        Rhodesian Ridgeback richtig verstehen: Zusammenleben, Erziehung & Beschäftigung

        by Jansen, Karin

        Rhodesian Ridgebacks impress through athletic prowess, confidence and manner. They do not have a will to please, but ask us what we can do for them. The owner faces the challenge of finding an appropriate way to deal with their hunting instinct and the frequent skepticism of anything unknown. The nature of these dogs as well as emphatic training and occupation are the main concerns of this book, dealing with the breed’s internal rather than external characteristics. Jan Nijboer (Natural Dogmanship®): „Following the advice given in this book, the Rhodesian Ridgeback can enrich the life of every human who – like the Ridgeback himself, is looking for more depth in a relationship!”

        by Karen Laker, Sue Holstead and Ruth MacGill

        Get fit and have fun with your dog! Wag & Tone is ideal for improving muscular conditioning, co-ordination, balance and overall fitness – for all kinds of dogs and people. Wag & Tone has been developed by dog trainers and a fitness coach. It fills the gap between basic puppy classes and training for competitive dog sports such as agility, while complementing all dog activities. As well as improving fitness together and having fun, with Wag & Tone you and your dog will develop an understanding and a firmer bond, whether your dog is a pet or working animal. Wag & Tone needs little equipment. Many of the exercises are done just on the ground or with mats, cones and steps, and can be done in the home. Some need a few cavaletti, a ladder or a gym ball. All Wag & Tone exercises are approved by a fitness coach (for people) and an animal physiotherapist. Suitable for canines and people of all ages and levels of fitness, these exercises will help improve your tone, whatever your starting point. The demonstration videos show exactly how each exercise should be done. You can put the ebook on your iPad and take it to your exercise area! This ebook is also for instructors who want to use Wag & Tone in their classes.
