Book "With Joy Bring - Contemporary Hunting Dog Training"

Regardless of whether it's duck, goose, crow, or driven hunting for small game – a reliably retrieving dog is indispensable. Dog trainer and forestry engineer Tanja Dautzenberg summarizes the most important training methods for safe retrieving in her guide and provides the reader with valuable assistance in finding the most suitable approach. Retrieving is one of the most important tasks for many hunting dogs. The paths of training in this field are diverse. In the end, however, it is not the applied training method that determines success in hunting practice, but particularly the good relationship between human and dog. This book helps to gain an overview of the multitude of often dogmatically represented training approaches – and to find one's own way for training the hunting assistant to become a reliable retriever. Many paths lead to the goal. This also applies to the training of hunting dogs in the working field "Retrieving." While in the past, pressure was predominantly used, today many hunting dog handlers rely on new, modern methods. The dog and handler work paw in hand to be successful as a team. Using dummies, retrieving items, drag game, and fresh game, the hunting dog is trained under mostly controlled conditions to reliably retrieve objects or game. How the transition from training to retrieving in practice succeeds is explained by the author in this book.
