The Healing Reindeer of Konnevesi are far more than charming northern animals. They play an active role in guided wellbeing sessions, where their calm nature and the surrounding forest environment help visitors slow down, reconnect with themselves and gain new insights. For companies, reindeer-assisted coaching brings an unforgettable twist to team days and wellbeing activities; for individuals, it offers a peaceful pause from everyday busyness.
Parantavat Porot are also an important resource for training hunting dogs to behave safely around reindeer, an essential skill for anyone travelling to northern Finland’s vast wilderness areas. In the controlled and supervised setting provided here, dogs can learn to stay calm around reindeer while being kept safely on a line. The reindeer are accustomed to dogs, and the training environment is designed to ensure the wellbeing of both animals.
The method focuses on positive reinforcement and calm behaviour, helping dogs build confidence and reliability. The goal is a “reindeer-safe” dog — one that can travel through northern landscapes without causing stress or danger to wildlife.
A visit to Parantavat Porot is a uniquely soothing encounter where nature, animals and wellbeing come together — a gentle and memorable experience found only in Konnevesi.
