Your Schutzhund Dog's
Foundation Training 

If you're frustrated or concerned about the level of training you're getting at you Club or 
Training Group - we can help. 

Let us do the "foundation" training and then you can enjoy finishing the dog in your Club. You can continue training your dog with the confidence that the basic training has been completed and you can concentrate on handling and titling your dog to his/her full potential. 

Protection Foundation Training

  • Calm, full grips

  • Powerful hold and bark

  • Consistent "out" and solid guarding

  • Accurate back transport and call from the blind (SchH 3)

  • Controlled heeling in the "attack on the handler" (SchH 1)

Obedience Foundation Training

  • Accurate heeling

  • Consistent "front" and "finish" 

  • Fast down with accurate recall

  • Consistent retrieves - flat - jump and scaling wall

  • Solid stand stays and accurate recalls (SchH 3)

  • Consistent send out and down

Tracking Foundation

  • Drive building and motivation for the "origin of the track" - the correct basics

  • Calm, confident starts

  • Correct article indication

  • Calm, accurate corners

  • No "lazy" or inconsistent tracking - only serious comprehensive tracking.

Even though each dog varies greatly in it's ability to do Schutzhund training, all dogs can be trained to their potential. Why "settle" for less than your dog can give you? Correct foundation training will provide this for you.


If your dog:

  • Has the potential for top scores or to achieve a title, but you feel the training in your Club won't realize the dogs potential;

  • Is beyond your training level (for health or other reasons) but that you'd like to handle to a successful title after the training is completed;

  • Has been trained incorrectly in some areas and needs some "re-training";

  • Needs the dumb bell, blind search, send out or other exercises completed after you've already started training the dog;

  • Has problems in tracking, obedience or protection - everything else is okay, but you have small problems in one phase or the other;

  • Has proven to be beyond your trainer or club helpers skill level (some dogs present "special" problems). We have the experience to train and title even the most difficult dogs.

After testing and assessing your dogs potential, we'll advise you of the dogs potential and make arrangements for a "board and train" situation. We offer many different programs - contact us for to discuss your training requirements.
