My name is Phil Hoelcher and I am representing Expert Village.com this morning and we are going to be talking a little bit about the sport of Schutzhund. We are going to try to show you a little bit about all three phases; the tracking, obedience and protection and give you an idea today a little bit of what this sport is all about. This will be a little courage test. Now again this is to test the dog for its heart, nerves and so on because the man will be running down the field a little bit showing some threatening moves and the dog has to forget all of that and just go and do its job. Now with her we are working a little bit on control without me holding her. I want her to sit there until I tell her she can go. Sit, sit. That’s a nice girl. Sit, very nice and even though he is coming she has to sit. Look. Nice strong hit; the grip is good. Now we will see if she remembers her release the guard and again, good, little pressure. Now again that was real good, so for this time I am going to let her have her reward; that is her reward for being good. If you would like to talk further about schutzhund or like to know anything else, you can e-mail me at philhoelcher@aol.com.
