“KINGDOM OF SMELLS” A dog’s sense of smell is many times superior to a person’s sense of smell. Taking the trail of wild animals, searching for missing people and mines is just a short list of what a dog's nose can do! Unknown to us, the “Kingdom of Smells” is a source of inspiration and motivation that can bring joy and harmony into the life of every dog. Talking about the principles of dog training, this book lays the foundation for effective training that excludes punishment and violence, and prepares for the main issue - the search. “Nose work” is not only search and rescue operations involving professionals, but, first of all, brain work, which our bored pet dogs so often lack. Search work can be a fun game to play at home, in the garden or outside. She helps the dog learn to solve problems on his own, believe in himself, trust his owner and enjoy working together. Search work can be a good replacement or addition to other activities, helping dogs recovering from stress, and even blind dogs, feel more confident and free. Even if your dog is not going to guard the border or inspect luggage at the airport, he can learn to find a lost glove , help collect chanterelles or look for certain ingredients in food. All exercises are divided into independent chapters, which can be studied independently of the others. This allows you to create personalized lessons that suit you and your dog. Detailed step-by-step explanations, illustrations and notes make this book accessible to everyone - from a simple owner to a professional.

ALTERNATIVE SERIES This series brings together books that offer the reader modern methods of training dogs. They are based on the knowledge that dogs are not machines with a set of reflexes for executing commands, but thinking and feeling animals, whose psychology is in many ways similar to ours.
