Summary/Abstract: The impetus for our contribution was a question from the writer to the language advisory service of the Linguistic Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, what expression to replace the word "venčovisko" with. He stated that users call this a place reserved for dogs, where they can move freely, and they derived it from the non-literary verb "venčiť", which is of Czech origin.
