Dog Training Basics

• There is different types of training available depending on what use you want for this dog. The Schutzhund program has a BH which is good to determine that your dog is of sound body and mind. It tests a dogs obedience and temporment. If they don't pass this test then they can not go forward.
  
  Schutzhund is tracking, obedience and protection... depending on what you want it is a test the Germans developed to see the breed worthiness of the German Shepherd Dog.. altho any dog can get a Schutzhund title= If they can do the work = they can get the title. AKC has nothing at all to do with this.
  
  Schutzhund has become a competitive sport for the working dog and the police dogs alike.

  It's nice because you can pick and choose which lessons you want and work on these individually. They lessons are for skills that a service dog needs to learn.The home page is:

• Hi! I am a Service Dog user, and he's my righthand man...this dog changed my entire life and it's wonderful with him in it, helping me do things for myself I cannot do without his assistance.
  
  I trained him myself. He's nearly 2 and does 40 commands +.
  
  Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DeporresSe… and join us. It's a group where owners learn how to train their service dogs, and I have learned a lot about the laws and training there.
  
  Have fun...and GOOD LUCK. :)
