Imagine there was training in working dog sports and no one showed up! That could very well be the future. Fewer and fewer dog sports enthusiasts are choosing working dog sports, formerly known as protection dog sports. But why? A very important reason could be that the training methods of the past no longer fit today's times and are no longer accepted. Nowadays, no one is interested in obedience to the point of being robotic; instead, people want to spend their leisure time with their dogs in a pleasant way. The dog should, just like the human, enjoy the shared activities! This desire led to the creation of the book you are now holding. It is a practical guide for all dog lovers who want to become a team with their four-legged friends and practice working dog sports in a modern way during their leisure time.
