Location

Our address is Dobravica pri Velikem Gabru 9, 8213 Veliki Gaber. It’s a small village 15 min east from Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. The closest airport is Brnik, Ljubljana, 35min away. We’re only one hour from Trieste, Zagreb and Klagenfurt, 2 hours from Venezia, 3.5 hours from Wien, 4 hours from Munich. It’s a nice place for vacations, Adriatic See is just one hour south and Alps are just one hour north.

From a highway Ljubljana-Zagreb you can already see us: take an exit BIC, turn LEFT, then first RIGHT (behind a big house that will be hopefully soon be a hotel), keep RIGHT in Y crossing, drive through the fields, through the village and 30m after the last house on a left, turn left to a new-made house and our cool agility roof  with an artificial grass!

Hope to see you there!

In a year and a half since we are here, we have had visitors from Australia, Japan, Chile, USA, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Italy, Austria and Croatia. So yes, everything is possible :)

    Hi there Silvia,

    I would be really glad if you could give some informations about how a person from another country can get to your classes/seminars.
    EX: The closest airport, places to stay with dogs, if is needed to rent a car, etc.

    Thanks,

    Joana

      Driving-distance-other-countries are easy, flying gets somewhat more complicated. The closest airport is in Brnik, it’s called Ljubljana or Jozeta Pucnika. It’s 30, 40 min by car from LoLaBuLand. Renting a car there makes things easier, if necessary, I can play taxi too:). Another airports you can use that are all one hour away are Trieste (Italy), Klagenfurt (Austria) and Zagreb (Croatia). Venezia and Graz are two hours, Wien and Verona three, Munich four. You can rent a car or take a train to Ljubljana and I can pick you up there.

      There is a hotel opening in few months at walking distance (5min on feet) from LoLaBuLand and there is another place close-by renting rooms. I’ll have a complete info on hotels in a week or so.

    Hi Silvia,
    I’m very interested in your Seminars/camps in April 2011:) Im from Germany and I would love to participate :)
    Is it possible to take the train with my dog? (She loves the train;) ) Where can we rent a room? Do you have any information about thar?
    Is there more information about everything?

    Thanks, Greetings from Germany :)

      Perfect, April camp still has some free spots! It’s no problem to travel by train with the dog, I used to do that a lot. If you come without the car, then the best is to rent bed&breakfast room at the walking distance from the center, I can find you one if you decide to come. The prices for rooms are good in that area, it’s not a very touristic one :)

    Hi! I have been drooling over your videos for a long time -- someday I hope to see you in person. :)
    I just wanted to say that your new site is wonderful and let you know that I saw a typo -- Adriatic See should be Adriatic Sea in the first paragraph. I have typos in my blog all the time and appreciate people letting me know about them. Please don’t post this on the site! I don’t want to look mean! :) I can’t wait for my first video from you -- your dogs are so motivated! You are doing so much to help dogs and owners all over the world.

    Hey Sylvia,

    How would one go about attending your puppy school? It’s one of my biggest ambitions to learn from you :)

      LoLaBu on February 23, 2011 at 20:57

      Not sure exactly what you’re interested in… Our normal every-14-days puppy class, long distance puppy classes or every-day puppy classes within summer camps?

    Lindzey Wills on March 7, 2011 at 15:32

    Sorry about that, I should specify a bit more :)
    I meant the every day puppy classes within your summer camps.

      Would April be possible for you? April is full as far as handling is concerned, but I still have free spots for April puppy and foundation class. If you’re interested, just let me know to reserve you a spot.

    Unfortunately I would be unable to attend for at least 2 years, as I’m in college right now. One thing is for sure- I’ll be seeing you one day!

    Hi Sylvia,

    I saw your dvd of ready/steady/go , and I’m in love with the landscape where it is included, I suppose it is where you live?
    is there something you can rent for vacation?

    I would also like at the summer camp, when is this planned?

      LoLaBu on December 7, 2011 at 14:20

      It’s mostly Corsica in the video :) Lolabuland camps will again be in April, July and August -- I’ll publish more info in January. It might be I’ll need to limit the registration to long-distance students only though as there is so much interest there won’t be room for all…
