Sport and working dog evaluation, Schutzhund ("protection dog" in German), has been around since the early 1900s. It began as a way to measure the working ability of German Shepherd Dogs. These dogs had begun as herders but were also being used as working dogs. Schutzhund training and testing helped breeders test for the necessary characteristics to keep working ability in the breed. No German Shepherd Dog can be bred in Germany even today without a Schutzhund title, making dogs from these lines highly desirable around the world because they have preserved their original working abilities.The testing today, both in Germany and in the U.S., measures traits required for all kinds of police-related work, such as bomb sniffing dogs, search and rescue, and other activities. It is not easy training but it is open to all breeds in addition to the German Shepherd Dog. Mixed breeds can also compete. Breeds which often excel at Schutzhund include the Belgian Malinois, Dobermans, Rottweilers, Bouviers des Flandres, Giant Schnauzers and others.There are three basic phases of the training and testing: tracking, obedience and protection.

Training a puppy can be a difficult, yet rewarding task. If done properly, you will be rewarded with a loyal friend for life. If done improperly, it can lead to frustration on both the part of the dog and the owner. One of the leading causes of learning disabilities in puppies is not due to defective genes or breeds, but to early separation from the dogs mother. Because dogs have a much shorter life span than humans, they mature and learn at a much faster rate. A puppy learns more in the first 6 months of its life than it does in the remaining years. To break it down even further, many of the dog obedience training basics are not taught by the owner or trainer, but by the puppys mother.In a natural environment, a puppy learns about social structures such as pack leader, dominance, etc from its mother at a very young age. The puppy learns that there are appropriate places to go to the bathroom, appropriate ways to act around the pack leader, and more importantly, patience. If a puppy is separated from its mother too soon, many of these vital skills are not taught and can make the foundation for training much more difficult to establish. Furthermore, a puppy with separation anxiety,...more
