Criteria for choosing
a QUALIFIED Schutzhund trainer or coach:
-
Who
did your training helper learn from to perfect his skill base (not a TRIAL
helper - there is a BIG difference - don't confuse a trainer with a
"trial routine technician")?
-
How
many dog-handler teams has he helped attain success - in all 3 phases?
-
Can
he present trial preparation information to you in an understandable way?
-
Has
he successfully trained MANY dogs from puppies AND succeeded with some of the best imported Schutzhund dogs in the World?
Diversity id the key to YOUR success.
-
Is
he a "hands on" trainer or simply a "
theorist" that has never successfully trained or assisted other handlers
in attaining titles AND National & International prominence?
-
Does
he have experience with MANY different types of performance/show dogs to have garnered an
understanding of all temperaments and the proper training methods associated
with all dogs (soft, hard, nervous, "high threshold", "low
threshold", etc.)?
-
Is
he a THREE PHASE trainer? Many are protection only "theorists"
that will leave you stranded trying to succeed in tracking and obedience.
If
your helper, coach or "training director" doesn't meet ALL of
the above
criteria, then you and your dog will not sustain your desired results.
