Kuvasz and Kuvasz "cousins" do therapy work

Cornelia's Cuvac, Benni (far right), helps Gitta the Kuvasz (left) and Jana the Cuvac (in the tire), learn about therapy work.
 Benni the Cuvac visits residents of a rehabilitation facility in Austria.
Cornelia in Austria shares these photos of her Cuvac Benni as he works as a TherapieHunde. The link to this organization is   http://www.therapiehunde.org/

Cornelia shares their training philosophy for TherapieHunde: "We are training our dogs in different ways, we use TellingtonTouch and some other non-aversive methods, much practice, a little obedience....we want dogs who like to work, free and by him- or herself...dogs know much better what humans need, and their people have to learn to let the dogs work free."
