Building
a Solid Working Foundation Through
The
Natural Instincts of the Dog

|
Dog Training Foreword First off our dog training page was developed to share the methods we currently use to work through the sport of Schutzhund. Our hopes are that this page will bring greater awareness about the working dog we breed and to also be a helpful training guide for anyone looking to improve their dog handling skills. We have learned over the years that a solid working foundation will be the result of balanced dog training methods. To help people understand how dynamic dog training really is, we have posted general training concepts, recommended reading as well as videos through out the site. Although this is not a step by step dog training program, we do want to provide the following insight; dog training requires the same basic principals humans use to achieve skilled abilities. They are as follows: Motivate to perform the task, clearly define the task, give feed back and train repeatedly. The best training results are accomplished when we focus on our relationship with the dog. Trial readiness and desired scores will be the result of dedicated training and a strong bond between you and your dog.

Training Support and Influential People
Menlo Park Schutzhund Club Our home field and the place where we became introduced to the sport of Schutzhund. Without the support of this club we would not be where we are today. Glenn Hansen my husband and the one who introduced me to the amazing German Shepherd and the sport of Schutzhund. My training partner, photographer and videographer. He is also the one that gets me out there to track. Denise Fenzi of Sprite working Belgian Tervuren A successful breeder of the working lines as well as a Nationally recognized obedience coach. She has placed at the Top of AKC events numerous times and is a well achieved Schutzhund competitor. She did an excellent job helping me lay a solid obedience foundation on my girl. We will continue to integrate her methods into our puppy training program.
Joel Monroe of Big Valley Dog Training. Menlo Park Protection Helper, Northwestern Region Training Director and National Schutzhund Competitor. He put the protection foundation on Gjeter and got her pups off to a good start. Dave and Randy of Witmer Tyson Imports founders of Menlo Park Schutzhund Club. Always making sure that we have a great place to train. Randy has been instrumental in maintaining the importance of conformation in our working GSDs.
Claudia Romard - 2006 Vice National Schutzhund Champion and trainer. She gives an excellent seminar and truly does it for the love of the dog. She has always been generous with her advice and we greatly appreciate it. Northwestern Region of United Schutzhund Clubs of America Of course there are many more generous and knowledgeable people within the region that we have been fortunate to work with. Without a National organization such as Schutzhund USA, a supportive Region and club; the path to our success would have been much more difficult. |
