All of my 5 dogs, not all SchH titled (some died to young) but ALL trained in SchH, and even none had CGC nor Therapy Dog titles etc. they all did very well ALSO around 95 disabled and mental retarded when I brought them to work and also when I brought a minor group of mental retarded to my home!
I rely and trust much more in a SchH, than a sweet pet with a CGC or an obedience title. Why??? Because my drivey, behaved, trained and mentally sound dogs… (but not roaring dogs, which has nothing to do with SchH prospects nor SchH at all… but the contrary
) have
proved they can handle stress in a proper way.
However Thris… when you state you know SchH dogs, who can’t pass a CGC or “simple” obedience and you have (only) seen a FEW good SchH dogs, I do think you hang out with the wrong and uneducated regarding working dogs and especially SchH. I think you are in bad company (so to speak!) or you simply just don’t know what you are talking about!!!
