    Les Flores, Paul Schneider (and Glenn Bennett) attained exceptional National/International success while training with Jack Smith at Siegerhof and the GSSC.

    The Siegerhof/GSSC role in the National/International accomplishments of Les Flores (2000-2002) and ONE time National success of Paul Schneider (1998)
    Over the past few years we've heard of different "spins" and denials about our role in the Schutzhund sport accomplishments of Les Flores and Paul Schneider.
    We did train with these dog-handler teams and because of that training, they had great success at National and International Schutzhund competitions.
    The REAL/TRUE record is clear!

    **   Contrary to their comments, the training was done through sportsmanship and camaraderie without fee's, expense reimbursement or compensation, what-so-ever.   **

    Les and Paul have spread rumors and innuendo about our role, or lack thereof, in their accomplishments and the training methods used to arrive at the major changes in their scores, which was done in their presence, with their approval. It's time that  credit is given about our role in the Schutzhund sport successes of Les Flores and Paul Schneider.

    1. Glenn Bennett with Buck von der Pfalz had made SchH3 in 1988 and was training towards a goal of competing in National/International events. Buck was the right dog for Glenn and Glenn was driven to excel. Their tracking was solid and their obedience was INCREDIBLE! There is no dog (EVER) which had been (truly) trained in America (not in Germany and then TITLED in USA) that worked obedience as consistently, accurately and spirited as "Buck". But, they had major problems in protection. After a miserable showing at the North American Championship in 1989, Glenn made the decision to start training with us. (Even though it was a VERY long drive to training for him.)

    Glenn with Buck trained protection with Jack Smith and the GSSC  from 1989 through 1994 and achieved exceptional success in USA/National and WUSV/International competitions. They were  THE most successful (truly) American  trained, titled and handled (H.O.T.) German Shepherd in America. They won/qualified for more National and International competitions than ANY other (H.O.T.) dog-handler team in USA. Glenn and Buck were an enviable team to watch in Schutzhund trials and competitions.

    2. Paul Schneider asked that we work with him and his dog in preparation for the 1998 USA National Championship in Denver. The protection was totally deficient to compete with National level dogs-handlers. We worked extreme protection to overcome Paul's past training mistakes and had to compensate for the temperament of the dog. The final result at the 1998 USA National Championship for Paul was 97 points in protection and a 3rd place finish. CLICK HERE  After this 1998 accomplishment, while training with us, Paul and his new training partner, went on to the 1999 USA National Championship and the protection scores were disastrous. (P: 22 points   -   C: 62 points)   http://germanshepherddog.com/events/national_archives/1999nationals.htm

    3. Les Flores and Ziggo came to Siegerhof in 2000 while making 82-84 points in protection at SchH CLUB/local trials. We used advanced protection training techniques with Ziggo and got his scores up to 94 to 98 at highly competitive National and International competitions (not just local club events). Les and Dara Hunt- Flores were very appreciative at the time of the success and gave Jack total credit for their success AND the training education/knowledge that they had received about instincts, drives and advanced training techniques/methods. (We also trained with Dara's German Shepherd female which received her HIGHEST score she had ever attained.) CLICK HERE

    Each of the dogs handled by Les, Paul and Glenn were "broken" (in protection) prior to training here. The training had been sub-standard for so long that it took extreme methods/techniques to over-come the problems with the training that had been allowed for so many years.  While training with Jack/Siegerhof/GSSC, all made dramatic improvements in protection and had incredible successes.  Where are they now?
     

    Summary - As we all know, it's difficult to find helpers/trainers to work with us to attain titles, much less high scores in major competitions. (We've had the same problem!) It's our feeling people should give credit to those that DO help us attain high scores and positions in these tough National/International competitions.

    It's been Les and Paul's "policy" to ignore/deny help they received from us AND continually talk B.S. about us/those that did help them succeed. The accumulative impact has finally become more than is tolerable. For this reason, and ONLY this reason, we're making these points public.
    (It's gone on for 7-10 years - enough is enough!)   JAS
