Retrieving with Joy with Gerd Kohler
When an owner starts to train retrieving tasks with his dog a complex communication begins. As humans, we normally focus on this task from our perspective and not from the point of view of a dog. Gerd helps us to see retrieving through the eyes of a dog. This leads to an understanding of the influence our emotions and body language have in retrieving. We learn a lot about ourselves and our relationship with dogs. We become aware of our communication with dogs and the influence we have over their behaviour strenghening the bond between us and them.
