS IN LC TRAINING, AND WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS?
30 31DOG TRAINING
The LC certificate is a passport to membership of Leo‘s Club. You can find details of our services for LC members on our website: www.leos-club.com.
As a member, you and your brand new ‚graduate‘ are most welcome in all LC hotels and in many other hotels and restau-rants working in partnership with us.
The true joy of sharing life with a dog begins when the rules of cooperative living are practised and adhered to. That‘s why this dog training issue is close to our hearts. If we want to achieve the goal that our dogs are welcome in a demanding environment, they must first and foremost demonstrate good behaviour. In reality it‘s only a matter of a few sensible exercises, but to succeed there is a need for professional supervision, a clear appraisal of the dog‘s character, and a training programme attuned to this.
The benefits and objectives of our training programmes are set high, and there is no room for compromise in this area. We work together with the best trainers in each region. This means that our programme is geared to real needs, and concentrates entirely on the essentials.
As a club member you can be certain that your trainer is always there to guide you. We know your dog, and can support you with help and advice. In LC hotels you and your dog will be looked after and cared for in a special and preferential way.

THROUGH TOGETHERNESS AND DEVOTION A LIVING CREATURE DEVELOPS INTO A FEELING BEING.
It‘s not only people – many dogs also suffer from never really being able to achieve tranquillity, and constantly encountering excitement and pressure to conform. This can lead to serious behavioural disorders and even psychosomatic illnesses.
Make sure your dog always regains his calm. We‘ll show you how this can be achieved.
34 35
In its structure, your dog‘s body is to a great extent similar to that of a human. Many dogs suffer from muscle tenseness, stomach and intestinal problems, mental stress. We can help ourselves when we re-cognise the symptoms – our dogs can‘t.
We must become more aware of and sensitive to the physical needs of our charges.
Anything that helps relieve tensions in us will certainly help your dog. We recommend massage, aratanka and also pilates for him.
Use aromatherapy for an experience focusing on the senses and shared with your dog. A dog‘s sense of smell is well known to be far superior to ours and is particularly responsive to aroma-therapy.
Nowadays naturopathic treatments for dogs are well developed and established. Begin with the gentle therapy of homeopathy, and let this work positively on the state of health of your dog.
The aim of our ‚Leo‘s Care‘ Foundation is to help dogs in need all over the world. Our approach is to treat particularly problematic cases on a prio-rity basis.
Our work ranges from providing warm accom-modation for homeless dogs in winter to dogs in distress the world over, in need of operations, food, care and a loving family.
We support veterinary experts, families, and animal protection societies wherever they are in-tensively and honestly concerned with such cases. Our specialist lawyers champion canine rights and are very active on our behalf.
To enable this to happen, we transfer a proportion of the LC earnings from our work to the Leo‘s Club Foundation.
We would be pleased and grateful if you could support our projects financially or with your pro-fessional input.

TO SHARE HAPPINESS AND WELL-BEING IS THE HIGHEST HUMAN ASPIRATION.
For me and my colleagues, and for members of Leo‘s Club, dogs in our society are like family members. They accompany us on our travels, to restaurants, and in our sporting activities. They look after our homes and protect every member of the family. They are not only a person‘s best friend, but also – and above all – an indicator of the state of a particular civilisation.
Societies in which pets are not valued usually have a problem.
Leo‘s Club is keen to contribute to changing this situation by uniting people and dogs. In that sense we consider it important for our dogs to be helpful to fellow canines. Our projects in support of dogs in need are backed by our veterinary specialists and lawyers, so that we can help as many dogs as possible.
My love of dogs has enriched my life deeply. It‘s now time for Leo‘s Club to enrich the lives of dogs.
