Herz, Hirn, Hund

Thomas Riepe speaks candidly about the overwhelming jungle of training methods and equipment related to dogs. He asks probing questions and refuses to be placated by flimsy arguments that define a painful tug on the leash as an impulse or outdated training methods based on pain and pressure as decades of experience. He does not hesitate to name those who promote a non-violent approach to training that is certainly not perceived as such by the dog, and he examines how these different approaches have developed. Additionally, he includes well-known colleagues such as Clarissa v. Reinhardt, Maria Hense, Christina Sondermann, Ute Blaschke-Berthold, Sabine Neumann, Jörg Tschentscher, Steffi Kohl, and Martina Albert, who also express differing opinions on various topics.
