Alsatians Annexe Battersea Berkshire Handler Jump Kennels Shepherd Shepherds Teaching Trainer Windsor
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken at Bellmead Kennels in Old Windsor, Berkshire, England during the early 1930s, showcases the dedication and skill of trainers as they teach a group of German Shepherds (also known as Alsatians) the art of jumping. The Country Annexe of Battersea Dogs Home, a renowned organization for rescuing and rehoming dogs, provided a sanctuary for these magnificent animals, offering them a second chance at life. In this image, a female trainer, dressed in a simple yet practical outfit, expertly guides one of the dogs through the jumping exercise. Her calm demeanor and focused expression convey her deep connection with the animal, as she encourages it to leap over a series of hurdles. The other dogs in the background, some in mid-jump and others waiting their turn, display the same determination and eagerness to learn. The serene setting of Bellmead Kennels, with its lush greenery and open fields, creates a harmonious atmosphere, allowing the dogs to thrive and grow under the care of dedicated trainers. This historical photograph not only captures the essence of the training process but also highlights the importance of the human-animal bond and the transformative power of proper training and care. The early 1930s marked a significant period in the history of dog training, as methods began to shift towards more positive reinforcement techniques. This photograph serves as a testament to the progress made during this time and the enduring commitment of organizations like Battersea Dogs Home to the welfare of dogs.
