Ethics and legislation

Ethics

Our ethical charter

At Floofy Yoga, animal welfare is not an argument : it is our compass. Each session is designed to respect the puppies' pace, protect their health, and ensure calm, chosen, and supervised interactions. 

Puppies' rhythm first

Limited attendance time, frequent breaks, “cocoon” area inaccessible to the public.

Free interactions, never forced

The puppies decide whether they come and for how long.

Qualified supervision

Audrey leads the class, while a dog trainer supervises the puppies and reads their stress signals.

Limited group size

Small gauge to avoid overstimulation.

Hygiene & security

Clean, quiet, controlled environment; protocols before/during/after sessions.

Supporting the cause

Responsible partnerships (shelters/breeders) and traceable financial contributions.

Our values

The fundamental principles

Animal welfare first

Puppies are never accessories. We respect their pace, encourage free interaction, and stop any activity at the slightest sign of stress.

Responsibility & transparency

Written ethical guidelines, verified partners (shelters/responsible breeders), and traceable financial contributions. We explain our choices and publish our commitments.

Exemplary safety and hygiene

Supervision by a certified instructor, clear instructions. Disinfected mats, calm environment, protocols before/during/after each session.

Shared joy and awareness

An accessible and calming yoga class where we cultivate presence and gentleness. Interactions with the puppies remain spontaneous and respectful.

Legislation

Legal framework & compliance

We apply strict procedures and total transparency, in accordance with the rules in force in Switzerland.

Animal protection

We align our practices with Swiss animal welfare legislation (standards for housing, transport, handling, exposure time, and supervision).

Authorizations and responsibilities

Depending on the activity and the canton, we ensure that we have the necessary authorizations and work with partners (refuges/breeders) who are in compliance with regulations.

Transportation

Short trips, suitable vehicles, breaks, water available; no transport if weather/road conditions are unfavorable for the comfort of the puppies.

Age & socialization

Socialized puppies, monitored by a competent supervisor; never handled in a manner contrary to their stage of development.

Insurance

Operational civil liability, coverage for responders and third parties.

Data & pictures

Compliance with data protection regulations (LPD/GDPR). No photos/videos without informed consent and without stress for the puppies.
