Training

We tell training from a dog point of view. Some of it is our humans’ attempts to train us, some is our more successful efforts to train our humans.

With an Entlebucher Mountain Dog, Mum always says you need to train us before we train you. We can assure you, that we are more patient, more determined and more stubborn than you will ever be. As a result, we’ll have you trained in no time. Of course, we are also eagre to please, so if you put in a little effort you will have us eating out of your hand… off the counter… out of the fridge… off the table! You get the idea.
