Hunting behavior is as much a part of a dog's personality as is its way of expressing joy, its way of playing, or its way of communicating. Yet this behavior often triggers feelings of helplessness, of lack of understanding or of personal failure in people. "Why is that so?" asks the author. Without resorting to any means of suppression, giving things up, substitutions or forced behavior, Ulli Reichmann describes a very personal pathway. Through it you can learn to love your dog's hunting behavior and to even use it as a chance to develop true friendship between you and your dog. You will be sent on a journey, accentuated with marvelous pictures. By the end of the book, you will probably see your dog with new eyes. With her "Pathways to Friendship," Ulli Reichmann has launched a movement that is receiving a lot of attention, both in Austria and abroad. The number of dog trainers choosing to learn the peaceful Ullihunde (Ulli-dog) way as an additional training is growing by the day. Far removed from any pack leader stress, the "Ullihunde" method promotes a friendly, enjoyable, relaxed way of handling dogs. After shaking up the German-speaking world, this bestseller is now finally AVAILABLE in ENGLISH.
