Dummytraining

Retrievers were breeded for retrieving ducks during the hunting. Dummytraining allows the dogs to use their instincts and are concerned with species-appropriate work for body and head. But Dummytraining is not only fun for the dogs, the humans like it too. It doesn’t require much equipment and can be practised during the walks. Dummytraining shouldn’t increase hunting behaviour.
We train in different locations around the lake of Zurich. There is beginner class where the dogs can learn the basics. Than we train together in a group different situations.

costs: 25.- per lesson
The Dummytraining lessons are normally hold in German, but of course I will explain everything in English too.
